You must be joking?
While contradictory positions are not published in the Times' events page, it is clear as day that Ellis Short has radically changed direction repeatedly.
Appoints O'Neil, then in a clear move which he knew would undermine the manager, employs the son of an acquaintance, who has never worked at a football club, to buy players.
Sacks manager. Employs Di Canio. Sacks him. Employs Poyet, changes the DOF, sacks Poyet, Employs Advocat, does away with DOF, employs BSA, employs Moyes, employ Grayson, sacks Grayson, employs no one.
The goalpost are in a state of permanent flux. The last three managers have all said that the club was saying one thing to then while doing another. Advocat, Poyet, O'Neill and Keane have also all intimated as much, as if we couldn't see the evidence of it ourselves.
The chaos is endemic. It cannot be sorted out until the entire regime has changed.
It's not so much that the goalposts are moving. It's more that we don't seem to have any. Rather some vague, amorphous things up there in the fog. Now you see them now you don't
Any manager willing to work here would be mad or desperate.
