I recommend all reds to read the athletics article. I'll summarise for the tight reds:
There will be big changes to playing staff not coaching.
Question some players mentality.
January transfer was a disaster and the club know it. Our main targets were Gayle, Grosicki and Freeman.
QPR interested in Ben Watson offering him 2 year contract.
Qatar club interested in Grabban.
The manager at olympiakos messed up but they gave him a second opportunity and he won the league. They're giving Lamouchi a similar opportunity.
We may sell a big player (Not really an exclusive) .
They will tweak the recruitment.

But will they have to sell a big player to be able to reinforce the squad? We have flogged off forwards in the past who would have provided the extra needed to at least reach play offs. Bamford, Burke and even Appiah come to mind.

It’s all well an good saying stuff but I will wait until it happens.

Just more of the same, meaningless.

Gayle was not and is not the answer, unless we change formation with two up top. The teams that reach the auto spots generally play two strikers and take the game to the opposition. They generally have a couple of decent wiley old pros to bring off the bench, austin etc at westbrom. You only have to look at the type of players at these clubs to realise why we got found out.
Lamouchi may stay but unless the dof and a the majority of players are changed then nothing will be any different and getting things to jell in a short period and push for promotion will be very hard with the upheaval promised.
