Not sure I'm on board with the idea that our squad has been "gradually degraded".
The squad we had last season could have made the playoffs with competent management, and arguably the season before that too. It did make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons before Russy got his hands on it.
Things have taken a bit of a downturn this year, but that's more of a consequence of trying to change styles, sacking the manager who was supposed to implement the change, then hiring a new manager who wants to play the way we used to in the first place. We've got a load of players, permanent and loanees, who Williams has no use for and will have to be moved on to provide him with funds for players that he does want.
Our recruitment was disorganised and clueless, an echo of the general off field situation at times.
