Man with money and no football brain plays football manager. Problem is the fall guys are club legends. It was a risk with a full squad, a threadbare squad with no rocks and a dodgy keeper is a worry.
Swann has apparently learnt lessons but it feels like we’re back on the same ride.
It’s a real world problem we have a boring negative manager. He has neutralised the clubs best assets – assets worth a lot less under his tutorship. All I want is Russ to go back to U23’s – if that is still a thing – and a young attack minded manager with good connections (Mcsheffrey) to come in. Prize money for finishing 6th or above a lot better than 23rd or 24th. I get we have to be frugal but settling with a negative manager who is easy to play against isn’t being careful with money, quite the opposite.
It’s the perfect storm – Wilcox in charge with a young side with severe shortage in all defensive positions. If we are going with youth then we must have a different manager. I can stomach the risk of going down cheap youth option – I cannot stomach Wilcox in charge in any scenario.
Clinging on to the ‘he got us promoted’ tag line isn’t going to wash. You are only as good as your last game – Cods at home, 5 at the back, wingers neutralised. Embarrassment.
