You stated: "You still think 2019 was a failure even though Delon, Seth, and Bobi look like great additions, and the team is already playing better than we expected?"
My answer to this is yes, I still think it was a failure and I can't accept a notion that our summer was a success, because our final signings were not our (initial) plan. I may have jumped to conclusion that you support this notion.
The only way I grade - they didn't aquire assets they could - either use remaining cap space for picks like a couple of other teams did or sign additional good players. I don't have a problem with who they did sign, I have a problem with what was left unused. This is bad management for me. Additional aspect - the FO themselves were building up fan expectations before the summer ("we like stars" and similar). It wasn't the fans, it was them. When they failed to deliver, they didn't admit they failed but started pointing fingers at "fans unrealistic expectations".
