I think deep down Curle knew the squad would be crap this season hence why he kept going on about good housekeeping as deflection, and many on here ended up seeing through that pretty quickly.

Now I don’t know if the club thought there would be loads of desperate players out there so we could get some players who’d be otherwise out of our price range but that clearly never happened.

I assume Curle had final say over signings so I can’t fully blame Tracey but it’s almost like the scouting team never adjusted their expectations of players and continued to sign L2 quality players thinking that’d be acceptable. Was anyone we signed in the summer actually an improvement on what we had in the position last season? The club get a pass for Goode as 7 figures would’ve been ridiculous to turn down. But Horsfall and Bolger (we paid a small fee for him too didn’t we?) were obviously worse than any of our core back 3 last season - whom formed a solid base for us to build off. Others have already mentioned the slew of forwards brought in who failed to fill the void left by either Oliver or Morton.

It’s clear that good players are available ‘within our budget’ because we had some of them already. Can almost be certain that last season’s league two squad would’ve finished above this season’s squad.

So yeah the recruitment needs an overhaul. You see other clubs sell a good find to a higher league club, then they replace them with another one and do it again. The Posh did it a number of times with strikers over the last 10-15 years.
