The style we play is cowardly and we are in no way, prepared to take on the opposition. The brave managers, coaches and players, are the ones who are attempting to play the right way, in a style that is sustainable in so many different ways. Recruitment, development, long term progress, selling players on at a profit.

We rarely improve a player, none of our managers go on to better things, and our success is short lived. That's because of the way we play.

The way we play is easy, effortless, it's a cowards way out. Players not allowed to get on the ball and test themselves, as they would have been encouraged and taught to do as youngsters.

The passing and movement style of play is much more difficult to master than the way we play. Other clubs are brave, our club is shit house.
Thanks. I agree with much of your post but the issue raised in my second sentence makes the point that any new manager would find it difficult to convert our bunch of hoofers into a team that can play in a less agricultural way.

Basically the club is in a mess and frankly the problems seem to go much deeper than appointing a new manager. There is such shortism in football that any incumbent would end up making the best of what he has inherited meaning the same old same old tactics would be used assuming a new manager is concerned about continuing in his job. Isn't that what McCarthy has done and Harris before him?

All I know is that the owner must be so frustrated at having sunk around Ł150m into the club which ended up with a team serving up utter garbage week in and week out.
