Taken some stick on here recently, which always surprises me.

I get that some of the stuff he’s said and done since leaving are arguably controversial - but that was him! 

He wouldn’t have had the success he had with us if he wasn’t opinionated, stubborn, passionate with the ultimate self-belief that what he was doing/saying was right. You only have to look at all the superstars he managed with us - all of them speak really highly of him as a manager.

Still the best for me - loved him and still do. 

Here's the interview:

Didnt he balls up in browns last game as caretaker?

Not sure if it was that game but he had an absolute shocker at Sunderland when we got beat 3-0

Im not watching the video but what a crock of shit this piece is

And the comments, dear god

The anelka stuff is just bollocks and im fairly sure jussi was first choice

Jussi was at the same for two and a bit seasons before Todd left. And played 33 of 46 league games of Todd’s final season so very much not third choice.

Jussi played in the Barry Knight debacle.

Didnt play in play offs following season as we had Matt Clarke in nets for WBA and Preston.

Was Jussi injured I presume?

Yeah, andy parkinson of tranmere nobbled him at reebok

Game im thinking is home to crewe

Rodney Jack top bin. Although that could be about half a dozen different games.

Recall Jussi conceding a poor goal at home to Swindon that season. Couldn’t decide whether to come out or not and got lobbed while in no man’s land.

Also my much trotted out story of seeing him concede two goals through his legs in the first 10 minutes of his debut for the reserves
