Well he couldnt inspire anyone and he had to be axed anyways ...no matter what your opinion about him was.
I think it's a lot of people's understanding / or rather lack of understanding of the factors at play here that's the problem - the manager bears the whole brunt but actually it's a lot more complex than that
The main drivers for our current predicament are:
- Trying to execute a complete squad overhaul in one transfer window. Not a bad effort but fell a bit short. Will take 1-2 more windows to rectify
- Foreign players take time to adapt
- Being back in Europe - extra games and qualifying games pre season
- Freakishly difficult run of opening fixtures
- Koeman's tactics and man management?? Not so sure this is the biggest factor
- Negative / short termist outlook from the fan base piling on additional pressure to the whole club - definitely.....
