Ultimately, he was clearly out of depth. The budget constraints are a large mitigating factor, but that doesn’t excuse : Baffling interviews, tactical incompetence and poor man management; I don’t think he knew how to get a tune out of the modern day footballer, a bollocking on Humberside only works once in a blue moon. The negativity – especially in leading positions – cost us valuable points at Carlisle, Barrow and Sutton, the blame there for me has to lie with Cox.
Don’t wish any ill towards him and perhaps he will make a decent go of it as an assistant somewhere. Just the wrong bloke at the wrong time here.
