Yes it would. I'm a big supporter of the owners, but now isn't the time to appoint an inexperienced and anonymous coach as manager. I fear that would lose a large section of the fanbase very quickly, and put Alves under huge pressure before a ball even got kicked.
Maynard was a bit of a gamble but most fans ran with it for a while because they wondered if he might be another Luke Williams. The Maynard project having not worked out as well as hoped, now is the time for a solid, recognisable appointment that the fans can believe in and get behind. A reasonably experienced manager with a decent track record to date.
