Whatever he may think privately he can hardly say publicly (well, perhaps not until he departs anyway). He has to try and be seen to be positive rather than just throwing in the towel.
Hill is a proven manager. His stats over nearly 2 decades don’t lie.
We have had other experienced managers – Robins, Alexander, Hurst etc – all of whom have been successful before and after leaving the club.
That paints a picture and illustrates the the real root cause.
It comes down to budget directly affecting the quality of the players any manager can bring in – pure and simple.
When you have a sub standard budget you end up with a sub standard squad.
That’s what we’ve got.
We can critique Hill’s tactical nous on match day and we can question his signings – but the reality is he’s been forced to rearrange the deckchairs on a sinking ship on a weekly basis because he hasn’t received the support needed to be able to bail it out.
We’ve got a non league budget and a chairman and executive management team who have overseen that – and whose own ability level will be ‘well suited’ shall we say to non league football – which is exactly where we are heading.
Whether we had Hill or Jurgen Klopp in charge – the end result would be the same.
