He said it's very difficult to get going. 8 weeks behind in terms of preparation, we're having to use League games for fitness purposes. He wants more players but is resigned to not getting any of his initial targets. Wants a fitness coach desperately and more medical staff to help cope with the injuries because players are picking up niggles due to them being under-prepared and having no recovery time. This is their 3rd game in 7 days today and they've not had a pre-season, so injuries will come. He praised the fans and said they were good so far. By and large it paints a very depressing picture of what's going on behind the scenes. Oyston obviously won't pay for a fitness coach or the medical people Riga has asked for, otherwise they'd be at the club wouldn't they? Cash rich we are, but that's just an illusion created by KO, as clearly none of the cash is going to be spent on the football club. It should be re-phrased that the Oystons are cash rich, while 'the club' is living in abject poverty. I don't agree with TwoPhillips that Riga is getting his excuses in early or covering his back - there isn't a manager in the world who could concoct a winning side from the embers of Oystons act of arson which took place this summer. I'm expecting nothing until at least September in terms of results. The performances might steadily improve, but i can't see us winning today sadly - and don't blame Riga or the players one bit. There's simply no excuses for what has happened over the past few months and it's nothing short of disgraceful. [Post edited 16 Aug 2014 10:56]
