Personally I think AK is one of the worst fit of managers we've ever had.
He did OK, he's not a bad manager by any standards, but his methods are geared towards a club with an owner like Gibson who is prepared to constantly back managers with money & time, and cycle players too. We aren't and haven't been this decade. The new owners have done nothing to show that they're any different.
We simply cannot afford to employ someone who relies on a "put in or your out" philosiphy, as we don't have the FFP freedom to replace a player every time they stop putting in.
We need a man motivator who makes the best of what he has, and in MON we've one of the better ones IMO. When he included Yates over the like of Geddy last season I was well chuffed, as it showed we can instantly trim a load of bloated crap from the squad like Bridcutt, Geddy, Tachy etc. & not be any worse off for it as we finished in our highest position in 6 seasons.
I think this past year was poorly planned and will have really set us back financially, and that we'll need a manager who'll be able to make something fro the scraps that are left when we trim the squad. MON is as good as we'll get for that.
