All fair points, but your last question can’t be answered and the answer is we don’t know and never will.
Benji was not given the job based on any merit whatsoever. He didn’t have a barest skerrick of experience.
It was a “mates appointment” because people liked him and he is a club icon.
And it’s not a sensible, commercial or ethical way to appoint a coach or anyone else to an important position.
As for stability, stability for its own sake doesn’t cut it. You don’t continue to persist with a losing coach so you swan about and declare “ yeah, we are coming last, but at least we are stable”
I’d rather us be unstable and off the bottom, I’d rather us be unstable but signing better players and having us play better. So long as there is progress on the park.
And once again, it’s not just a case of whether or not the job was his, it’s also about whether or not Benji should have waited until we had more ducks in a row.
And this “rookie coach” nonsense.
In my respectful submission, Benji simply isn’t coping. That’s where we are.
I think he should probably step down, but stay on as an assistant to a new coach. That would take a lot of courage, to have that solemn yet truthful conversation with himself.
Thanks for your side of it, much appreciated.
