View attachment 15476To be fair, I don’t think Phil is contradicting himself at all. His first comment makes the point that although many (including myself) would have preferred SD and MB (possibly along with a third, more experienced coach) as the ‘dream team’, it is now time to accept Mr S’s decision and fully support the returning oracle. His second comment alludes to the fact that neither of the recently appointed assistants are seemingly of the perceived calibre hoped for by many posters to this forum. As regards the observation relating to the new recruitment chief, while the stats may be facts (I’ve had neither time nor facility to check them myself), I’m personally persuaded to give benefit of the doubt to Mr S’s judgement on this one, as, after all, the ascent of the said assistants is presumably the choice alone of our new head coach. Obviously, as with most things in life, time will tell.
