Sorry but you're wrong in what you say.
You may be right that Gale is a bad signing if true. I happen to believe he'd do ok, but that's just opinions.
What needs correcting is the statement 'the club just don't learn'. It's not the club is it, it's the incumbent coach and it always is, if you believe MC and JM and I do, that they do not get involved in signings other than the finances. This player would be totally down the WP and nobody else.
If the blame for Lineham lays with Chester and he seems to get the blame, then fairs fair.
So all those digging at this signing, many of who have defend WP, are contradicting themselves.
Either WP isn't up to the job as I've suggested a few times, or he is, in which case Gale is a WP signing and he should take the heat for it, not the club.
I suppose you could re-phrase the question - why does the club keep hiring inexperienced or failed coaches, which with the exception of Kear and Smith is what we've done in SL. It's not Gale or the club who should be under the cosh should this signing happen and be a failure, it's the coach.
