Quote RHINO-MARK="RHINO-MARK"The facts are there for all to see an average squad who survived it's 2nd relegation battle in 3 years.
The current SQUAD assembled by GH AND Sinfield as DOR is no better ,the glaring gaps have not been filled more average dross signed to join the already average dross.
Failed Coaching appointment whilst not even giving the appointed Coach his OWN staff and very little say on who stays or goes.
The foundations which we built ALL our success on have crumbled and the blueprints torn up how many FACTS do you all need before question the methods or the people delivering them?'"
There not facts though Mark, not if you are putting all that on Sinfield which you are. You are stating facts over a longer period, and tarring him with the same brush. Only Hetherington should be criticised on that score.
Sinfield has made some mistakes, none more so than over the coach, but he isn’t a magician, and things were not going to change just like that. The bigger issues are ones we are dealing with, which we were burdened with before Sinfield involvement. To be fair in terms of recruitment anyone would have thought the two marquee lads were first class. Signing Donaldson and Albert maybe not so, but they were more squad fillers which everyone needs, and in Albert case a gamble out of desperation, because of the injuries.
The Furner appointment could quite easily have turned out to be a master stroke. It wouldn’t have changed those historical facts you mention, but it would certainly have changed peoples current views.
I am not saying Sinfield will succeed, but I am certainly saying he deserves more time than currently had before such threads. When tied with salary cap, correcting others past errors doesn’t magically get sorted overnight.
