        Yes but it takes time and a refresh of players. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 15:45:28
        
        needing a massive churn would imply a ridiculously stubborn adherence to a style (NCFC) - Cable Gap Pioneer, Apr 30, 17:52:36
        
        TBF he did vs WBA then had a strop saying he hated the style of play. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 30, 17:58:17
      - 100% this. (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 15:39:14
        
        I suspect they didn't anticipate the bump in the road being results going off a cliff... (NCFC) - Pixelman, Apr 30, 15:49:51
        
        Possibly but the decision then is whether you hold your nerve and stick to your plans or (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 15:57:25
        
        All plans are off once the dressing room is lost (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 30, 16:47:56
        
        Not if you plan to change the dressing room. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 17:16:32
        
        Huh? A lot of those players were ones he brought in. (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 30, 21:42:43

      - You're missing the bigger picture. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 15:41:08
        
        What is the bigger picture im missing? (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 30, 16:58:40
    - Personally I'd prefer not to play a style that suits Duffy. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 30, 15:18:17
    - *two of the top four (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 15:06:17
      - i'm forgetting... (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 16:20:30
        
        Came in with almost guarantee of the managers job (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 16:43:23
        
        I think you have to take these things at face value up to a point (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 30, 17:08:08
        
        So not giving JHT his own back room appointment (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 17:17:16
        
        yep, absolutely; painted himself into a corner as someone mentioned on here today (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 17:50:31
        
        can't also be asking the supporters for patience and then show none themselves (n/m) (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 17:59:19
        
        Definitely, let’s hope he proves himself and signs (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 21:39:36
        
        expression credit: The Gaffer (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 17:55:46
        
        Yep, that's fair enough (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 30, 17:18:49
        
        Maybe they thought at the time that Hoff would do a blinder and get poached by Man Utd (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Apr 30, 16:46:40
        
        Maybe they could take Knapper too (n/m) (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 17:01:52

        so he was backdoored five months into a three year project, ftr (n/m) (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Apr 30, 17:41:53
    - Spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Apr 30, 14:30:43
- I'm confused (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 30, 13:34:43
  - I thought you said I was confused? (NCFC) - Chair_of_the_Bored, Apr 30, 20:26:51
  - its excude making 101....never admit anything. (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 30, 15:30:08
  - he must have had some say on recruitment (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Apr 30, 13:42:09
    - Probably. But his points seems to be (NCFC) - Azteca, Apr 30, 13:44:52
  - Does he mean recruitment could have been players ready (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 13:41:21
    - The sounds from the club were consistently 'transitional' (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Apr 30, 13:42:50
      - Yeah, that makes Zoe Webbers note more odd (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 13:48:05
        
        It *was* a transition season - but with some gateway reviews to tick off (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 30, 15:13:16
        
        Possible they knew he was sacked when she wrote that? (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 15:26:25
        
        If the prog editor sees something that might raise a flag (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 30, 15:22:52
        
        I imagine they just do what they're told. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 30, 15:45:34
        
        Always the best way to run things! (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 30, 16:43:39
  - I think there are few examples where he prioritised youth over experience (NCFC) - Klobo04, Apr 30, 13:38:31
    - Not convinced. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 30, 13:49:41
  - Surely loss of leaders I.e. Hanley , Barnes etc… (NCFC) - loz, Apr 30, 13:36:36
- Any chance of a translation please? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Apr 30, 13:22:35
  - They're all cunts and I'm a genius (n/m) (NCFC) - LittleMouseWithClogs, Apr 30, 16:08:44
  - ... (NCFC) - Klobo04, Apr 30, 13:24:07
    - If what he says about expectations is true, that doesn't reflect well on Knapper / Club (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Apr 30, 13:36:48
      - Fair point on bringing in his own staff as well… (NCFC) - loz, Apr 30, 13:37:48
        
        Is that line aimed at Wilshere? (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 30, 15:41:53
    - Oh look, Jack's "terms of employment" (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 30, 13:25:49
      - Blimey (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 30, 15:33:23
      - Nailed on job for Jack then feels a bit odd.. (NCFC) - loz, Apr 30, 13:33:08
        
        he'll get sacked (n/m) (NCFC) - Tombs, Apr 30, 13:42:05
        
        Not necessarily, I don't think Knapper expected him to (NCFC) - Azteca, Apr 30, 13:41:25
        
        Chances of a Champs manager lasting anywhere near 3/4 years are pretty remote (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 30, 13:55:47
