But a manager like this doesn’t just become cr@p inside a few week.
So what caused that ?
It’s up to us fans to point out what might have caused that.
IMO - Schopp or any other manager would not have been able to succeed with the foundations that have been laid down by the owner of the club - Paul Conway.
The only reason why I believe Schopp should leave now is not because he’s a bad manager - it’s because I don’t think he is able to salvage the confidence that has drained away from the players.
That’s no fault of Schopp - the fault lies in the catalogue of events that’s occurred at the club leading up to his appointment e.g.
Murray leaving
Unfit recruits
Throwing last seasons tactics out of the window
A new face at the top may give the players a boost - but it’s going to be a big task.
If I were the directors I’d look at appointing a British manager on a short term contract to try and escape relegation - and in the interim look for a longer appointment.
Chien Lee during the playoffs with Swansea said - the team will be stronger no matter if we win the playoffs or we don’t.
Hasn’t happened has it ?
He needs to ask himself why.
