However, what I find frustrating is that when Cox was here people, including yourself, were asking what good would sacking a manager do, no-one else can do any better under the conditions of the board. Now Hill is not given the same benefit of the doubt.
You’re right that sacking Cox was one of the few levers available to us at the time. But I think we should definitely question the manager appointment process: when was the last time that the club interviewed for the manager’s position? How do we know we’re doing all we can to get the best person for the job? What criteria are being applied in deciding who the next manager will be?
Your point about “Hill not being given the same benefit of the doubt” is a fair one, you’re right about that. However, 13 points from 23 is an even worse return than we saw under Cox and he’s had half a season now, so it’s a fair sample size, so I think it’s right that questions are asked, as you said yourself.
Anyway, it’s all a bit of a case of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic given our current situation and the way the club has been run over the best part of a decade.
