Football Department Review

[PaulP]

Yep...two games into 2015

It was a...
a) Time buying exercise to deflect criticism.
b) A move designed to force out the coach who didn't want a bar of a rebuild
c) Both of the above.

The effect was it killed the season 2015 as all efforts went into setting up for the start of the rebuild. Players were left uncertain about their future and the coach's future.

Now six years later we've had another 'time-buying exercise' that derailed a season and left the club (looking from the outside) in a bit of a mess.

Six years of rebuild...and this!
And folks say we should be patient. :

Unfortunately, every significant change, be it senior coach, CEO, list, sets the clock back a little further, as each new person or regime remakes the club (or their part of the club) in their own image.

Whether supporters are aggrieved or not, success looks ages away at the moment. If Clarkson or Lyon come in, they will want to tinker, and that takes more time than just sticking with Teague and helping him to iron out the kinks IMO. Although with everything that's happened in the last 24/48 hours, I suspect it's too late for Teague, and if he does coach in 2022, it will be in pretty trying circumstances.
