I agree with both sides, but I do think it is pretty fair to ask who the poster believes should have been brought in instead when people slate an appointment.

You don't need to know every applicants, but providing some names gives an idea on the level that person believes should have come in instead, and if ridiculously unrealistic then said person should be SLATED from all sides, with the dislike button turned on just for their posts.

I, for instance, wanted Duff, Lindsey or Clarke, but knew they were highly unrealistic (the fact Duff has gone to Huddersfield shows we had no chance of getting him, whilst Lindsey would be an idiot to have left Crawley for us), so when we appointed Revs I didn't kick off and say we should have brought in other unrealistic people instead.

And as said elsewhere, I am certain that had Revs been top of our list he would have been announced immediately. To me the time it took clearly suggests we tried to get somebody (or somebodies) else and failed, so went with somebody who knows the club and has been heavily involved in the past couple of years of success (as well as some failure previously) rather than taking more of a risk on somebody who has never managed in the FL and who doesn't know the club. I am fine with that.

Edit: And there is also no way on earth that Wallace didn't discuss the feeling of the squad with Pidge and some other senior players. He always does. So those on here saying that all our squad will now be handing in transfer requests, hmm.
