Not having a go at you btw IBK, appreciate the post and I CAN see there is another side to the argument. It's just I don't find it convincing given the urgency of the present situation. It really annoys me to throw away this season for want of - what will we call it? - an admission we fucked up in the summer? Or, even simpler, a logical, reasonable, sensible response to an unfortunate injury situation.

I see the whole thing as crazy. When you MUST do something and you do NOTHING, what are the predictions for your fortunes?
