I think all but the most delusional realise that the appointment of Jimmy Dean was a *huge* mistake. He can barely string an articulate sentence together, drops players at a whim, blames players in post-match interviews, and has the tactical genius of a badger playing chess. Nothing about Jimmy Dean makes me think he is the man to turn the failed performances around, and going into next season with him as manager will likely be a waste of a pre-season.
Combine that with how Hilton announced the appointment of Jimmy Dean, the closure of the academy, the numerous U-turns, and worryingly you have someone with a history of making bad decisions. Some might say that the U-turns show he is listening to the fans. Whilst there is truth in that, you must wonder what thought and planning went into those decisions in the first place.
I’ve said this before, Hilton got off to a promising start with the payment of the tax bill, keeping the club afloat, and funding the squad. But since then, things have gone downhill faster than a shopping trolley full of fat kids.
For me, the jury is still deliberating, awaiting the ground purchase, and the publishing of his plans for the club.
