[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 999485, member: 73144"] I’m comparing Tigers to teams who have been able to stay at the top for the past few years displaying precisely the kind of hallmarks that Tigers used to have. Fair points about the styles of play, but you can’t stay at the top without cohesiveness and stability both on and off the pitch. Hard to gain, easy to lose. Borthwick will be under pressure from the word go (a) Because the only way is up, so rapid improvements will be expected (b) It’s a high profile role at the country’s biggest club (c) The nature of modern sport doesn’t allow the luxury of time. These are compounded by him not having club coaching credentials that he can point to as reassurance if things do get a bit bumpy. The game’s better with a strong Tigers. If they’re looking beyond quick fixes that makes sense, but you’ve got to have strong leadership to stick to that if results go against. [/QUOTE]
