If they’ve been disastrous, why would you have them in the team?!
Unfortunately, while we’d all will them to succeed, we’re only really even considering them as starters due to their transfer fee. If they were like Max Muller a few years ago, a freebie project signing, we wouldn’t do that at all.
The Danes were likely sold a very specific vision - move to this club in England that you’ve probably never heard of, because we are getting a Danish manager you’ve very much heard of, and you’re going to be vital to his team’s spine.
Oh and also, the team is flying and you’ll probably be in the championship next year.
Then the manager falls through and they get Dodds, who doesn’t play them much, and it all goes tits up. Then they get Duff, who also doesn’t seem to rate or play them much.
Oh and you’re in what’s starting to look like a relegation battle.
While they’ve been fairly unimpressive, I can see why they might be pretty demotivated and disorientated by the whole saga.
Have not all Dan Rice’s signings been poor, can’t think of a single player he’s signed permanently in the last 15 months that would get in to our first 11 from any of the last five seasons.
