This is a good point for discussion.

I think the fan base would be more chilled out, because we had won the big one, so some of the short term angst about why have we spent all this money and never won it, would have gone.

Also being the coach to deliver our first GF would mean a certain section of the fanbase will always be on board, just like TS had his bitter-enders like me, who were still on board with him when we were in the bottom eights, or a certain section of the Liverpool fanbase forever reveres Rafa for winning the Champions League.

But for me the calculation about whether the coach is the right one or not isn't about giving a reward for past achievements, it's about whether the coach is better than the next best realistically available alternative, in terms of taking the club forward.

So if the other options are all crap, we have to be really dire, to get rid of the coach.
If Craig Bellamy or someone is available wanting a "fresh challenge" in the UK, then you have to be pretty sure about Price regardless of what he has won in the past.

And most importantly never fall in to the trap of just taking the punt on 'change' when you don't know what change involves, eg "why not make a change, it can't get any worse". It can always get worse. Or "we've done well, but we need someone different now to take us to the 'next level'". Hudds did this with sacking Paul Anderson. Hows the next level coming along?


This is crucial in the recruitment of a coach, or players. TS if not top of the list was certainly very close to it, I'm not sure about SP when he joined, but i doubt he was top of the list. We also had to be patient and wait for TS to become available. However, when you look back at Steve Anderson and David Plange, we are in a far better place than I think we realise.
