First go at starting a thread and I dont think there are similar but feel free to merge if there is one
Was pondering this last night and was wondering whether our reluctance to appoint DOF will eventually hinder us in terms of signing players, especially the high profile ones such as Sancho, who we have been heavily linked with but dont think we will be getting if this continues
Obviously you have multiple other factors such as personal preference of the players/ agents/ wages & contract packages/ Being in the CL etc
However when it comes down to a straight choice between clubs say us and someone like Arsenal/ Chelsea who I believe have one and are in similar positions to us, does anyone think the well publicised issues with our higher structure will end up putting off players/ their over powered agents? Would this be negated if we had a more experienced manager and does Ole's lack of reputation as a manager perhaps emphasise it?
Obviously we are still big in name and a big brand but how long can that alone continue to attract the players?
