The problem is Phil Gould was not involved in bringing him back.
Gould fought to keep Hook until the off-seasonnand the dopey merkin blames him entirely for it when the board made it happen.
Likewise the public blame Gus for forcing Ivsn to break a contract when Ivan isn't eveb the coach Gus would have picked.

The opening line of the article... Gus was barely involved if at all. Im sure after Hook he's happy for Ivan back. But he certainly didnt drive it to happen.
Numerous times Gus has said the board was talking to Ivan. It is a good thing that others are involved in such big decisions like the coach
