A massive part of the defeat today was that their team are simply better than ours. Do you honestly think we could make a sustained challenge on the playoffs with a managerial superstar. I don't.
No, and it's a perfectly fair point. But I'd like a manager who could get the best out of the resources at his disposal. Horrible unwatchable hoofball crap is OK I suppose if it gets you results, but if you lose anyway then seriously there's nothing worse. I can't stand it.
Yes I think some other managers could improve the playing strategy, aesthetic quality and get us more points. Some may not, and some may achieve something roughly similar. However it appears that a few fans are labouring under the delusion that to remove Whitney would instantly allow this team to alight seamlessly to the upper reaches of league one, and beyond.
Not at all, we could be within touching distance of the play offs not leading the league. Some fans appear to be labouring under the delusion that other managers have not done better working under the same constraints of the Bonser regime.
Player wages literally determine league position. It's almost a predictive correlation. I think ours puts us 22nd or thereabouts.
I don't think sustained success in this division can be expected with the playing staff we have. Partly due to strength in depth and cover, partly due to age and experience. Even with the mega manager people will think grasp the chance to manage Walsall.
