Reluctant as I am to argue on the basis of players' wages, about which we know nothing, it's not far-fetched to assume that SEB and particularly Novak were signed on big money by DS - did anybody think differently?
He might have been a poor manager, but he'd have to be a raving idiot to go out and spend like that without realising it would mean he was committed to a certain style of play. If he'd spent the same on a central defender and a full-back we'd have rightly assumed he was going to play with a tight defence.
