I get the impression Mick and a coach of that vintage could give several reasons why he has played 5 centre backs and it would be more than above the level of understanding of those in charge of our club. Look at the run around Warnock gave them.

This is why we need a DOF. The club is expensive to run but it is needlessly expensive in many areas due to a simple lack of knowledge.
I'm fed up of owners just making sweeping decisions like we need to save money without thinking it through or realising the impact of the decision and how this weakens the team etc. This isn't a Kenny Roger's Roaster or the like, it is a professional football club.
it's clear you don't like Tan or anyone that he's bought in, so are going to criticise anything they do, but if you look at the finances cost cutting isnt a decision we can avoid at the moment, unless we had a realistic chance of promotion. which we don't.
if you look at the numbers we have to cut costs. if we can bring youth players through then we will be in a better position when we are able to start rebuilding again. all Mick needs to do is keep us mid table while that happens, but he's making an absolute mess of that with his bizarre decisions
