Quote af="af"Not a flicker of recognition that replacing 75% of your first team squad in three years might be more difficult than replacing 50% of your first team squad, especially considering financial restraints and the lack of youth players coming through. And it's all academic when you have no alternative to offer to McNamara, other than on-off assurances that 'someone' might have been interested or might now be interested in the job.'"
Blah Blah Blah.

The same old "name a better person" argument. Why is it that some people feel the need for an alternative to be named rather than accept an opinion that the present man is not good enough?
Of [icourse[/i replacing 75% of the team is more difficult than replacing 50% of it. Even more difficult when you have a coach with a poor record in regards to recruitment.
However. Lets look at Wigan - the side that faced us a couple of weeks before Nobby left....
Ashton,
Calderwood,
Richards, Vaeliki, Dallas, Orr, Moran, Seuseu,
Higham, Hargreaves, Tickle, Fletcher, O'Loughlin
Subs Wilkes, Prescott, Godwin, Jonkers
and the team that knocked us out of the play offs last season...
Mathers,
Calderwood, Phelps, Carmont,
Richards, Barrett, Leuluai, Fielden,
Higham, Coley, Hansen, Bailey, J. Tomkins.
Subs: Paleaaesina, Hock, O'Carroll, Smith
Interestingly, three players played in both games - it seems that Nobby has dealt with his new broom a bit better than McNamara has done. Especially when you consider what they both inherited.
