Quote: vikingsmurf "Unless something we cant yet identify changes over the course of the next four or five months i cant see Betts lasting the first half of next season. Steve O connor is no mug and will not tolerate poop in the top flight for any great length of time. That being said, i think we are certainly heading in the right direction with recruitment and (for the most part) retention so the playing staff are looking in decent shape, its the coaching side of things that is liable to fail. Anything better than bottom would be a success in year one, going on recent years, 8-10 wins will see us home in at least 13th. I think thats a reasonable expection of wins with the squad we seem to be putting together.'"
Sounds a realistic view...I kind of wonder how betts is still there at all given some of the performances this season..my main worry If i was your top man would be that if betts cant cut it in the Championship then matters not how many good players you sign he wont hack it in S/L
if the the coaching methods and tactics are pants,then its not looking too good.
Its all well and good saying we have three years there is no rush, I think if I was a fan I would want us to be reaching for the stars from day 1.
Good luck either way ..
