1. Judging by his presser, I think he was caught off guard, and a little surprised by the result.
2. Depends on whether they think the selection process is right. If so, then it depends on whether Bolton and Co have real coglioni, whether the club is really united, as to whether they will continue with this course, and expect floggings. If they realize they erred, then a change needs to occur.
3. Yes.
4. Depends on their character, history at the club etc. Some will be pissed, some will soldier on and do what they always do.
5. See 4 above.
6. depends on the person - a lot depends on whether or not you believe in the current regime. Some want instant results, some will believe that poor results don't alter the fact that the club is on the right path. Some people also have greater footy knowledge, and may be able to see the less obvious improvements that others cannot.
7. This is an important question for mine. IMO, he has a fair bit to learn. When I heard about the impromptu training session where kids could play kick to kick with the players a week or two ago, on the one hand I thought it was a lovely gesture, on the other it worried me a little because it seemed a little like a publicity stunt that should not really be the concern of the coach. I don't know whether he was directly responsible, but it had his fingerprints all over it IMO. I also wonder whether his interview(s) for the coaching job were filled with the sorts of answers that the panel wanted to hear, as opposed to a "pure" football person. Did they select him because he is very good at interviews ? I wonder.
8. Yes.
9. No one can answer that. I'm sure plenty of great players have stunk it up in their first few games. Admittedly, I can't think of any.
10. Success is best glue available in any team sport.
