I don't think it is fair to judge his philosophy especially when you have most league 2 players. Even with the limited squad his team has an impressive 53%, and scored so many goals with in the process. I agree with you Mckenna may choose to play...
I don't think the treatment from the new owners that much terrible. Even with the bad results the owners largely supportive. They showed patience by ignoring media and supporters' high criticism.
We need him for the final, unlike previous games he enables us to keep the ball. we can cause the problem by holding the ball and attack city on transition.
