This isn’t accurate for a few reasons. First, yes, anything less than Chapman or similar wouldn’t land well, which you could say is unfair maybe but true.
Signing IKF didn’t appease anything. That action didn’t calm down anyone complaining about a bad off season. It triggered the trolls like me even. You could say that about Turner only. KK even was an odd fit and people are like, ok. Not against it but it really wasn’t anything appeasing anyone.
If they stayed on Chapman until the end, and lost out, again yeah you’d have bitching that they ended up with a second rate solution but as of now, it’s: You f***ed up Plan A and then you can’t even do Plan B right
