When you sell the club as a stepping stone to a bigger stage, this is what happens.  The trouble is the club are finding they are not having the control they might have imagined in that they can not move them on when it suits them. 

 

The players are increasingly initiating their exit from the club and of course once everyone knows they are keen to move on, it reduces the transfer fee.  They will probably always end up underselling a foreign player because of this whereas with a (local) player like Carroll who was happy to stay, they can maximise the fee.

 

The club cannot afford to make the new manager's job any more difficult by selling players this month and not replacing them.  If they do that and then we are drawn into a relegation fight, the new guy will get so much unfair criticism from everyone.

Are these quotes even new quotes or are they the same ones that came out a few weeks ago?

That article implies they are new quotes.

 

 

What he's being quoted as saying appears to be the same as a few weeks ago being recycled.  It could be as accurate as Garde playing for Carlisle, at least as far as being new.

I thoroughly expect him to be gone by the end of the week...

 

...and I'll have no axe to grind if he does decide to move on. He's got his career to think about and wanting to achieve things before he hangs up his boots is natural and understandable. Him showing a bit of ambition at this point in time contrasts perfectly with our latest managerial appointment and magnifies the differences in ambition and goals. He's not the weird one for having ambition, we're the freaks for actively wanting to stand stock still.

He has every right when his employers actively try to not win things/be successful. We probably lied to him to get him to sign in the first place.
