If Not BB, Who?

Paul, that is a massive call.
How would you know that?
It is simply your opinion.

He is either the best person for the job or he isn't.

So what's wrong with a massive call ? The whole rebuild is a massive call. Is a strong opinion less valid than a weak one ?

Supporters of all clubs are very jumpy and very reactionary, and whatever expertise they bring to discussions occurs after the fact. And I include myself in this. One week Buckley and Dimma were both gone, now they're the bees knees. One week Bevo is the ants pants - now after 2 ordinary seasons, the Dogs are mid table battlers, and Bevo looks like a mid table battler. This week, Fagan is the greatest, Bolton is the worst. If we win our next 5, and the Lions lose the next 5, then the coaches swap status. And on it goes. The past is only partly relevant, because any opinions based on that are too late.

We need some real expertise to see the future, based on successful clubs, based on precedents, based on analysis etc. Not just black one week, white the next.
