Football Department Review

[PaulP]

I guess there’s two things there, a young coach who isn’t sure enough of himself to say “I’d like a little help here please”
Possibly a club saying “You’re a big boy David, you don’t need help do you ?”
Maybe the club should have been saying “You’ve got a big job ahead mate, who would you like out of MrX, MrY or MrZ to work with you?”

Yes, I tend to agree. Especially when covid hit, it became even more important (I understand clubs had to reduce spending). If he did approach the club for help, and they told him they have no money, then sacking him becomes even more problematic IMO.
