Yet, behind the scenes, much of the preparation has already begun. Recruitment is a 12-month operation, and while manager Chris Davies focuses on tactics and team selection, the club’s transfer team is busy compiling shortlists and analyzing potential targets. Last summer, Blues signed 12 players, followed by another six in January. This came on the back of a remarkable 20 signings during their League One title-winning season.
