Madrid Cobbler

I don't believe it's about just luck and money either, although both play an important part and money particularly at higher levels in the game.
In the end though, at our level, it seems to be mostly about good fits. There are very few managers who are successful at every club they go to. Things seem to click when the manager has and/or creates the right attitude among the players, has a clear system of play and the right blend of players to apply it, and gets a few results (whether by good performances or luck) which develops confidence, leading to more good results. That's perhaps over-simplistic but I reckon that's the essence of it, with or without money. Page seemed to create a negative attitude among the players (re training system for example), JED chose a system that didn't suit the players he had (or even those he brought in) and JFH expected our players to adapt to and change systems of play every match, depending on the opposition and sometimes even up to 3 or 4 times during matches, so there was no clarity, just confusion among the players.
I've said before that I think DA is going to be a good fit and is very much in the CW mold in terms of his attitude and what he seems to be looking for. Fingers crossed that's the case and looking forward to the new season.
