I disagree.
Just as now our trajectory is upwards, so were our chances once Miron got the team playing right (by his way). Had he come just a few weeks earlier that trajectory would've started earlier and thus carried on longer, he/we just ran out of time.
Rescue us from relegation PLUS the kudos within English football minds of the cup run and he'd be eyeing a promising start of Project Argyle phase 2 as the vehicle to get an EPL job.
Irrespective of family, Irrespective of geography, Irrespective of us being 'little old Plymouth' (in the wider footballing consciousness) that's just too big a carrot to pass up for what had been a poisoned chalice previously at Schalke. Yes Argyle too had been a poisoned chalice but he'd have been half way through that project as opposed to starting all over again... foundations already laid versus 'bare earth'?
And the financial black hole has come from the multi million pound loss of Championship status and a record breaking signing commitment made before MM arrived.
It all comes down to staying up or going down. And Mexijan was right, if Wazzer had been binned off just a couple of weeks earlier then the dumb luck of getting Miron would've meant the coin fell the other way. Right now we'd be an upwardly mobile Championship side... closer to the promotion end than the relegation end.
And who knows what could happen from there, the investment Simon has struggled to get interested could've finally seen the potential and invested.
Sliding doors innit.
All now a matter of opinion but I respect your right to your opinion whilst disagreeing with it. Miron could've stayed and Miron will not be scapegoated for the financial black hole while I still have breath in my body.
He was the best chance we had of Championship football this season and competitive, EPL directed Championship football this season. And had he been given just a little more time by an earlier start that's exactly what we'd have now... plus no 'black hole'.
It's not fair to put all our woes on Miron, it comes from persisting with Wayne Rooney for far longer than was merited. They got lucky with Miron, but they should've rolled the dice earlier to have maximised that luck.
