I'm starting to come round to the idea of giving Big Dave a chance. We say we need experience, but what good has that done us so far this season? We say we want a fresh approach but ignore one that's staring us in the face.
I think the only reason that we are not clamouring for Big Dave to get the gig is that we are terrified that he may fail. We don't want to see one of our legend's reputation tarnished.
Question is, is that fair? Why should he be held back? He's a (very) big lad, he doesn't need wrapping in cotton wool.
He knows the club, loves the club and the fans love him, shouldn't that give him one foot in the door? Who else fits that criteria? McInnes? Potter? Neither have anything like Darren Moore's affinity with WBA.
We keep saying we should bring in someone new but they MUST keep him on to continue his development. What if that's not what he wants or the new bloke wants? What if it happens but the new bloke does a great job, how long does he wait in the wings? Does he have to leave to get experience somewhere else, in the hope that one day he can come back?
We could be guilty of not seeing what's right in front of our noses so, I say, if he wants it, he gets my vote!
