And 153 goals conceded in the last two seasons. That's the worst defensive record of any club in Europe's five top leagues over that period.
Orta was just incapable of signing decent defenders or keepers.
Pokes holes on Ortas whole method. He was just signing players for profit. Wingers and forwards turn a decent profit. Defenders don't. He's signed some decent ones like Monteiro, Hjelde and Drameh. But the maturation curve is much longer for defenders.

Due to our board, the coaches and the players we've suffered badly these past two seasons.
It's a huge opportunity wasted.
We'll suffer again until we get a board in that can manage the club professionally and make correct and progressive decisions.
Sam Allardyce is not the answer btw.
Yep, a great opportunity to build on after 16 years in the wilderness, and we've fucked it big time. I agree, Mr Potato Head is not the answer and needs to be part of the wholesale clearout.

I think he will, and by a lot...
I was thinking Radz might make up his losses by flogging a few players, but then who are worth cashing in before he jumps ship with his pockets resembling stuffed Christmas turkeys?
If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Russell Martin looks like he is going to Southampton. That is his neck of the woods so a desirable appointment from his perspective.
If so, I’d interview Sellés for our gig. Thought he did the impossible down there on the coast and played some nice football with a set of players worse than our own.

Anywhere north of Watford is Scottish
Correction, anywhere north of England is Scottish, you southern softie Sassenachs keep t’other side of that wall. It was built for a reason.
