I wonder if TH management style is more suited to a team you've already managed and won things with as opposed to trying to create something new. That tough no nonsense approach in management might work if you have already established an aurora built from success but before that it often doesn't work. As soon as it doesn't work the team will start to look to fault someone other than themselves which means the tough approach makes you look weak, because it makes them feel like you're blaming them for your own faults. The team starts to imagine how it would be with a different manager. The team essentially is stronger than the manager at this stage. It's hard to build anything from this point unless you have a team that accepts it is mid table. As the media, pundits and fans will never accept this the cycle will thus continue.
