WellI was holding off my negativity, but after the way this thread has gone...
Results are ultimately irrelevant to someone getting the job. Nilsson having a stellar run as caretaker didn't necessarily make him the right choice as boss, and we plunged downwards. Sure, we brought in Jim Smith, but that suggested the manager didn't have the strength of character to stand up and do things his way. Thorn did alright after replacing Bothroyd too. Neither were the right choice long term in my view.
What's more important is infrastructure, player spotting, integration of first team and aspirants, and a system. Much of that we can have no opinion of, but there seems little in the way of a match plan that can react if it isn't working - that's the key.
So recent results have bought time in finding the right candidate, is all. That right candidate may or may not be Venus, but it shouldn't be him just because we've won a couple of games when players are shaken out of their stupor with a need to impress a new(ish!) face.
