Off the
pitch they're the usual
mess of heavily - moneyed shouting,
and on it they're nothing special, an incoherent headache, significantly less than the sum of their parts.
Valencia finished in the top four 5 times in 7 seasons between 2005
and 2012, though such heady days remain a distant memory as
on -
pitch success has been compromised by outrageous debt
and the financial
mess that envelopes the club
off the field.
Its been obvious to most that this squad of players has not been right since the end of that 1st great season under Bilic orchestrated
on the
pitch by Payet.This was followed by a disastrous Summer window when we bought bulk instead of quality, top that
off with the Payet wanting to leave fiasco
and we have never been the same since.Odd good displays which flattered to deceive but in general a gradual
and consistent decline to the bottom.Moyes has inherited this group
and i can honestly not see how it will change until January in the transfer market.He will not get a bumper warchest to improve thats for sure
and who would want to buy some of these under achievers to create money for new buys.Its a
mess and has been since that awful Summer transfer window plus
on top of which far too many of this lot have under achieved drastically be it new players we have bought or the OLD boys.Its an ageing side especially at the back
and needs a serious overhaul.
