Agree that the money situation shows we are punching above our weight.I think to say MT has fallen short is a little harsh!
Many talk about the need for us to score more goals etc, and while I agree with this we were still the 5th highest scorers in League Two last season.
Some people seem to forget that even with the club putting in an extra 500K to the budget for the past few seasons our budget still only ranks around between 9-12th in the division so we are still overachieving in terms of our league position based on finances.
The criticisms that I would have of MT is that in the past two seasons we have started well and he seems to have had a very clear picture of his best 11 and then at times during the midpoint of the season we have seemed to lose our way and identity to some extent. This could obviously just be down to players form etc, but it is something that we need to address.
The other criticism is the handling of Nicky Ajose as rightly or wrongly I still believe he could really be an important player for us but it seems as though something has clearly gone on and MT does not trust him in the side. With MT having made this signing only a year ago and publicly expressing what an excellent signing it was it all seems a bit strange and doesn't reflect overly well.
Also regarding Ajose, and perhaps Aaron Martin, Taylor isn't the 'arms around players' kind of manager. He has time to learn you need carrot and stick.
