I think those "experienced campaigners" were as affected by the turmoil at the club as much as any of us. They were doing alright under Keegan iirc.
Now, I know it's hip to say "given how much they earn they should play on the day of their childrens funerals bla bla bla" and pretend that they're just automatons that get paid and nothing off the field should affect them, but it does. Kinnear might not be the best option but he's what we've got and he's trying to steady things. We're in a precarious spot tbh and mixing it up by tossing in Dutty Custard in at this point could upset things.
That said, I do want to see him at some point in the season. I'm as much a fan as any but just not right now.
