She is quite a piece of work. She plays both sides without ever confronting her conscience when doing so. Wasn't she the biggest critic of the club when there was talk that he would be sacked. Now that things are looking brighter, she plays the other side!
That's what these so-called "experts" do. They'll just sit back and point the finger from their "haven't played a game in my life" armchair at everyone and everything, claiming they know what people in the game are doing right or wrong and telling them how to do their job. Then expect us all to forget when they flip-flop and talk about how great these people are when things go right for them.
Why people pay attention to what people like Caroline Wilson, Patrick Smith and Mike Sheehan is beyond me. They're just hypocrites who know how to pull a good hypothetical out of their arse and think they're better than everyone. They're as bad as politicians, and thus the only comments I'll read are by those who have actually been in those trenches and fought those battles.
I'll never forget the time when Patrick Smith was calling for Parkin's head when he was coaching, and Parkin went at him on-air going on about how bitchy Smith would get if he criticised the way he did his job, and showing him for the gutless prick that he is. Naturally Smith was speechless on air, but was more than happy to write a diatribe about Parkin the next day going on about how he was "inhibiting the people's right to know" by criticising journalists and all that shite. They can dish it out but can't take it.
