I've wondered if the 'hipster' appointments are increasingly who we can get rather than who they want.

Didn't Jesse Marsch say something about them not having a clue back in 2023?

If that's true, no wonder nobody decent wants to get near the club.

I'm not sure that is true. As i understand it, Semmens was pushing hard to appoint Marsch and return to a famailr "red bull" style. However, we'd only give him 6 months, essentially because we knew semmens was off and Wilcox would want his own man in a completely different style (i.e possession based). 

I'm absoultey not willing to die on the hill that SR are perfect model owners. They've got a lot wrong, but they have been royally shafted by the DOF's they've appointed. 

The fact they've all gone on to top clubs would suggest that they've done something right - or Chelsea / United are incredibly stupid.. I guess both could be right.
