First 2 appointments both left for 2 leagues higher - so hubris for sure.
This one though took no account of our newfound EFL status, upward momentum, 11-12K crowds. Ambitious players wanting to shake off non-league and push their careers upwards. They don't need bosses whose career highmarks were the likes of Whitehawk and Aylesbury. And that's not snobbery. Pro football is a very hierarchical, status-driven, ultra-competitive world. Qualifications and credibility matter.
It's a screw up. A massive black mark against Montague probably.
