A lot of people are so desperate for instant gratification that they don't think of the consequences.
That's why I wouldn't have appointed this manager, or spent what we did, how we did. It was a high risk strategy, with a high risk of continuing the managerial merry-go-round.
This is fairly typical new owner stuff though, sack the sitting manager & bring in an "iconic" name & throw a few quid at it thinking it's just all that easy, think McLiesh replacing O'Driscoll, or Brum sacking Rowett & bringing in Zola. Reality is often much harder though & often forces a rethink.
Yeah hindsight is 20:20 though, you could use that argument if any manager had started this way.
Out of interest who would you have hired?
