The answer is to appoint a suitable candidate at the time and that would mean doing due diligence on the man given the job, but prior to this week we had no one within the club who was capable of that, list of 1 Fox for Sherwood.
But the reality for a manager is, results based criteria, you need to be able to improve the team as you are collecting points, establish a style of play that suits the assets at your disposal, yes (wink wink) we will get you some bodies in, in January.
Getting rid of one manager maybe costs the club 2 or 3 million, how much to write of the contracts of the following
Gabby, Hutton, Westwood, Richards, Guzan,Gestede, Sinclair, Clark, Cisoko, a dam sight more than 3 million, and that was a 27 million loss announced last week, not a 50 million profit.
May be wrong but that is 21st Century Premier League football.
