I think a new DOF should be the first change we make (although I can't see this happening anytime soon). We might then make a better decision on the appointment of a new manager, which needs addressing sooner rather than later imo. I still believe that Shakespeare got the backing from Rudkin, and the subsequent nod, as he posed no threat to his authority or (bad) decision making. Whereas I'm not sure his position would have been as comfortable had a stronger character or bigger name been appointed after Claudio.
