Not sure why Gavin Wilkinson would give up a high paying job like GM to be a coach down here.
Yeah I didn't agree with the specifics of hiring Elliott or Wilkinson but I did agree with these bits:
 Herbert, who has coached the Phoenix since their inception in 2007, has talked about a "blip year" and a "three-to-five-year plan". That didn't wash with Hay, who said the club's loyal fans deserved better.

"That's not good enough because in one breath you're trying to encourage fans to come through the gate and then in the other, well, you're going to have to endure crap football for the next three or five years.

"With some ambition and fresh ideas, things could actually be turned around pretty quickly," he said.  

Hay said the club's senior players also needed to shoulder some blame but Herbert, the league's longest serving coach, had run out of ideas.

"As a player you can become stale," said the former defender who played in the English Premier League with Leeds United.

"It's like anything in life, if you eat boiled chicken every night, it's going to get pretty dull. They look directionless and rudderless.

"They've gone ragged now and there's not a huge amount of tactical awareness or structure."   

Edit: not exactly groundbreaking stuff I know, I just didn't want people to think that I think Ricki should stay, because I don't!
