I like him, I think he'll be a good manager somewhere (and I think he's been a good manager in France already) but I just don't think he's the right fit here. Players doing repeatedly stupid things kinda smacks of them not being arsed because they don't fear the consequences.
I've heard him coaching in French, and it sounds like a different guy to the one coaching in English. Far more assertive and commanding. No idea why that is, but the bottom line for me is that this team needed picking up by its bootstraps just like Ralph did in 2018, and I don't think WS is the guy to do it.
I want him to be, I really do. I'd love to think differently, but I just don't think he's 'the guy', and all the while he's here we're going to tank.
I don't blame him one bit, though. I blame the muppets at the top who think they're more clever than they actually are. We do actually need a Big Sam, Dyche or Moyes type in here now. I don't care about sexy football or 'philosophies'- 4 wins in 50. That's what I care about.
We need a manager who has the nous and the clout to go against the board, fight on behalf of his players and bring results despite the people at the top.
We need new people running the club and spending Solak's money more than a new manager.
