I will repeat the comments I made many,many months ago when this "don't be horrible to poor Chris, he was given a dreadful situation" began.Behind-the-Gulls wrote:
He engineered himself into the job. He did not "inherit" Alan Knill's sqaud - he chose to accept the job with them in place, the word inherit suggests he received (money, property, or a title) as an heir at the death of the previous holder. He did not inherit, he accepted. IF he did not complete suitable due diligence and research on who his players were, what contract lengths were left, how much the players were earning AND what resource he would have to use if/when appointed. Then he has failed in the first requirement of a Manager ......to assess the requirements of the role and the available resources to achieve the requirements BEFORE accepting the bloody job. No good bleating about lack of this and that (money) and how the resources are not up to the task (players) after taking the money.
IF, he was misled and the Board have reneged on promises made, be it money, or players, then I apologise to CH, but there has never been any firm evidence that is the case.
