Someone pointed out that Allegri used Benta-Arthur just to see if the combination would work, basically throwing ingredients against the wall to see if it sticks, possibly because he didn't follow our matches at all last season. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is, this is unacceptable to me. Anybody can throw together a team with whatever combinations and permutations and see if something works. That's not coaching, a freaking computer algorithm can do that.
Sometimes second stints at a job don't always work out. Organizations change, people change, processes change, the competition changes, et cetera. Hoping to garner results based on a snapshot of time a few years ago isn't a competent strategy. Some of these players need to be broken of their ways, or benched forever, not coddled because they've been there forever or have high salaries.
