He's turned round players who had previously flattered to deceive such as Danny Drinkwater and Jamie Vardy and got every last ounce of
effort out of a squad which in a certain light, has an alarmingly lower league hue.
The pressure increases on the front office, from both the fan base and the media, to 1) sign ANYONE to at least give the appearance
of being «active», and 2) make a «name» signing... which explains why the signings
of a practice -
squad LB (Marcus Dowtin), rotational DT (Alan Branch), and a LB whose own team made no
effort to resign despite his supposed versatility (Manny Lawson) were spun as «fantastic» — and why the signing
of an oft - injured QB who flamed
out on two teams (Kevin Kolb) was hailed.
