I like McDermott and I enjoy his blunt style and honest interviews - they make a refreshing change from the identikit 'it was a tough game, we worked hard, credit to the opposition' comments most players and coaching staff make these days.
Without going into too much detail on the past, McDermott was successful in getting a professional and talented group of players to perform when it counted, often against the odds. You could even argue he got the team to over-perform - especially in 2017. The reasons for our decline - hubris, lack of investment in signings and youth, an over-inflated opinion of the strengths of the players we had - can't all be laid at McDermott's door, but it is difficult to see how the club could have been turned around with him still in post. The same applies to GH - while he's still there, someone like Sinfield is needed to make the necessary changes.
