On the contrary, I would say that is fairly pessimistic take on things. The best that can be said is that Treliving has been consistently active and determined to upgrade the position, has targeted several high end players to fill it, but that deals have fallen through for a variety of reasons. While he has not yet solved the problem, the players he has targeted have looked good in the places they have played.



So, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle between these two interpretations of the situation.
