I would like to see a new manager coming in. Someone who will buy the type of player that will excite the fans. I know you need a certain balance in any successful team, but we lack guile and we are weak in central midfield. We are neither creative, or defensive in midfield with Petrov struggling to be one, or the other. Milner is becoming a very good player but is he able to be the creative pulse in our team, or does he excel as a defensive midfielder. Again, really, neither one thing or the other.
Up front do we have the out and out goal scorer that every team needs. Carew, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Delfonzo(sorry spelling) do not provide our team with that.
At centreback we have the monsters in Dunne and the Undertaker, but are they the type of quality defensive players that will bring Champions League football to our club. Again, i think not.
As you can see i have concentrated on the spine of our side, the engine room in any team that makes it tick. The players within the spine of our team are not of the type of quality that will push us forward to the next stage in our development.
Our manager has not bought the type of player that Redknapp has at Totters and i think it is time for a change of manager if we are to progress.
Do i think that Martin O'Neill will walk of his own accord at the end of the season. No i don't, but i do think he has taken us as far as he can.
