HR interview - assessing squad & what's needed

[Stanley]

The problem as I see it is that Harry is not looking beyond this season. His aim is to keep the club in the Premier and then retire for good. After that, it will not be his business. So, he will definitely not gamble with unproven players in the Premier. He will go for experience, meaning more 30+ players!

Harry's a canny and experienced enough manager to keep us up next season, and not stupid enough to believe we'll do it by not having pace where needed in the side, even if he's restricted by a tighter budget.

Worth remembering too we'll have the advantage that many players will prefer us over other clubs because a) they like playing for him and b) we're in London.

The only downside is, as you say, we'll need to rebuild again with a new manager for season 2015/16.
