The youth argument makes no sense, are folk seriously saying McGhee being forced to play a 16 year old yesterday and a 17 year 25 times this season is signs of a good youth policy? Both are good in short dozes but neither are ready for first team action. Pawlett has suffered almost instant burn out unfortunately but I would also state if he was available we'd have been a lot higher in league. What other youth players is it that McGhee has had at his disposal exactly?
In time I think there is signs of good players and ability but the players are being forced through.
Most of McGhee's signings have been dire in my opinion but I also think the current squad was dire. This is shown by Calderwood's record before he was sacked, was it not something like 3 wins out of 17?
There is a chronic lack of investment, the fact is that £18,000 per week was saved in the summer on out of contract players leaving and the manager was given £3,000 per week to replace the players!
