I’m forever grateful to him for ending our trophy drought and wish him well for the future. No hard feelings.
The decision to sack him was the right one and it would have been a serious mistake to give him longer in my opinion. The 78 points from 66 games was shockingly bad whatever way it’s sliced up. However, the stand out for me across so many games was the number of times we looked like a side that simply wasn’t coached. It just happened too often. Injuries or not, whatever team we put out (at this level) should look like they have been drilled, coached and have a full understanding of their roles and what is expected. Of course, youth, inexperience and ability all come into play, but the team should at least look like it has been coached.
