I would concur that he needs the benefit of the doubt.I am a Schu fan and he may well prove to be over rated. But until I see him full time at 5/8, with a committeed team behind him giving him some space to work in, I'm sticking with him as the future for the Club.
However , if it’s a disaster for him in that role after a reasonable amount of time then I expect the knives to be out and rightly so.
As to a reasonable amount of time , Mmmm dunno , half a season to show some promise , a full season to cement his spot.
But can’t be any longer than that
