Hasn't years & years of changing manager after manager highlighted just how it's only 1 part of the puzzle, and how what's more important is what happens at the top level?
No manager is ever gonna be successful if we screw them over like we have the past umpteen years. As a club it's way more important that we operate correctly, and that isn't given a manager 1 window with significant backing to shape a side, pulling the plug, and throwing someone headlong into a promotion battle with a bunch of crap loans.
Is MON the right man or not? Well, who cares? Until the top brass stop filling the squad full of sub-standard dross like Dias, and ripping the rug from underneath managers halfway through a job it matters little.
For me our biggest weakness, which was on display today, is the weak mentality at the club. And that is never gonna go away until a manager has at least 1 full season to instill some proper backbone, and players can't slack off knowing that another change is around the corner anyway.
Whoever starts as manager next season, bar a genuine relegation fight (bottom 5 for significant amounts of time) simply has to get the full season.
Amen to Alf.
