“When you think back over time, as football managers we never really wanted to bring in 8 players… You didn’t want your squad changing so much.
I think that’s completely changed like lots of things in football have. Bigger squads means more players not playing, so it means more players unhappy, who want to play or move on… And at the end of the season I think that’s why there’s now bigger turnovers than there has ever been.”
