I think so - he is now aware that you can't turn youngsters into tough reliable players without a few experienced players around them. Perhaps he hoped that the young players would do that themselves but that part did not work out. The remaining philosophy was pretty much OK. It is similar to what made Ferguson successful - experienced backbone as a frame for bringing in the academy/younger players, with the odd special buy.
