It amazes me that Cox is still here and that people are using a “he’s a nice bloke” defence to argue for keeping him. He had no management pedigree to begin with and has proven that he is not up to the job. Yes he has been dealt a bad hand and we can’t expect him to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear but neither did we expect him to make it into a mouldy pork scratching. He is as under qualified for the role as Peter Swann is to run our club.
And it’s the last statement that will make the sacking futile anyway. All of the evidence demonstrates that Mr Swann and his board do not have the collective competence required to make the right hiring decisions to run a successful football club. If he had the self-awareness and humilty to accept that then he would not assume the “expert” role for the next appointment. I can’t see that happening and I’m expecting another “nice bloke” duffer who will work for peanuts to come in.
