Kia Joorabchian fits into that there though, not just Gourlay, Dai was responsible for giving these people the power he did and he trusted them and, most of the time, it failed. The ridiculous amounts of spending, the reluctance to sell players for good deals and offering players massively inflated contracts for players that either weren't suited to the league especially (Puscas) or players that just weren't that good and didn't justify what they earned (Aluko, Baldock, Moore etc).
As mentioned, July-September 2023 is an important period for me, assuming we are still a Championship club. Hopefully a successful campaign this time with our current recruitment strategy will show the people in power that throwing money at flashy objects isn't the solution, it's a careful scheme of buying players that fit a particular style and looking to build a proper culture that Ince talks about.
Agree with Stranded, if we do go and spend a fair sum of money on players, such as Loum at the end of this season for example, then I'd be happy considering it's a good deal and/or we get resale value for the player. We certainly need to go back to what made the club successful, prudent spending, good deals and selling players for good money and replacing accordingly. With the training ground, potential stadium renovation still in the works etc, we are better placed as a club to attract better players and build a stronger squad.
