Bigblueowl Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'd have Carlos back no problem as I think he has learnt a fair bit since! The thing that let him down with us was not freshening the squad up. The players were too comfortable and the starting team pretty much guaranteed!

Rogers Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Everyone saying Carlos spent the most money, etc. probably, but check the other thread on transfers, in reality that money is a pittance in today’s game and I’m sure he didn’t even want to sign Rhodes. We spent net $32m, $20m of which was in Rhodes. (Going on those figures) Because it was the most money we have spent, as a club, in 20 off years, doesn’t mean it was a fortune in the general scheme if things.

He made us dream that Wednesday we're on their way back. Some of the best football in years and some of the best atmosphere's in years. I just want that feeling back! 100%, at least until the Luddites in our fan base took over, demanding kick and rush, Megson style football. However, I still think Carlos was losing patience with those responsible for our recruitment. Had the recruitment, post Wembley, resembled year one’s recruitment under Roeder, we’d have achieved promotion within the timescale set by the chairman. We spent more in that second year, and improved the squad not one bit. What puzzles me is, who decided we’d be more successful adopting a long ball style? Jos, although he started to play that way, wasn’t here long enough surely, to have such a lasting influence. Where did it come from, it didn’t come from DC, but even managers like Bruce and Monk seemed wedded to it. Eventually we brought in Pulis, a known purveyor of hoofball, and someone we’d apparently courted before. Who was responsible for this change of emphasis, they have a lot to answer for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our wages however have been extortionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t have thought so and I don’t think they will have much to do with the player purchase price either. The fact is though that it’s the players wages recruited under Carlos which has been the killer for us financially rather than the purchase prices.
