Had LW stayed we wouldn't have made the play offs.

It looks like we're sorting the defense/goalkeeper problems and brought it some good players. I'm looking forward to see what "The Management Team" can do.
I distinctly remember reading LW's history and wondering (on here) WTF made the Reedtz brothers think he was the man for the job. The fact that those numbers were such a poor predictor of his subsequent performance in the role is one of the main reasons I am fairly chill about SM still being in the hot seat after a disastrous set of results last season.

That said, "fairly chill" is absolutely not "very confident he'll succeed". I think he's got a much better side to coach now, hopefully that translates into far superior results. I am going to worry until we're 10 games in and doing well.
