IBs not going to change the tactics as it will be against his philosophy and why the owners bought him on.
Whether the decision is wrong to hire him I think the timing definitely was, as if they think his main skill is coaching, there’s no time to coach and it’s about man management and winning by whatever means with this glut of fixtures. As for who recruited the squad, seems its Ardley now when a lot were saying the owners, truth is it will be a mix.
