l think the STNR combo was close to getting the job, but there was talk from the club of lots of talk with MM so it sounds like in the end the interview process steered the club away from emotion towards pragmatism and we shouldnt really be hypothesising over it.
after DU we needed an actual manager to save us from certain lessons. MM couldnt save us or the players from listening to ourselves. but he's seen it and is now acting 'without emotion' as he says. but he defo has certain emotions, l can hear it in his voice.
