My responses are lazy? I've put in the time to support my arguments with facts. I took the time to list all of the recent coaches of the team and their accomplishments. I brought up Randy Cunneyworth and corrected 2 claims about him, mentioning articles and quotes. Your answer was to say "whatever, a lot of people think like me so I must be right" which is not an argument but a fallacy.
Maybe if you presented any facts of your own, I could add even more to the discussion. But as your claims so far have been limited to "focusing on French is bad", I can only answer that. It is not my fault your arguments lack rigor.
I was pointing out your replies to me have all been the same which is claiming that I'm lazy. There have been other threads about the Canadiens relating to what can be done to improve the team. The team has obviously been performing below their fans expectations for a number of years now and it has been 25 years since they last won the Stanley Cup. In fact, 1993 was the last time they made it to the final. I have previously suggested they should rebuild their team through the draft and develop method. It takes longer and the fans have to be patient but it can certainly pay off in the long run. Making rash decisions by a gm in order to save their job short term can have long term consequences. Times are different now than in the 70's and earlier when the Habs were a force to be reckoned with. As the whole league is currently so much more at par competition wise, it may require the team to take a different approach in order to get back to the top. It's just possible that they may need to consider a coach like Mike Babcock or a gm like Steve Yzerman even though they are unilingual. It was just a suggestion for thinking outside the box and for the Canadiens to not restrict themselves to only hiring bilingual staff. The Expos and Alouettes were able to go that route and had some very good teams.
