In short, Evatt did a lot more damage, more thoroughly and earlier than we have considered. He utterly wasted this year & spent ยฃmillions doing so.
Tje mentality is set & I fear another good number won't easily shake it off.
Happy with Schu but he needs to drop the Evatt-light tippy-tappy.
Sums it up for me. I hoped that with Evatt gone they'd blossom. But, after the first 3 or 4 under Svhu they reverted. Like it's been coached too far to be overridden.
5m left. But have we so much as looked like scoring ?
Tje fearful thing, & I'm not getting at Schu here, is that it looks like an Evatt performance. Little spirit, little guile, utterly uninspiring.
When did Scouts spotting decent players & watching then a few times to assess if they'd fit in stop ?
Around the time of xG, Channels & 'false 10's " I suspect.
He had all those days off don't forget.
... & bets are easily done on line. His resumption came from a few sources, including at the hotel & backroom staff.
I understand that Sharon cleared his debts with a loan & gifts and the first thing he did was to start betting again.
He also has a divorce to fund.
He needs the money alright
H His personal 'foibles' will be well known ... indeed, the stuff of boardroom giggling.
Certainly known by fans all over.
It IS, vaguely possible, someone will take him on.
He'll never get the sort of protection or support he did here.
