I wonder if here could be any other reasons why this happened?
We have PB last May saying he wants to sign players early in the local press and just last week CP saying the same thing. Its almost as if they are both trying to make a point to someone. mmmmmm
Think you’re a bit confused here. Not that your mate Phil would ever tell you as he’s such a proud bloke, but the likely reason we didn’t sign anyone early is because he was unable to attract his primary targets and we ended up with 2nd-4th/5th choices.
You’re right, I think CP was making a point.....to the fans. Making a point that he won’t leave things as late as the previous incumbent did. Just like he made a point in one of his first interviews that the players will have his full trust (like they didn’t from the previous manager) and that he will play players in their correct positions (like the previous manager didn’t).
The points he’s making are that he has identified the mistakes of the previous regime and won’t make the same ones.
