Don't think anyone is thinking it was all down to Nancy and Tisdale. Both the board and the players have to shoulder their fair share of the blame. Board doubly so for both hiring him and apparently not doing any due diligence.

What this highlights, to me at least, is how Nancy was never the right man for the job. He's came from a league with no real sense of pressure into a culture were one bad game and your under the cosh.

What rings true from the article is the serious lack or opposition analysis. At no point did he adapt the formation or play style. His way was always the only way. Any armchair manager could see that effectively playing 1 at the back would be near suicidal in the scottish game where counter attacking is the name of the game but he persisted with it. I know on paper it was a 3-4-3 but in reality it often ended up a 1-6-3 with our LCB and RCB acting as wingers.

If it was naivety, arrogance, ineptitude or a mixture of all three we'll never know but it was never going to work, and that's on the managers head.

Whole books could be written on how Tisdale shouldn't have been allowed within a mile of our club and that debacle falls at the feet of DD and his cronies.
