They’re a falling into place.
First…sign up the manager. This means a) stability, but b) that the owner will likely now bring in a few key players that will have been part of the deal getting done.
Next we need Evans to be appointed captain and sign a new contract: one in which he has assurance that certain new players will soon join the team…such as Jones and Smalling.
All that is then needed is Gareth Barry (to fill the Fletcher) role, and an attacking link-up man with some vision. N.B. If he is genuinely out of sync with TP, maybe Chadli goes and a more committed player of similar stature comes in?
Whatever…I think the TP signing is going to trigger some positive moves.
