The writing was on the wall after the Boxing Day defeat, but the timing is terrible. The real issue now is: who is actually available? Unless we can convince a proven winner to take this poisoned chalice, we are just going to hire another 'project' manager like McKenna or Frank (again). The squad is talented but unbalanced. We need a pragmatist who can fix the defense, not another philosopher obsessed with possession stats. If we don't get the next appointment right, we are looking at a mid-table finish for the next 3 years. Grim times ahead.
