Quote BigTime="BigTime"Interesting to read this again Orange. In terms of Coleman I think Skolars fans generally felt he did a decent job with minimal resource. If that is where we are then he may turn out to be a good fit, although it pretty dispiriting stuff for a relaunch which anyone could see coming a mile off. One thing is certain he was not ‘highly spoken of’ on here. The concerns coalesced around his record of losing more than he won year in year at the level below. Well here we are- he still has a little time. Things may turn around a little.
As to the squad DH may have invested very little in which case it may be true he was impressed with what he got. IIRC the issue of the lower league ‘projects’ was brought up on here at the time. Many of us were unable to identify the subtle difference between the lower league projects and the lower league players full stop who seemed to flood in on a weekly basis over the closed season.'"
Of the L1 coaches in 2021, which would have been considered WORSE than Coleman. When appointed he claimed he wanted to lead us back to superleague....
His win ratio in the third tier since 2015 was akin to about 26%.......I am in awe he got as many years as he did at skolars, but for him to get lucky and then sign his crap squad from last year is unacceptable.
As you point out, projects is a luxury we didn't have when relaunching.... He was a bad appointment and when compared to Ward, it makes me think Hughes is winding us down so he doesn't feel guilty about pulling the plug
