Re: JK statement...

I was disappointed to read the negative way he phrased this: "... which I believe will ultimately allow us to challenge for honours.” So, no expectation of anything this season and next then ...? "Ultimately" sounds like a long way away.
It seems to me that he's stacking up excuses (injuries, only just started in the role, not 'my squad' — really? still? — needed to change the culture, etc. ...).
He's been in charge 18 months — how long does it take to build a positive environment and culture?
My reading of that was that he meant we're happy to take the short-term loss of a player like Yarde if in the longer run it benefits the culture of the side.
Put it on the other thread before I saw this one, but I'm not so fond of his use of "I" rather than "we" in this context. It feels like it betrays a bit of personal insecurity. Can't see much wrong with the actual substance though.
