Been an interesting read on here that's for sure ...
The truth is, there's no easy answer and no easy fix. Those simply saying that it's Pay's fault that we're playing so badly aren't looking deep enough. Our club has a whole host of issues that simply won't go away over night, which is why we need some type of stablity for an extended time.
Pay isn't the answer, and I don't think anyone on here is truly saying that he is. No, not even
@Natboy However, all those calling for his immediate sacking ... the only coach that could step into a team like this and make an immediate improvement is an experienced one. Someone who knows what he's doing. What coach of that credentials is available right now?
I hear a lot talking about young up-and-coming coaches, but is throwing them into this pile of shit really going to bring the best out of them? Would it be in our best interest to take that gamble? Yes, anything is better than we're currently doing I get what many of you're saying. Anything is better than what Pay's dishing out.
I actually get it, I really do. Pay has been here long enough to have left some type of mark ... a positive one! OK. He's been hampered by injuries, salary cap problems, issues off the field etc. but I'd still expect him to be able to make more of a difference. What players has he improved? Does the team have a positive identity? A specific way positive we play? These are the basics I'd expect from the coach, but I honestly don't think we can see we can say yes to any of those?
He's not the answer, but the problem isn't that people are saying he is. More that there's really no other option right now. And I honestly don't think there is.
