To be fair, most in the media are saying it was the right call.
They are then asking whether others also need to shoulder the blame.

For mine, I think the questions about the Board are fair but not because they backed and then sacked Bolton. Boards need to be able to fire coaches without their own positions being questioned because of what turns out to have been a bad appointment. Otherwise, they just won’t fire them.
I don’t know either way about how good the Board is or not but I do note they have pretty much transformed the admin and esp football department at the same time as SOS & Co have turned over the list.
And SOS has done a pretty good job transforming our list - there are hardly any players he has got rid of that I am that upset about. We made reasonably good trades for Tuohy, Gibbs and Henderson.
The only query for me is about whether he could have replaced them with better options. Personally, I think it was worth it to give previously highly regarded juniors another shot to see if we could find a gem. Yes, a few more seasoned players would have been good but then again, we still have Murphy, Kreuzer, Docherty, Simpson and Thomas as well as Cripps.

I’m hopefully that Teague can give them the freedom to play and that whoever the next coach, he is able to get the best out of them. Because I think it’s a pretty good list.

I can't help but feel SOS and Bolts had a somewhat strained relationship.

This moment reiterated that for me.

Really good interview with Docherty on RSN when talking about what Teague will bring, which I took as a reflection of what Bolton’s shortcomings as per the playing group might be.

Too many meetings
Too much strategy
Overly defensive for 4 years without a transition once the players had learnt this to also start incorporating a more attacking style into the game plan.

The whole thing is worth a listen. Good luck and get back out there Doc.
