I don't think we're anywhere near the mess off the field some would have us believe. In fact, I suspect we're probably in better shape than we have been for a long, long time. Granted, I don't actually know this but neither do those that claim otherwise.
If only some of the managerial appointments bore fruit, things would be looking much better and if you blame for Flitcroft, Brown or Ling then you're just being unreasonable. It's true that the buck stops with Power but he's made a much-needed change. Some people chose to moan about that as well, though. Some were moaning about us 'constantly' changing managers even before Wellen's name popped up. What the fuck is he supposed to do?
As for Wellens... It's about time Power had some luck where managers are concerned. I've got a feeling he can do a good job.
This won't be popular, but looking back....
Mark Cooper 2013–2015 - In post for c.2 years, did OK then things essentially ran their course, fans got on his back and Power responded and got rid.
Lee Power 2015 (caretaker) - Short term and a bit shambolic while tried to find someone.
Martin Ling 2015 - -Appointment that was welcomed by fans and seemed a really good fit, went to shit through no fault of anyone.
Luke Williams 2015–2017 - Would never have got the job if the Ling thing hadn't gone tits up, was an interesting and risky appointment, although could be said to address our fans clamour for young upcoming managers, went tits up, fans got restless and sacked, although Power was possibly a bit too loyal in dragging it out*.
David Flitcroft 2017–2018 - Manager who had record of success in this division, given a budget and fucked off at the first availability;
Matt Taylor 2018 (player-caretaker) - Only one game, who knows, filled a gap.
Phil Brown 2018 - High profile and I imagine didn't come cheap, has record of success albeit a while back, allowed to bring staff in and also sign some players, hardly a cheap uninspiring option.
So out of that only 3 have been sacked and in every case at the time when the fans were calling for their head, then immediately slating Power for adhering to their calls.
BTW that's 7 managers in five years (Which is a bit shit but sadly par for the course in modern football), so looking back to the Black/Fitton era when everything was wonderful, that's also 5 years and we had 7 or 8 managers in that time, I don't recall the same level of fuss then?
* Interesting that many berate chairman of other clubs for being too trigger happy in that thread and then berate Power for not being so, its almost like the guy cannot win.
