Cape Town RoyalDenver RoyalLower West BT must have been on thin ice after Stam's underwhelming second year. Particularly as it must have been his influence that saw McD get sacked. The owners most likely accept that Clement needs time and a fair crack. Little point in churning managers.
You say that, but you are fine with ‘churning managers’ if you don’t happen to like/rate them? Churn em if it suits you.
Last season was a mare, coming off 3rd place. Who deserves a ‘fair crack’? The more experienced Clement is coming off nothing, yet ‘Keep Clement, come what may, whatever the outcome, that’s fine by me’. You advocate logic and long term strategy, save for happenstance of your own particular personal preference for that particular bloke at any given time. If we ever hired Warnock/Pulis would you say same? You couldn’t get much more organic than Stam was.
Not sure what ice BT was on last season, since we finished 17th/19th years prior (which, you rarely mention).
Sounds to me like BT left (as many have done) because of Gourlay? Sooo, Gourlay better be da man, and have things right. If he doesn’t, we’re up the creek without a paddle. Or maybe, he’s just a hatchet man, doing a job,. And, he’d get one again.
I'd like to see someone take a hatchett to our medical team that can seemingly never get a player fit once they are injured. That has cost us dear in the last year or so..
Yeah, well at time that was Stam's fault, and his training methods. He was young, 1st year mgr. He had a go, but was questionable appt by club at time, and I said so. Good 1st season, bad 2nd.
We are where we are, good mgr would see us out of this.
