Well he's some need to talk on that. Our recruitment is not and has not been fit for purpose for years now.

Well, hopefully he will get the players he wants, then gets them playing the way he wants. It does put pressure on Brady to get results if the majority of the squad are "his" players as opposed to someone else's dross.
