I`m going to be kind to you.
He was given a golden opportunity, to get rid of the reputation he`d built up over 20 yrs, as a "limited" manager.
You`d think that with twenty years as a manager and the fact that he was allegedly one of the most up to date managers in the game, re modern coaching methods and sports science, that he`d be able to coach more than the footballing equivalent of " Up and Under ".
( I strongly suspect that the myth, that he`s a progressive manager, is a myth that he`s created himself.)
The fact that after twenty years of coaching, it`s more than apparent, that he`s incapable of delivering anything other than what we`ve seen since he`s been here - footballing aids.
He can blame who he wants, as he always does, but however you dress it up, he`s blown this one last golden chance in spectacular fashion.
If showed some humility and honesty from day one, stating that the football may not be pretty, but needs must until we were safe, more would`ve been open to giving him a chance.
He hasn`t though, it`s been all about him, what a great manager he is and that he knows best.
