It simply isn't & I am 100% certain that the club doesn't see it as irrelevant either. To dismiss it as irrelevant is just a crude attempt to bury bad news & had we won 15 games in a row, at the end of last season, I am also 100% sure that we would all be sitting here now using it as mitigation against this seasons sluggish start & you would in no way be attempting to dismiss it as irrelevant.

& a new one was bought last summer, & last January, & next January. That's sadly how modern football works. Leeds are currently top of the table with 10 new players & a new manager, & last season wolves were up there with 23 signings & a new manager.

Every team signs players, but it doesn't negate, nor make irrelevant Karanka's past form & results, especially when they are consistent with the current seasons.

Quote:Whether we’d won every game or lost every game last season doesn’t have a bearing on how this new team will perform.

No but would have a bearing on the managers abilities, which is what is being discussed.

You are just attempting to dismiss an inconvenient truth.

You realise that even if you dismiss that truth that in the real world it doesn't actually change anything?

The board is no more, or less likely to keep, or dismiss Karanka because you've chosen to ignore results & performances from last season, especially with regards to performances where we saw clear indications of tactics & formations, consistent with this seasons & the performances & results they have so far produced.
