Quote: Prince of Denmark "I got the impression that when Brian McDermott sent players out on loan it was because he'd already decided they weren't good enough for him and he wanted to offload them before the end of their contract if possible, not with a view to them coming back stronger as part of long term planning. It may be different now.
I always thought it seemed slightly sinister the way some players seemed to get totally frozen out under the previous regime.'"
Powell is different in this sense in that you get the feeling these are measured and throughout loan signings two games into the season. Another thing I like about Powell is that he knows who he wants in the team and this is evident with only minor changes in the squads for the last two games.
