Just a differing on opinions that's all. At least we agree on some parts. Of all the managers I blame NA the most, the players got away with murder IMO when it came to a lack of blame aimed there way. Albeit can't of been easy with all the chopping and changing at managerial level.
However as you say, Hardy was wrong about Kewell , wrong about Ardley and IMO wrong to sack Nolan after only 5 league games no matter how disastrous the start was that season. I wouldn't of appointed Kewell , a bit too left field for me but every appointment is a gamble
But that is too many mistakes from just one man, not to be the clear main reason and person responsible for relegation.
Even if you ignore the reckless spending on players, that put the whole club in danger of going bust. Ignoring that potential tragedy for us fans, on the managerial hiring and firing he got it badly wrong multiple times.
Like I said before we will have to agree to disagree and tbh it doesn't matter now as the damage has been done. Clearly.
Sad times
but now we must and can be positive about the future
