“GMs Rome was to provide continuity in recruitment in the event of this summer’s managerial change” is not described anywhere on the BBC website that you have referred to frequently. But in any case, I do actually think that recruitment is part of his role. And also to provide continuity in recruitment. But that continuity should only go as far as scouting players! It certainly shouldn’t be to sign players! Just because we didn’t actually sign anyone, do you really think that Gus wasn’t actively looking for players? As an example, Goodwin himself said that Gus had watched McLoughlin last season. This was obviously a player we were after before Goodwin arrived. And we signed him the day after he signed for Hull City. We couldn’t have signed him any earlier even if Goodwin had been here! Is you hump that we didn’t actually sign players before Goodwin arrived? Or that we didn’t sign them in time for the League Cup? Do you really believe that GMs role was to sign players without a manager place? Why would you even want that to happen? We’ve signed what looks to be a load of quality players. In what has he failed?
