We've been over these issues raised here a fair bit. I don't think many minds are going to be changed at this point.
But I'll be damned if I'm comfortable living in a world where you can't make fun of Kane Cornes. He has rubbished the rebuild by pointing to three one-year contract extensions that most on here would support. The Ballas one, which is to my mind the most marginal, Cornes seemed to suggest was wrong because D Pearce was playing well at Peel.
He's talking about a symptom as a cause. He has no clue. Cornes made three points, and two and half of them were wrong. And people are like 'See, Kane Cornes thinks we're stuffed.'
Kane Cornes.
People are entitled to criticise the club, and there is plenty of cause to. But c'mon, you can do better than to cite Kane Cornes' ill-conceived carpary as supporting evidence. You're better than that.
Besides, Cornes has the look of a guy who is too dense to do anything but be a paid talking head rabble-rouser. He's too dim for coaching or a life outside football, so we're probably going to be stuck with him on TV or radio for the better part of a decade. I have no doubt he'll lob equally ill-informed grenades at the coach that replaces Lyon, and at that point you'll be firmly in the camp that Cornes is someone whose opinions should be taken seriously.
It's a bad place to be.
