Football Department Review

[Baggers]

This, IMO, is true, but it's also a big part of the problem. There are no guarantees in anything, but these appointments have to be a lot better than guesswork. Other clubs live in the same random, morally indifferent universe as us, and they seem to be getting these decisions right more often than not. Part of the professional aspect of decision making is to make good decisions that don't turn into problems later, and I'm not convinced we're there yet.

Yep, living with a lack of faith in the midst of major change asks of us trust, and that ship sailed long ago. We can only hope that the ensuing changes gradually rebuild trust. Sayers will no doubt have his work cut out for him selling these changes to some clearly, populist/risk averse inclined, Board members... who will hopefully, FO very soon.
