DMAA 3,603 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 If I was the manager I would have said the same. I’d have at least signed some Football Manager wonderkids or something though. Not Lammers and Dessers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,330 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 If we had a DoF, is there any guarantee that he would have overruled Beale on some of his signings? Beale did a good job with regards to getting in the players he wanted. The quality of these players is a different matter but that's easy to argue about it with hindsight. Where the board did let us down in not having a DoF was moving some players out. It doesn't seem that Beale was too invested in ensuring we got players out the door. The other area that Beale totally ignored was looking at the make-up of our Euro squad and the lack of homegrown players. Again, I'd have hoped a DoF would have insisted that more attention was paid to this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'd have hoped a DoF would have insisted that more attention was paid to this. This is a big issue I have with our recent transfer business. Probably a big driver in Hagi leaving was the fact we couldn't fit him in the Euro squad. Also worth noting that Rice and Lovelace, our 2 most promising youngsters couldn't be registered in the squad. These restrictions are not new. Ross Wilson should have been planning on mitigating it but clearly wasn't. This is an issue that cant be fixed in one transfer window unless we go out and get John Fleck, Ryan Hardie or other players that are technically 'homegrown' for us. But they are not good enough. This is a problem that transcends managers and will have us hamstrung in Europe for years unless we magically produce around 4 first team ready youngsters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
