Really?
So we have a manager who built a pathetically unbalanced squad of unfit, injury prone players, some of which were also well known to be difficult to work with, and the same manager also failed to even fill the available squad places.
We start the season, with most of those injury prone players injured, and players who were known to be difficult to work with, now apparently not fancying it, and not being mentally right to play, and our manager also alienates two players, who have seemingly been fit and available for selection.
The same manager and his current coach have had us playing awful for the first half of the season, hovering just above the relegation zone, and looking like a league two side, bereft of confidence and any form or ideas.
The same manager then repeatedly blames bad luck, and every man and his dog, for all of our injuries and failings this season, whilst arrogantly refusing to take any of the blame himself, as usual.
Then we bring in a retired former coach, who takes training for a number of weeks, which immediately coincides with an upturn in our form and results, and we now sit in 12th place, 5 points off the playoffs.
But you think everyone at the club should get the praise for this improvement, including our manager and coach, who up until our former coach returned, were steering us towards certain relegation, with some of the worst football seen here in years?
I had no idea Faz had returned, and was now taking training, but now I know this, I think it's pretty obvious who deserves the lion's share of the praise, and it's only strengthened my opinion, that our current manager, and the backroom team that he has assembled, are not good enough.
You may think it obvious, but that doesn't necessarily make you right.
I don't believe that every fault you (very reasonably) mention is solely the fault of the manager. How can it be? What of the recruitment team? What of the chairman? What checks did the club have in place to prevent the things that you suppose happened?
I'm no blind supporter of KR but things are never as black and white as some would paint them.
