If you read the post properly Northumbiron the whole point of it was about what you stated in your last line.
Duh! Yes, I know, that’s why I wrote it!
But the title of your thread was “has he gone yet?” Which would suggest that you blame Cox for the current malaise.
What I’m saying is that it won’t make tuppence-worth of difference whether we sack him or not as long as Swann is doing the hiring.
See Ferrite’s post above.
AWG it wasn’t a case of people on here wanting Cox, the popular choices were Ian Evatt and Tim Flowers. More he was accepted as a reasonable appointment because we’d tried just about everything else.
But hey! We could have brought in a well known character with Premier League experience. You know, just like that club down the road. That went well didn’t it?
I wish there was a simple fix but I don’t think there is.
