Looking back at the last 2 summer windows and it’s clear to see:
2024
AWB aside. Massive overpays on all. None of them have come close to showing a return
2025
Fernandes/Diouf/Magassa could come good but all will be sold at a huge loss if we go down.
Todibo has gotten better but still a big overpay for 40 mil
Spent 20 mil on a keeper who sits on the bench
Huge thanks to Steidten, Lopetegui and Potter combined for creating this mess and a bigger shout out to Sullivan/Brady for letting it all happen.

Quite impressive how dreadful and expensive the recruitment has been
Goes back further than that. Moyes will go down in history at this club and rightfully so but the rot started there, the squad became old and thin.
Ultimately I don’t blame any of the managers because it’s on the club. No manager will ever succeed at this club long time, Moyes succeeded in spite of the board. Not because of them.
Any decent modern club has someone in charge of recruitment that isn’t the manager which enables consistency. That way you sack the manager but then replace him with someone who can come in and use the same group of players. Were similar to Man United in that we end up with a squad of players built for four different managers and then we’re wondering why no one’s getting results out of them
All that Rice money just completely down the drain
