Correct me if I am wrong but wont most of the 5m reduction seems to be coming from payouts which isn't coming out of the football operating budget. I really struggle to see how anyone can read that article and decide we are no longer finals threat consistently or to suggest the team is going back to pre Gus times in terms of the limitedresources is really reading a f**kload into a budget.
Ivans finals record is one appearance in his past 7 seasons as coach. He will be leading us for the next 4 seasons without Gus around to help him/us get shit done.
The budget being lessened. Our biggest attraction for sponsors and players is gone. This is our weakest roster in 7 or 8 years. Every team starts with a chance to make the finals. But realistically how good would ours be?
In your opinion. Koroisau was a solid signing fixing an issue in the roster. Tetevano and Capewell prevented us from being able to fix our next biggest issue (our backs).They have done well with recruitment so far.
They wont let the team down. They are handy players. But they dont make us a better teamas such. A similar quality centre could have had a much bigger impact toward improving us.
I know we missed out on a couple. But rushing to fill our roster with whoever we could get is hardly good recruitment. Why give up on fixing the issue by adding depth we don't need?
Gus f**ked up in the roster management too. Everyone makes bad decisions at times. But our roster has not been this poorly balanced in a very long time.
