Agree. Nobody is saying the W/L is great. Clearly it's lousy. The salient questions are whether things could realistically be any different given the path we've taken, and whether changing the coach, now or at any point in the recent past, would make a difference. I say no. One needs to also bear in mind that changing an entire culture, and an entire club, is a massive task, and takes time. If you believe the hype, we are now doing things very differently from the past. Folks like to zero in on the coach as the cause of our poor performances, but there could be many other factors e.g discord between players, maybe involving WAGS, drugs etc. The possibilities are endless.
I think people need to move away from the "great men of history" theory. It's way more complex than one man. No messiah in the last 20 years has made much difference.
