Why must it be a "lack of ruthlessness", a "lack of toughness" that is always identified as the reason why teams fare poorly ? Surely by now this is a cliche devoid of any serious analysis ? A team loses more than they win, therefor they must require a tougher coach, a harder training schedule, more rants, more sprays, and this will lead to greater success ?
It is not a given, nor is it even known, that this is what is needed. Pagan, Malthouse, Eade and I''m sure other coaches have endured either entire careers or phases in their careers when this isn't the issue, and when such an approach has backfired.
Quite apart from this, how do we know exactly what Bolton says or does behind closed doors ?
