We don't even know who the manager is yet and you are picking his captain.

Johannes Spors comes from wanting a Red Bull style of football. Numerous interviews from his past stating that, plus some in his time at Saints. He won't be picking a manager that gets them to play like Martin did.

So you agree with my post!

He absolutely has star quality. He isn't helped by being in an awful team. His confidence has looked shot recently because his teammates are out of their depth. £20m is a ridiculously low price for him. As I think you will see in the summer.

3rd or 4th choice centre back for a promotion chasing Championship team. Not regularly starting and not kept if promoted again to the Premier League.

Do you think he'll leave in the summer? How much do you think he is worth?

We have an exceptionally bad season and people lurch to extremes. Sure, we've been absolutely terrible this season and completely put of our depth in the Premier League, but that doesn't mean our players are League 1, League 2, non league or should never be footballers. We have a Championship level squad with a handful of PL quality players. That is why we have 11 points after 35 games, along with some dreadful managerial decisions.

None of that is in any way relevant to the post you replied "fuck me" to. The post you replied "fuck me" to asked the question... "What do we really know about his ability to coach rather than manage?" That is a question about Rusk's time as a coach under Martin and Juric.

What? Before we go down another rabbit hole... by recruitment I mean of players and also hiring/firing managers and their styles of play.

And that makes him "not a footballer"?

Hyperbole. Sure he isn't Premier League level. But he is fine in the Championship.

Why are you asking that, when the post you just quoted literally says... "Leicester are better than us". "other Championship clubs (bar Ipswich)"... means other i.e. other than Leicester that I already mentioned who were better!

It is the actions of people who are no longer making those decisions. No one is responsible for the actions of those that came before them in any field of work.

Do you know what his exact tasks were under Martin and Juric? Plus he wasn't making final decisions at that time.

Yep, based on what? Out of your depth in the PL does not mean the players aren't good enough for a promotion challenge in the Championship.

Even if they were still in the Championship they could not get remotely close to his wages, let alone in League 1. Stephens is currently on PL level wages probably north of £60k per week. Even with a 40% relegation paycut, non parachute payments Championship teams could not afford him, let alone Plymouth in League 1. He'd really need to want the move for it to happen, as it'll be a monumental wage cut!

Based on what? The issue is recruitment. We have a new recruitment team that have not had a transfer window yet to judge them on.

The younger players haven't really been been the main issue. It is the older ones we've signed that are not good enough!

They have made steps to do that. But we can't see any possible rewards of that until the transfer window opens.
