MON has had a few games where we have played well, so we can do it.
Karanka had us playing very well at times against the top teams before it went wrong.
Therefore based on the above, it is NOT the squad, it is not that the players are not good enough. Yes we have a shed load of mediocrity but there are 18 players there good enough for a promotion challenge.
The issue is we are not sticking with one system, backing a manager and letting him get on with it. I believe MON can build a side that gets results and plays well if he is given time. Problem is on the available evidence he wont get it. Karanka would have done it too and possibly so would Warburton. All of them have made some pretty ropey aquisitions but so did Cloughie.
MON has had a mediocre strart, we are playing some awful stuff. So did Karanka last season, 7 games without scoring if I remember. Do you want Billy Davies back? He started badly too and if any of you witnessed some of his away performances they were beyond miserable. For comparison Farke finished 14th with Norwich last season.
Want a quick fix Mr Marinakis? Well you can hire Jorge Mendes and his best mate as manager and bust FFP by miles, that does seem to work. What you cant do is try to do that half arsed, buy some unproven talent and a few loans then blame your manager when it doesnt work straight away.
Let MON do his stuff even if it isnt too pretty right now, change what we doing and trying to rebuild on a budget will continue our cycle of failure. Sheffield Utd have put a club legend in charge too and let him get on with it. For my money our squad is better than theirs as it stands, People would have palpitations on here if we had David Mcgoldrick in our team, Seems he does have ability after all. I wouldnt be surprised if Swansea are challenging at the top next year but only if Potter is allowed to do it.
The top 2 clubs in the Championship have managers who have been allowed to develop and shape their teams how they want to play. For me thats the best way to be successful.
