No need to be so condescending, I am simply expressing a thought.
While yes, it would be daft to assume that there would have been no activity on the assumption we were already at a perceived 'good enough' level, it is surely not out of the question that the chairman/staff would have been shocked by such a heavy defeat? Some glaring weaknesses have been exposed and now very quickly afterwards not one but two players have surfaced to fill one such area.
