Anyone with any credibility won’t take the job without the promise of serious money to spend in January – which will also mean paying the loan off.
It would be a remarkable sea change for Swann to suddenly reverse tactics which he has employed over the last 3 years and suddenly start spending big again.
As for Cox – I have little sympathy for him because he knew what he was letting himself in for when he came.
That said, he can’t be blamed for our league position.
If the players aren’t good enough as a whole then it doesn’t matter if you have a tactical and motivational genius in charge – you still have a sub standard side.
Any argument that it’s ‘Cox’s side’ is rubbish as well.
It’s a side assembled on the cheap, laughably no doubt with input from our ‘chief scout’.
Cox has played the cards Swann has dealt him – full stop. Whether he played them badly is irrelevant – it was a crap hand and he simply couldn’t win.
