Better to have someone good for a short time, than plod along with someone other clubs think aren't good enough.

yeah, because that has worked an absoulte treat for us since SR came in. 

Joe Sheilds - 5 months then he was off

Jason Wilcox - 8 months then he was off

Spors - 8 months, looks to be off. 

Completely unsustainable for the figure head of our club in a footballing respect to change as frequently as that. Its absolutely no wonder we're a complete basket case.

Jumping to conclusions to say "looks to be off"

Also bizarre to deliberately pick weaker candidates for a job than you need to.

There's probably a "fallacy" in your reply. Not sure which one though, will leave that to MLG to clarify.

Yes or no. Do you want Saints to sign staff the top cubs won't want to sign in the future?

Made the question more pertinent to our situation for you...

P.s. there are pros and cons of both scenarios, for what it's worth...

In many new jobs it's going to take you 5-6 months to get to the point where you're really delivering. The first couple of months are about figuring what goes where. Then where you can add some value. And, only then, can you start to make serious headway. Our recent DoFs have stayed long enough to turn the dog's arse they inherited into a bigger dog's arse then fucked off.

I want saints to sign staff (and by staff we mean the man setting the strategy of the club), who stay in a job long enough to actually make a difference.

You have avoided the question by answering something I did not ask. It was a yes or no question.

In fairness to the club I think they are trying to do that. 

They are not intentionally appointing people that they know will leave after seven months.
