The thought occurs that there was more to MON and RK leaving than player power and their training methods, I suspect disagreement on transfer policy played a pretty major part. Somehow I think they would have been less on board with the way we seem to be going.
Who’s right? No idea. We have tried the known Championship/ex prem route and it hasnt worked. We’ve tried the european way too but we hope this time that there has been a bit more homework done than watching a youtube video of Dimitriu.
What I am fairly confident of is that wherever we end up finishing we will have enjoyed watching Lamouchi’s football more than we would have if we had stuck with MON and unveiled James Mclean as the star signing.
I think disagreements over transfers was the prime reason for mon's sacking too.
As for who id prefer to see, i want to see the team win. I hated Warburtons tippy tappy lets pass it around in or own half football. I was as boring as hell.
Winning football is what i want to see.
In just three sentences you have highlighted a key issue at the heart of our club. The reality is that many of our fans want winning and attractive football.
What is more important to you? Warburton's win record at 40% is better than Karanka (31.4%) but not as good a O'Neill (42%). Which one of these got us closest to promotion? Whose football did you enjoy the most?
Warburton's team was dull as dishwater imo. Everyone kept saying it was 'good' football because the ball was passed about in our own half, but it was completely ineffective in the attacking third.
I thought AK was building something. He'd been backed by the club in his ruthless turnover of players and we were playing what I considered to be a sophisticated type of football. During the early part of last season we were looking strong and I could sense something was building. Then something went wrong internally, maybe in AK's head, who knows?.
Mon's football was basic, but I do believe it would have evolved this season. I'm really disappointed at lack of respect shown to him. It was shabby and Fawazesque in nature.
Best of luck to this new guy. He's going to have to be pretty special if he's going to achieve anything.
