Over the last 3+years Roy has used his and his coaching teams experience and expertise to keep us in the PL with a shoestring budget and what is largely an inherited team put together by previous managers. The lack of investment in the squad is down to our directors who are either reluctant to invest in the squad or want out themselves and as a consequence we have one of the oldest squads in the PL which is prone to injury. Roy has limited resources week in and out to pick from and therefore his tactics and team balance is dictated by the ability of the players he has to choose from. The income Roy has generated for the this football club during his time as Manager is something we should all be grateful for. Sure he has to retire soon as he can't go on forever. However as thing stand within the club and the lack of desire to invest in the team, we will have a very low probability that we will ever be able attract a manager of his class to replace him, that is until the board decide where they stand a far a the clubs future is concerned.

you are a bit naive mate. what about the players that can get same or better wages elsewhere?

You’re not even trying, yet still supporting the OP’s unfounded claim he’s lost the dressing room? Chinny reckon!

Watch for goal celebrations. There seems to be no joy involved. Maybe it's because there are no fans to lap up the "performance". Poor things, all that strutting and giving it large missing from their game!
