If you ask the coach to do the same thing with the squad as the previous coach was instructed to do, would the end result be different.

I wonder if Ryan Mason is instructed to follow a method rather than coach his own beliefs. I will admit, he would have known what he was getting into, but does it work.

Is the club doing the same thing time and again and expecting a different result? Is Mason?s hands tied? There is so much similar to Tony Mowbrays second tenure that it is more than coincidence. It is just a thought.

Link to the initial thread re Nestor.

Without knowing what was said at the interview for the job, it's hard o know. If a manager is taking a job based on how others want him to do it, that could be tricky. If he has a three year plan then it will even out going forward. Although I don't know how much time ANY manager really has into day's world. Many fickle fans will already have their nerves frayed by these latest results and style of play on the pitch.
He needs to learn quickly and make adjustments accordingly. But in fairness we have a younger squad but technically probably similar to last season.
So still think a transitional season finish of around tenth for me is fine but won't hold any water with fans who wand instant success/wins.
Just not going to happen.
