Hardy finished 16th in his first L2 season (Reedtz 14th), 2nd season Hardy finished 5th (we're currently 5th), so it's absolutely like for like so far, based on what actually matters, the league table. Whatever Hardy did behind the scenes - having taken on a fire-fighting situation himself - and whatever the bros are doing.... more or less two seasons in L2 - the end product is virtually identical.

MKD finished 4th last season, who thought they would be where they are now? I'm not anticipating a relegation battle next season if we don't go up, but I wouldn't be dismissing the prospect of a fight against the drop as the howling of a lunatic either. The club is currently not in a good place and things could go south very quickly.
Could you elaborate on your last sentence? In what way is the club currently 'not in a good place'? I presume you simply mean in a football performance sense over the last few matches?
