Mick the Re-Builder/Shaper appeared after he had to admit he mis-judged the capabilities of the list and he was looking for a get out of jail card to save his job and try and get an extension, he did start shaping the clubs list by getting rid of players.. some who deserved it and some who didnt...Bolton and SOS have had to fix the list he miss-shaped....IMO.
Mick didn't promise flags. The media portrayed it that way due to his tongue in cheek comments about which games we would lose for the year.
The whole club pumped him up as the messiah, prematurely. It was clear that after a honeymoon period, the players fell into their old roles which saw the previous coaches sacked. Hence my gripe with the players/culture.
Who didnt deserve to go?
Everyone who went IMO went to improve the culture of the club and lift the standards around the club.
