I can’t decide TBH, on one hand I agree with some of the comments in the OP, on the other things could have been done better since the takeover. I would also add I seem to recall a lot of people at the time thought the transfer window was OK and all we missed out on was a keeper.
I think for me if JM had come in and stuck to a plan he believed in (see what I did there ��), he perhaps wouldn’t be getting such bad press but constant changes doesn’t instill confidence.
