I am not a fan of mariner. As I said I would have fired him, as he was part of the regime, and I would not have thrown the system out with the coach, adjusted it certainly, but the total change I was not for. I do not like and have not liked what I have seen from Mariner on the pitch, but he got results, and to me that is the bottom line. Do not get me wrong he is not the future, unless he pulls a miracle, and it certainly seemineg less likely. I would not have hired him.
I do not like his style of play. It is far from the style that I would have played. I said it before, I liked what winter was trying to do, but trying and doing are two different things.
