Taken in isolation Brunts comments would seem fair.
However as Standaman points out, the same thing has been said about the last 5 managers / head coaches, maybe just maybe it isnt the managers thats the problem.
Its the reason i dont believe our squad is the best in the league other than on past reputation, other squads are younger, hungrier and want to learn, our players are older and seem to have a bit more of been there and done that attitude.
When things pickup the players talk of how they love the new system, it happened under Pardew mini revival too (6 games i think that lasted including the FA cup?!) but soon as things dont go to plan and they have to graft to turn it round it seems they dont want to change or cant change, either way its a mentality that now has to be stopped.
I have never been more desperate for this club to not be promoted as it will give a better chance of moving most of these players on, i think one of the only things that will get my interest back as a fan is a complete revamp rather than players deciding what works.
I hope Jimmy Shan draws the next two games, that way his reputation stays in tact which he deserves because he is a good man and good coach. It also means he would be unlikely to get the job full time as if he wins both i could see some of our bandits, i mean players, thinking if he does well, we get him the job, we can have another 12 months of this easy life, can just see a little group of them paying Jenkins a visit, supporting Shan for manager with a couple of wins under his belt and Jenkins thinking well its a cheap option and means we have a manager!
