He won't, he has to shoulder some of the blame, he is the custodian of the team and the tactics, but you can't just dismiss the first 6 months of the season and the level of recruitment before he came in and pile all of that blame on Morris.
Indeed, there is more than enough blame to go around for everyone to take a share, aside maybe from Austin. He, as far as I can tell, is the only person who seems to have actually performed in the job he is employed to do, and guess what? he's the only fucking one experienced at doing it!
I'm not ready to write off Morris, but his recruitment is another example of bringing in someone with no experience to talk of in doing what they have been asked to do. He may have a bright future ahead of him, he may have that here, and in a season where you have great foundations, maybe he works out for us. This season was not that.
Everything, from top to bottom, is being infected by inexperience. None of them have the immediate talent to overcome that - yes youth can be better than experienced shit, but we haven't employed that, anywhere. We have employed 23+ players amongst whom you can barely put a couple of hundred Div 4 or above games together from.
Our Management teams have never done the job before.
Our Head of Recruitment knew how to hob nob with people at Cheltenham races but the square root of fuck all when it comes to running a Football Operations Dept.
Even our well meaning CEO has never even worked in the football industry and is flanked by a convicted Money Launderer (drug related) who seems to think his time is well spent in Pakistan earning a few quid and an ex-pro's Son who barely had a pro career and seems to have some business in horses but isn't really here, or maybe is.
Our owner knows how to fit out pipes and AC.
None of that should make our current situation surprising.
