Rudi , I do not know the truths about what Frank said in the interview , I see people posting that he said said he would change the style gradually , if he did he lied . Did he say he thought 3-4-3 would suit our players better before or after he was appointed?
If he did lie about the gradual change , and then decided as I think he might of after he was made manager , then Parish could not do much about that.
As I say I do not know the truths of the above.

As for the pre season , I could see it , you and certain other football knowledgeable posters could see it was disaster waiting to happen , but what could Steve do about it then ? You see the hand wringers despairing about Frank going after 4 games when it did prove to be a disaster , can you imagine the ruckus if he was sacked pre season ? I would not have minded but I suppose Steve was obliged to give Frank a few proper games.
Steve made a mistake appointing Frank and his actions show him admitting it.
He has taken the swiftest action to try and rectify it.

That will be the test I reckon. If Roy starts him it will show he's at least slightly adaptable, if not I think we're f***ed or at least Roy is, he's not looking amazingly open to new ideas at the moment and the old ideas aren't working (and I don't mean total football, I just mean playing a young striker instead of playing an experienced AM out of position). With our limited squad this season we're going to have to take some risks, even if they don't work.

Ok we now have another two weeks of embedding the managements ideas into the squad. We will then play Chelski and get beaten as we all expect but we will be better practiced at the style and formations that the management require before travelling to the North East. That will be the game that we can start our critical judgement. So far as MKCPFC has argued we have been coping with a legacy of a manager who has ruined the players confidence and totally confused them and played against the cream of the division.
Let us all save our criticism and or praise for later and in the meantime just go with the flow. If the pattern of loses continues against the lesser teams comming up then ok let rip as I will probably also do. On the other hand we may actually start picking up points!
