Agree 100%.
There is something fundamentally wrong at the Blues.
I have no idea on Teague and if he is a good coach or not. While I am not happy from outside perspective, I reckon you really need to be inside the four walls to have a great understanding of what is going on.
Saying that however the decision to hire Teague is one that baffles me. Under Bolton it was clear we had development as the number one focus. Samo, Dow and co playing midfield. E.Curnow half forward flank and Murphy on a wing. Development was clearly before wins.
They sack Bolton and Teague gets the gig and the focus changes to wins. Curnow and Murphy spend more time in the middle.
We win more games. No real surprise in hindsight. No issue with sacking Bolton but the knee jerk reaction to hire Teague without going through the process of interview other coaches boggles my mind. What was the rush? It's not like he was in hot demand?
We tend to be in such a rush. The decision to recruit Williams on superstar money looks to be another.
It's not just the football department I would be looking at.
