    Harsh realities

    Realities

    I don?t think Mason will succeed or even can succeed

    He is a coach used to the best technical players and not mid table ageing championship players who lack desire .
    His game pholosophy will be premiership stuff. An example ?

    Playing out from the back at this level with this squad won?t work ? teams get set up against us as we dither our defenders aren?t good enough to make a pass or keep possession unless they go back or sideways and closing them down is a recipe for mistakes

    Mason won?t work because hew has premiership mindset ? the guardiola way- but he does not have the squad nor the transfer budget to change it

    What about a reall moneyball approach?

    Find a coach who believes in attack ? getting defenders to get it forward quickly- try to create chaos in the opposition box.
    Getting fast wingers to make crosses getting strikers to shoot or head or compete and hope for the breaks.

    So I think we should look at the best manager in the lower divisions ? who knows hidden gems at that level- they?ll all want to play for us ? not like ageing or not good enough premiership players. Give our youngsters a chance. Get a team that attacks and excites .Give our youngsters a chance look at the success of our Academy selloffs

    But we won?t ? the risk of failure for the board is too great so it will be a Mason type who knows nothing about championship realities and who has only dealt with technically gifted players.

    It won?t and it can?t work .

    If Nestor is the guy with the stats get him looking at the numbers of the best player in every position from lower leagues or less well paid foreign leagues .

    Hell ?..we could ask Heggem who he rates in his previous league .

    We are going down a classic management consultancy route choosing someone who on paper won?t get you fired but is completely out of touch with our reality.

    I say again Mason or another premier league coach won?t work ? he does not have the experience of the championship and he will not have a way to play that gets us to the playoffs

    At least my suggestion would make for exciting times-

    I will now put on my flak jacket and steel helmet

    I have to admit I know absolutely nothing about Ryan Mason as a footballer or a coach so I would be wrong to say he will work or not work.
    I still think a manager in the mould of Corberan who doesn't give the players an inch would be the best approach or they're gonna ease off like they did last season. Disappointing to finish so far down the division so probably not a lot of confidence from last season to take forward.
    I wait with baited breath.

    “mid table ageing championship players who lack desire” . Where did that come from? Not what I see at all. I know you’re not on your own but I’ve seen players busting a gut every week. Players who would have undoubtedly been in the play offs if Carlos hadn’t of left. I’m not excited over a manager with limited experience though. It all remains to be seen.
