Surely it is KR's job to assemble the squad? Either by direction or by personal intervention. He may have issues with budgets but that is something he would know about in advance. He may have issues with squad caps or salary caps but, again, he has advance knowledge.Yes of course this is true. Every team has the odd disaster like Northampton, but for us it means too much because we are trying to catch up on our bad start. But whose fault is it that we take so long to assemble a fit squad? Is it all down to Karl? Genuinely not sure
There has to be something deeper that prevents us assembling that, let's call it 'adequate' squad. (I don't think anyone is going to get a 'perfect' squad)
There will always be players that can't be recruited for any number of reasons but that's when the second or third choice comes into selection. The recruitment side of the club will have a list of candidates who meet the requirements, sift through those names, pick out the best options and start a dialogue.
Apparently, we go down a different route. Set the target on one individual and forget the rest until it's too late. How many last second signings have we seen in recent times?
