Not getting into which manager is better but it does make you wonder how the other recent managers would have fared with what we are led to believe is more player budget support.

Let’s face it if we’re paying more on wages than this is worrying as results don’t justify it ! I imo players should get large win bonuses if this is what encourages results .

Of course the budget increased, we’ve signed all these players without really anyone leaving. So every one of these players are due to an increase in budget. Our wage bill must be massive with the number of players we have, if McCann can reduce the numbers next season whilst still having the same wage bill the squad will be much smaller but full of better quality

Which is down to the manager. It's also one that lets more goals in. Which is down to...
McCann's main problem is that he inherited a squad with a rump of 20-25 players that were going nowhere. That reflects the legacy problems dating back to Wellens of poor recruitment and retention. Unless and until he can sift through that lot then we won't make meaningful progress. Plus he has his own margin for error to consider; some of his recruits haven't cut the mustard so far.I've always said that he needed three windows to make an impact and I haven't changed my view. In the meantime, success would be staying up, regular demonstrations of defensive solidity and creation of some sort of momentum to take us into next season.
He has, but the majority of the squad is still players that were signed when we were signing poor players. The recruitment this year has been good and the new players are significantly better than the ones we had.
Blind faith in McCann and all he brings to the club is what’s at the root of this . He has brought in players , staff and has got the backing of the owner . Only time will tell if this faith is to rewarded but how long will it take before even McCann sees that it’s not going to plan ?

We've gone backwards in the last 2 months. Apart from 40 ISH minutes against Mansfield and a first half against MK. Other than that we've been as poor as last season of late.
