I think you perhaps misunderstood me a bit or I'm misunderstanding you. I am in fact agreeing with you here, ha.Only our fanbase could throw so much criticism at new owners weeks into their time in charge, who have taken decisive action with a flailing manager who had checked out, and seemingly have a replacement and plan in place in advance, and have an idea of what they want to do longer term.
Now, you can feel underwhelmed with it, and disappointed its not more ambitious (I am), but without knowing what alternatives there were immediately available and wanting to come - probably very few, possibly none - it's a decisive plan that has been executed pretty swiftly.
It what's Bill Kenwright would have done.Ambition without a plan or competency mate is the regime we just left behind, Moyes builds football clubs.
It’s a very clever appointment.
I'd just about accept it for 6 months, after that no I wouldn't take it because we are going nowhere with Moyes as manager. We need to enter the modern football age, get a top class DOF in and appoint a progressive coach. That's the only way we are going to get any success. We are wasting the next 2 years with Moyes as manager if he's on a 2.5 year contract.
Didn’t we have the two best full backs in Europe at one point according to the statistics, Coleman and Baines.We won nothing. A few finishes for European places, wow. That's mediocrity and the football we played was the very definition of mediocre.
I agree with your last sentence, I just disagree that you need one man for the first objective, staying in the league, and a different one for the more long term goals. Not if you have competent people running a football club. The question is, do we?In some ways yes but we are 1 point above the relegation zone at the minute. The objective this season will purely be stay in the league which I know it shouldn’t be, but that’s where we are after a manger that has won us 3 games all season and 8 in a 12 month period.
He's deadIt what's Bill Kenwright would have done.
Someone new, with fresh ideas. Not a sixty one year old former manager who will manage slightly less defensively than Sean Dyche for a minimum 18 months. New owners and a new stadium was supposed to be the start of a new era. Doesn't feel like a new era, Matty.
It what's Bill Kenwright would have done.
But his culture lives on. And his son is back tonight.He's dead
