Sure he's made mistakes and continues to make mistakes from a tactical perspective but at the start of the season he had to watch as several of our better players, including he best central defender in the league, walk out the door for nothing at all...something that he had no influence over whatsoever.
Then he had to build a virtually new squad in a matter of weeks without being able to spend virtuallyany kind of fee, at that time an anathema to the Eisners, and paying low wages that meant we struggled to compete even with little clubs in the league that survive on gates of less than ten thousand.
We were then were forced belatedly to spend money on the likes of Morrell and complicated expensive loan deals such as Hirst.
Finally he was told in January that there was no money unless he managed to unload the under acheiving high earners at the club. Incredibly this was done and then he was let down again in terms of the quality/number of new players he was allowed to bring in.
Of course, we continually have to listen to the argument of what might have happened during the Covid period if the Eisners hadn't allegedly put thousnds into the club to keep us afloat. We must be eternally grateful otherwise we could have gone bust like numerous clubs in the EFL...I can't remember how many was that? Oh yeah, precisely none!
Allegedly?! Lol oh dear. You’re right, Cowley is a genius and the Eisners are doing everything to stop him succeeding.
