I do wonder if another coach would have done better with the same squad.
Also strange that they did fire him now, with lots of players to the Africa Cup.
Time will tell, but I will not be surprised if the new coach would buy some new players and fail also. There is something fundamentaly wrong since Ferguson's retirement.
A lot of their games were very winnable that they drew but is it really the managers fault??
Or the players on the pitch, or the subs that were made.
It's hard to know if another coach would have won those games but i don't see many good replacements out there and it looks like they are just going to keep an interim manager until the end of the season so that makes the decision look even more personal for speaking against the board.
His last pressconference before he got fired tells me that he already knew what was going to happen.
