Raking over the Pagan era coals really doesn't serve any useful purpose as just about every position at the club now is very different to then.
And as for the 'entire club not being good enough,' it's way too early to make that call. The TT senior coaching career thus far is measured in games and weeks! We gave your boy 4 years, let's at least give the TT 18 months or so!
The CEO, Head of Footy and the raft of other new-to-the-role folks have barely got their tootsies under the desk... let's at least give them until the end of the year before calling them to the stocks!
Pagan was chosen arbitrarily - you could nominate any of our coaches over the last 2 decades and the answer would be the same. And the most critical and important voices at the club have not changed since Pagan - by which i mean power brokers and other influencers with deep pockets. And compare our board to Essendon's. Looks like a cheer squad in comparison.
I'm not calling anyone to the stocks - simply stating historical fact.
And Bolton was given 3 1/2 years.
