Most of those changes have been because we've appointed the wrong one's or not supported them well enough in terms of getting the right players. Hopefully both of those points are rectified in the coming weeks and months.
I'm not keen on bringing in a new manager in the summer. You lose the opportunity of the new manager having a look at the players and making better choices for the retained list and positions that need strengthening.
"Once again, it smacks of management by gut instinct, rather than having any concept of a long term plan"If a long-term plan was actually in place I doubt it would include finishing 18th in the table with half-season long relegation form and the HC showing no semblance of football nouse in setting up the team week by week thus putting the club in danger of relegation out of the League. Should planners stick to the plan regardless? Surely intelligent people must be shrewd enough to recognise when things haven't gone as planned and review and change the plan based on new information.

You lose the opportunity of the new manager having a look at the players and making better choices for the retained list and positions that need strengthening.Legend has it that Grant McCann watched all 46 games of our 2017/18 season on video in preparation for his interview. His interview! With no guarantees of getting the job. He then explained in detail where we were lacking and what he would need to turn us into a competitive team. He adapted his usual tactics to accommodate the players we had. Imagine that?! Adaptability! That level of dedication, flexibility, tactical nous, ability to spot and nurture talent and WIN is just what we need. It doesn't have to be Grant McCann, just someone with those attributes.
Did they actually say DS will be given the funds or the manager will be given the funds, I honestly can’t remember

Therefore, he will be given the opportunity to move forward next season with the additional resources provided by Terry."

Perhaps nothing more complicated than the preferred candidate was spoken to weeks ago and preferred to come in closed season to avoid being tarnished by the shambles of this season.
