Football Department Review

[PaulP]

PP....in any big business, as soon as there's rumblings and division between leaders etc, someone's job becomes untenable. And history shows it's usually the senior coach that gets the @rse....it's a lot easier to move one bloke on than it is half a dozen or so who don't/can't work with him....especially if they're "senior players".

No doubt that's true, but the key phrase in your post is "it's a lot easier to move one bloke". Not the correct solution, not the potentially hard but fair and correct solution, just the easier solution. And there's the problem right there.
