Isn't Taylor the person who oversaw the journey to where the team now finds itself?

He oversaw the departure of some crucial players - Barlaser, Wiles, Ogbene and - as far as I am concerned - Wood and possibly Harding. The extent to which he had any control over those departures was probably limited but he must take some responsibility for the apparent failure to recruit so as to replace them.

Wood being dropped last season made me very worried about Taylor.

There's talk in this thread about a lack of fight in the team. If that's the case maybe part of the issue is a failure to recruit fighters? Warne took a lot of stick over his 'good person' test, but maybe being a good person included an 'honesty' that would have players running themselves ragged and giving everything they had? Maybe that ethos was lost in what I suspect was an attempt to build a team with a little more individual flare.

If I'm right in my assessment (from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about football) then Taylor must carry a lot of responsibility for where we are and Richardson has to be given time to fix what he didn't break. What other choice do we really have?
