In reality it is a mix of things. I hope we get a top coach in. But he will change some players without doubt. Our team is not top class and hasn't been since 2006.
I've never claimed we have a top class side just waiting for a decent coach to unleash their potential. And saying that the coaching varies week to week is missing the point. What's happening is that the overall coaching and leadership at the club is inadequate, which leads to these up-and-down performances over the course of the season.
A good/great coach gets the best out of the players we have. I don't believe that Radford is capable of doing that. I don't believe he has the nous to address our failings, either in terms of coaching the current squad or recruiting the right players going forward. He simply isn't up to the - admittedly huge - job of turning this club around.
All moot anyway. He won't walk and Pearson has said he won't be sacked. I'm beginning to think that my avatar isn't as ironic as I intended it to be.
