I have no doubt you believe this as you've said it for a decade now.
However, like in the past, it is simply not that simple.
Results now, or results in 3 years.
If you overlook poor behaviour now, it will continue and spread and still be there in 3 years. Now, when wins are not the highest priority, is when you try and weed out the poor behaviour. That was it doesn't come back to bite you when you can least afford it too.
Be that with Everitt, Murphy or anyone else inbetween. Sort it out now!
