We know that they inherited dross. Absolute dross. However that still sets a benchmark, a very low one, for them to be judged against. The stats tell one part of the story and the dreadful performances show another part of it. I am not a twitter user so am excluding that here, I am talking about the footballing aspects of the roles. Now look at where the club is going, the Evo stick league, mostly unknown waters for us and we need a manager who knows their way around that level. The previous management team did not meet the criteria. It's as simple as that. I've done enough recruitment to know that you recruit against the criteria required of the role and what the applicants have to meet them.
I wish them both well, I hope they go on to become great managers, Alty is not the right club, and this is not the right time for them to have stayed.
I also think Mr. Rowley will go by the start of next season.
