Hanley and Franke were bought season 1…

Hanley after a humping away defeat at Millwall.3.5 million was decent money for us at the time minus parachutes .

Of course in the longer term we need to see improvement. Our current 09th place is hardly a disaster given the scale of change, squad deficiencies and injuries. You don’t seem willing or able to give him a chance ?
