Quote Irregular Hoops="Irregular Hoops"Quote Irregular Hoops="Chris71"It seems its not just words from AP as there is a real intent to clear out and make changes with players being offered to other clubs. I would imagine that BH will have had a big say as to who those players are, he has seen and worked with them all and will know without doubt who is prepared to push for that extra 1% for the team and who isn't. Certainly be interesting to see what develops in the close season in terms of player outgoings and incomings.
Its clear that the club is not getting anywhere near value for money from the current playing squad and since Motu left we have ended up once again with an unbalanced squad.'"
Really hope you’re right. I suppose the difference could be that this time a (relatively) new coach is involved, who has a more detached view.'"
AP in the past has said things when his emotions are high as although he's the owner he's as passionate as us the fans and feels the pain and probably more so in terms of outlay etc. Though previously I don't recall these actions being taken and do feel this was due in part to the current coach at the time.
I remember BH wanted to change the ethos and mentality and said its about the extra 1% from each player to give to the team. I think he has given the whole squad the opportunity to show what they are made of and sadly as is all too familiar as the pressure builds we just capitulate towards the end of a season.
As you say BH has a relatively detached view which will help him look objectively and advise AP on what needs to be done.
