Maybe but surely anyone could see Webster was not head coach material after he basically destroyed Trinity in 2015 and he had all the authority and power he needed.
The problem with most SL clubs, Chairman and fans is they don't give coaches the chance to learn. There is no degree in coaching, your not born to it, its an aquired skill. Of course CC would make mistakes and go backwrds before going forward but considering he got you to Wembley (someting he's failed to do with us) he was worth sticking with.
perhaps sometimes we all need to big up and admit we got it wrong about someone. CC seems to have learned a lot, even in the last two years he seems noticeably more relaxed. To early to tell whether he's the absolute real deal but he's doing OK.
I broadly agree in principle. But it'd had gone beyond that point with Chester, and it'd have bordered on cruelty to keep him and rub his nose in what he'd done. He needed a fresh start and seems to have seized his second chance. Don't forget, he wasn't sacked.
Wembley was very much very much a double edged sword for him. Yes he got us there, but his focus on enjoying the occasion was (paradoxically) likely a contributory factor in it being such a miserable experience. Nobody could have anticipated the extent of Dixon's second half meltdown, in fairness.
The other frustration about Wembley is hearing from Peacock how the Leeds team got together and determined to put us to the sword. Fair enough, that was their job. But to then see him seemingly bring none of that ruthlessness to his role at Rovers was dispiriting. Fair play, he offered his resignation and maybe, like Chester, has learned lessons too. But we just can't keep being the place where people learn from their mistakes. That is why Sheens' stock is so high, IMO - he's got a tough job, but we know he's not naive.
