There seems to be a lot of vitriol towards RDZ at the moment, primarily is he really aligned to the Club's strategy? Can it also be said that this is the same for a section of our fanbase?
It's no secret that we are not a "Big 6" club and we currently do not have the resources of those but have recently been able to compete due to the club's strategy. A strategy where PBOBE has openly said on many occasions, that there will be bumps in the road. Yep we've hit one of those big bumps! Recruitment is difficult for a club of our size, but some think it's the same as walking into a sweet shop and saying I'll have that one. We have a wage structure - where are these ready made replacements for Mac and Caicedo that won't bust our wage structure. Players like Kovacic and Nunes at Man City would walk straight into our side, but are bit part players at City - why are they there - money and glory (which we don't have for this type of player!)
So do we trust the process or do we throw our toys out of the pram and blame anything and everything for this bump? Either you are aligned with the club's strategy or you walk away - it really is that simple as none of us, not even RDZ, are going to change it. As an analogy, we are a medium sized retailer and we want to compete with the likes of Sainsburys and Tescos in the next 6 months - life just doesn't work like that unless TB wants to risk/spaff many more millions that he may not want to do - that's his prerogative, not the fans.
That's why our business before the 30th June is key to our short term success - I'd rather support a club in the current environment that is in a strong position, compared to most of our opposition (outside the Big 6 ex Chelsea)
The club are never going to get everything right, but they have a decent track record - keep the faith.........
