You mean rumour has it Hardy wanted a change of style?
If that's the case, he is totally to blame for the mess we're in now. As I've said before, the main reason for the catastrophe of last summer and this season is that bizarre 180-degree change in style and tactics, from an effective, hard-to-beat, direct team to a fancy ball-playing one - which we all know hasn't worked. It seems to me that last year's team was the way Nolan would naturally set a team up. It mirrored some of the teams he played for under Big Sam. I still can't quite believe Nolan would willingly rip up everything he knows and everything that has been successful to start trying to play like Barcelona in L2.
Nolan played that style all his career and made a good one at doing it, he was playing with better players though. Did he know how to coach a passing team...NO.. and yes good passing teams CAN get out of this league, that has been proved. Hardy should have kept out of the football side of things but he can't help himself, he will take us down.
