We now know certainly that the squad is piss poor.
Does this make the claim that Russell was a shite manger a bit less convincing? If the players are so poor, what else could Russ have done?
I know he recruited many of the squad, but I guess 1) we don't really know how much influence he has over who was recruited and 2) we aren't certain on exactly how hamstrung we were in terms of who we could bring in with our budget in terms of initial outlay and wages...
What do you reckon, then? Russ not as bad as some make out? Both him and Juric working with their hands tied behind their backs?
