What, me worry?
Howson did bring in most of the team we are currently watching but he also brought in the team we saw play five, four, three and two years ago... No one here knows what is going on behind the scenes with John Davidson in the organization; he could be impacting the room in a way Howson never could.
There is more to winning than a list of players, there is an organization behind players on a daily basis... A simple positive attitude knowing you are being led by a guy (JD) with bona fide experience and confidence could be the difference...
Good post.
Let's look at the S.H. Situation from a little bit different perspective.
J.D. Was president of the St. Louis Blues. The Blues were sold to a new ownership group. The new owners decided that they no longer wanted J.D. as President and they parted ways. Everyone agrees that J.D. did a great job rebuilding that team, yet for whatever reason ownership wanted a new direction and their guy as President.
Now J.D. is President here in CBus. J.D. Knows what and who he wants. No matter what kind of job S.H. did, Davidson wanted to move in a different direction and bring in his guy. In business, this happens all the time. So whether you liked Scott or not, it was well within Davidson's authority to can Howson and bring in Jarmo.
Nuff said.
Time to stop looking up a dead horses ass, and move on.
