Exactly this. Both Mowbray and Beale knew the score when they joined, so have no right to criticise at all. If you don't like it, don't sign up in the first place. At least Neil had the right to complain, as this changed when we were promoted, starkly.Can we just not hear the truth from someone please?
Mowbray and Beale both took the head coach job knowing what the score was with the so called ‘model’ yet both have made clear, if veiled, criticisms of it.
A strong head coach wouldn’t put up with a situation he didn’t agree with and maybe we aren’t getting strong individuals wanting the job because of this? Maybe the people responsible for the decision making are scared/wary of people who will question them and want more of a say in policy and recruitment?
We can’t keep appointing yes men.
In reality, what it is, is a deflection tactic. They don't have a problem with the model, they are just using it as an excuse when they are failing. Funny how the model never got mentioned when Mowbray was doing well - it was only when he struggled that it became an issue. But it's easier to blame something else than accept you aren't up to the task given to you.
