He inherited a team of players in the last years of their contracts, who were simply not interested last year. Subsequently they were all released and Cox was allowed to bring in his own men, as long as they didn’t cost anything. The problem isn’t Cox, it is the asset stripping Furher who is blaming the players, the manager, the staff and the fans. Everybody is to blame except the one who is (and has been) totally responsible.
To summarise. I have lost count of how many managers have been fired in the last fifteen years. A knee jerk reaction that solves absolutely nothing.
