Teague just fell into our lap really and thank god for that. Hate to think what bumbler the rocket surgeons on our board would have appointed had Teague not made it impossible to give it to someone else.
Bolton and Teague are the actors who make the most appearances, but the play isn't really about them. It's about understanding that any club is much bigger than one person, that one person cannot make that much difference, that clubs operate in a dynamic state, with changing values and priorities, and that we must get beyond this tip-of-the-iceberg mentality, where what we see becomes a lazy substitute for a much bigger reality. You would think Pagan and Malthouse were lousy coaches if you only knew their record with us, yet we know this is not the case.
