The jury was out on Powell when he was appointed and his football has not appeased the natives in any way. To be fair to him he was still dealing with Phil Browns legacy of a divided changing room and stupid long contracts for deadwood.
Yep, dreaded long contracts for deadwood. People criticise Adams for his short termist 'lets see where we are in the summer' contracts policy, but he clearly likes the flexibility of clearing out players who aren't up to where he needs them to be.
We've lost Bradley and Threlkeld, but been able to move Marc McCallum, Nauris Bulvitis, Jordan Slew, Ryan Donaldson, Jimmy Spencer, Connor Smith, Gary Miller, ATS, Paul Paton, Peter Grant etc. when DA feels there are better options available. (Or that they aren't value for money.)
Where would we be and what players might we not have been able to sign if they were all on 2 or 3 year deals?
