Why do you think that we need to sign players so depseratley??? We have improved the squad since last season - a season where we lost in the UEFA cup q's to the winners (and our current bosses former team) and where we had good runs in other cups and finished 5th in the league.
We even managed most of last season without King.
There is no way we have taken a step backwards by employing one of the world's best coaches.
The problems with the squad this season were obvious last season. Without King we were knocked out of all the cups, and if he had not returned would not have qualified for UEFA through the league (as Jol as said).
And if we were so good last season, why replace the manager?
Our performance this season has been worse than it need have been, and worse than last season, because of the undermining of Jol’s authority as manager. But the bottom line is that the squad is not good enough, and bringing in a new manger is not in itself going to fix that.
