Improvement is all relative to where your base is!.. Bevo replaced McCartney in 2014/2015 and in one season they went from 14th to 6th.
Carlton finished dead last and are now currently 5 and 5 sitting 11th.
8 and 7 spots improvement from each team with 1 preseason under a new coach.
They are the facts.
Like i stated that may not happen for us or any other club but that type of improvement without a list changing too much is completely possible with a coaching change.
You might want to go and check list changes for at least one of your factual examples.
It's all well and good to postulate that there is the possibility that a team may improve however it's possible that appointing Pendlebury captain/coach could see improvement.
Sacking the entire coaching staff and appointing an actual Magpie called Gary could possibly see improvement.
Where are the more qualified people to replace the coaches we have? It's not unreasonable to wonder who people have in mind when all that is suggested is:
1. Sack Bucks
2. ????
3. Top four
