I don't think anyone with a read on Rasmus and the philosophy he brings thought we would stop being a selling club. Look at Brighton or Brentford, that's the financial model we're chasing. Being a selling club works to the club's advantage if managed well. As far as financial stability is concerned from the CEO it's refreshing to hear that transparently from him given the last time we didn't give focus to the club's financial management we ended up in league one. At the end of the day, as long as Wilcox continues to recruit in line with his proven track record we will continue to buy young talent, develop them with us and sell high. As long as the production line doesn't stop it's sustainable. The vision is clearer then it's been in years in my opinion, that doesn't mean you have to agree with it mind.

The thing that pleases me the most in this latest press conference is that he had a plan for every player and had honest conversations with everyone about their roles between now and the end of the season. With a squad of 30 players this would have been really important in setting expectations and managing those personalities. It does look like we might not see much of Sam Edozie, Aribo etc. as they were in the B team and likely out of the squad for a bit but it does mean he has a good idea of his best 11/Matchday squad. This has been the most inconsistent aspect of the season to me, with constant changes to personnel and shape so let’s hope he knows this squad better than us and gets them playing the way he wants! I thought our season was dead and buried after Wolves. Now I’ve got SOME hope no matter how small… 😅
