To be fair the Colchester fans warned us about Aidy. The early posts on 606 said that the U's played really well early on and were in play off position but then teams worked them out and they plummeted. Does the story sound familiar? And who does he bring with him but Clive Platt in order to play the same football. Contrastingly, my dad is also a season ticket holder at Watford and saw Aidy's team when they went up - they played a mix of on the floor and in the air and my dad is convinced that Aidy is a good manager.
I think the problem is the resources at hand. Aidy is a good manager but our team is shite, with the exception of a few notable players (like King), and he is limited to what he can play. Not being funny but we're hardly going to become Brazil overnight without a team of Brazilians are we? Asking this lot to play passing football may be a step to far, even with constant training. Aidy is making the best of what he has.
The crux of all this is that without investment in players, nothing is going to change. Unless we get some on the floor players to mix it up with an in the air approach, we are doomed to the same old shit each week I'm afraid.
So I say keep Aidy but please SISU, please please invest in some players or this is a downwards spiral that not even Mourinho could do anything about.
p.s. the previous emails were a bit harsh - there is just city fans on here so no need to try and upset others, we're all here to chat about the club and players, nothing else
