They are like politicians being interviewed when they would love to tell the whole truth about their party’s new policy on parsnips or whatever.
Unfortunately, stepping out of line will anger the whips who will then ensure their deselection and months/years of misery and persecution up to that point.
Consequently, they utter platitudes and desperately attempt not to say anything meaningful.
I understand what you’re saying BUT Nigel Adkins always managed to leave you feeling positive & upbeat no matter how bad the defeat and the size of the challenge when competing in the Championship. Keith Hill could offer us some of that sort of positivity – delusion if you like – but we’ve had nothing of the sort. We all know it’s going to be a terrible season again but come on Keith, put a little sugar in the pill!
I still think that the ‘if necessary’ with regards to the mid-season transfer window was critical and he was left zero chance of rescuing us.
Secondly, I think he did precisely the right thing trying to use ‘dead season time’ to blood loadsa youngsters and let ’em experience what it’s really like at the sharp end.
I think dismantling the squad that had played Oldham off the park and which had a modicum of potential was an odd move, especially seeing as we had a perfectly decent chance of staying up at that stage. What we saw towards the end of last season will, in my opinion, scar the club for years to come.
