Happy Anniversary Luke

I agree, but I'm not sure I trust the club to go and get that person anymore.

I genuinely think (and I promise I'm not saying this to spark another tedious debate on it), that Duff would have been that man if the club had stuck its course through the transition and hadn't bottled it after only a couple of months and gone back to the Martin tactical universe that the 'senior players' were pining for.

The timeline I have for managers is pretty long. if it were up to me, this season would be the make or break season for Duff. For Williams, that would be next season - he'll have had 18 months to get fully settled and got what he can from the recruitment team over 4 windows. If this time next season we're still treading water and moaning about the same issues, we'll need to make a change that summer.
We will never know about Duff, I haven't seen any real progress since he was replaced.

Only thing which gives me hope is the new ownership regime.

When we appointed Williams I can imagine we were restricted to shopping in B&M for a manager. I'm hoping next time we'll have a budget for Waitrose or at least Sainsbury's.
