The more that I think about this whole sorry situation, the more I can only come to one conclusion.
Morison lacked the experience and people skills to convince Tan that he could get us into a position for a realistic push for promotion.
So what about Hudson or perhaps Purse? Well along with Bamba et al, the club aren't really in a position to do anything other than take an uneducated punt at how that experiment may end.
As productive, in the moment, that NW was for us - that was based on a track record of great people management and great productive experience. MM was experienced but did not have such a good track record and could not live up to Tan's (and the Board's) expectation.
Therefore, the only conclusion that I can reach (based on common sense) is that we'll employ somebody with a proven track record that can help the club push on again. One last push, by Tan, for promotion and sustainability at that level.
Who could that be?
To me, and against my better judgement, I would say Sean Dyche. He may not be in the style of SM's idealism but he's also not quite as direct as NW. Perhaps the answer?
(If they don't have common sense and go with someone who's unproven, then please have the good judgment to talk with Cameron Toshack who's stock continues to grow)
