But all this might be immaterial now.
Hourihane seems to have walked through the door - and because he has a recognised name in football - the club is allowing him to throw everything including the baby out with the bath water.
Recruitment changed back to managers bringing in their mates and old journeymen - and change of formation to a 433 which will obviously alter the playing style.

All in all back to short termism - which has been tried and tested time and time again and proved not to work.
It?s just desperation on the part of the directors.

Patrick came to understand short termism in football - and that?s why he changed it.
What on earth are you on about Nudger ? , this thread is a discussion about last saturdays cup final , why are you continually trying to turn it into something else ? as I have said earlier you keep having a pop about previous and now present HC"s at Oakwell , give it a rest , you say you want debate then debate last saturdays cup final , it is really not that hard .
