I think you are probably right that he wasn't the right man for the job but given the vitriol of some supporters I wonder who is ?

As for the local Derby with the jacks we have struggled getting up for that for years and dave Jones once said it was just another game did he not ?

Who do you suggest would be a replacement given they have to work at this football club with its ridiculous expectations and the character of our owner ?
Well that's one opinion, but in reality football is unlike any other business, we saw managers in the Chsmpionship getting sacked only weeks after the season started.
The average tenure for a Championship manager is what, 18 months or so?
Everyone knows its bonkers, but and it's a big but
Everyone involved knows the score before getting involved.
Morison would have known this and his job, that he accepted would have had some guidelines

He didn't get rid of the dross, as in reality most of them were coming to the end of their lucarative contracts.

Therefore you could argue that he had a clean sheet to bring in his own players, and was backed accordingly
I don't think theres any such thing as a real free transfer now it's just about the player getting a signing on for rather than his old club getting the cash.

Knowing the limited timeframe that he had to operate in, he brought in players to do a job

I very much doubt that the guidelines he was given included the option of producing a team that couldn't score goals, or that had no bottle for a fight

We have become too easy to play against, its Morisons team and in a results driven business you either deliver or go, it's nothing more complicated than that

Looking at the results for 10 games, we have taken 11 points out of 30 on offer

That's a fact and it simply isn't good enough

It's a results driven business, rightly or wrongly and you don't have time or the luxury for projects
