And the inference is clear that the majority of signings under Koeman and Puel were 'their' players not some black box findings from Les 'that we've been watching for years'. 'Years' really? I've got no problem with that whatsoever but Reed certainly leaves himself open when he trots out the marketing line.
I don't see any reference to exclusively buying from those markets. Oh, and Redmond arrived in the summer, well before Claude was appointed. Nice try though.
As Fitzhugh Fella said, I would think they are lining up his replacement to announce shortly after letting Puel go. Same as a lot of clubs do. It may well be that that part of it is not going to plan right now.
Probably half the posts are from the Puel-in camp who counter every Pule out post. As for the replacement that's hardly the role of the supporter. We have a black box don't you know and years and years of succession planning in place. The club is structured so that manager changes are transparent and seamless.
