You don’t really believe that do you. I’m not saying that NW is beyond criticism, but I suspect that he has his reasons for not starting Tomlin.
I get your point about him blaming the officials or the opposition when we don’t play well, but plenty of managers do it at every level. Deflecting negative attention towards his players in order to keep morale high in the camp is something he’s well known for and it can’t be denied he does know what he’s doing.
I think things like that are forgiveable if the team is generally performing well.
