I’m not sold that this is an upgrade. I think Bottcher has become a better shot maker than Jacobs.

Jacobs brings more experience and maybe there just wasn’t a fit with the team.
Strictly my observation from afar, but Boettcher comes across as a bit of an arrogant prick and someone whom it would be difficult to be a team mate with at times.

If so, then just getting that kind of negativity off the team could improve them regardless of shot making ability.....though Jacobs is no slouch in that department either.

Im still really curious as to what set all this in motion and will find out in time from one of the horses mouth, but IMO it comes down to chemistry.

Also really wondering about the Koe stuff...he had a poor year by his standards but IMO is also still one of the best in the world. Just cant see his team wanting to part ways at this point (which would be awkward for Martin im sure) unless they think Boettcher could be better... but Tardi was hand picked by KK to join in the 1st place.
