On the whole i was fine with the transfers last summer, no doubt Howe was as well, however 3 or 4 or them have not worked at all and we spent a lot of money on them, add to that the ones who are coming to the end of their careers.
It might just seem like to big of a rebuild for him, hes all about progression and moving forward, with no Europe next season we have definitely gone backwards.
Does Howe have it in him to go again ? I genuinely hope so, but I'm not 100% sure he will.
