I think my issue with Pep is how he changed the culture of the club, and Eales spoke about that too on Friday.
I'm not ITK by any means but I'm aware of Pep basically giving two fingers to the recruitment team and being a bit of a tyrant behind the scenes. We've all seen what happened with the players he's brought in. It wouldn't surprise me if those individuals did change the mood in the dressing room. If you look at our performances early in the season, we were playing some very good football but the insipid performances post September sucked the life out of the club. The entire atmosphere changed, and I think that resonated from the players and the stands at the same time, not just from one or the other. The club felt split as a community and that wasn't really restored until Charlton. I won't even mention THAT game because that in itself was a nightmare.
My number one would still be Rix though.
