Ok, people taking me too literally. I just meant that simply because he is the coach doesn't mean that everything he does is necessarily the best thing that could be done. The argument that he's doing it therefore it's the right thing to do is a logical fallacy.

You're right, but I have enough faith in Ernie that he won't keep making the same mistake over and over and over. He showed with Sarpong that he wasn't afraid to admit he made a mistake, so why wouldn't he be doing that with Vinnie?

Finding out that Sarpong was a dud badly hurt our season though.

It took time to find that out and then we had spent a lot of our resources on him, plus we were short an attacking player.

Finding Riera made a real difference to our ability to play football and the defence's ability to stop the opposition scoring. Being without him wasn't the plan this year by all accounts.
