Order of shitness

 

Lee - great coach, terrible manager

Coyle - nice bloke, shite tactician

Freedman - unbelievably difficult job, doesn't spot the obvious

Megson - signed decent talent, awful pr ability

 

Who next? Fuck knows. I certainly don't envy PGs task here.

Order of shitness

 

Lee - lucky to last the 11 league matches he did

Freedman - doesn't have the tactics to win home games in the 2nd Division.These home performances are worse than Sammy Lee's.

Coyle - despite a very good first year and very bad luck with injuries worse than Megson

Megson - overpaid for mostly average players but had more idea how to attack teams than Freedman and obviously better defensively than Coyle. A failure though like the other 3

Megson was a lot worse than just a bad PR man but feel free to fiddle with the past

 

I think it's very difficult with Sammy Lee; he could have turned it around or could have had us have the worst season ever....he didn't seem to get as much of a chance as the others

These bad appointments have so far kept us in the top two leagues

hmmm nice spin

 

They have taken us from UEFA spot challengers to scrapping to stay up from where we haven't been for over 20 years

 

Not many could have done worse

when you've finished waffling, maybe you'll answer the question

 

 

FFS, in the reserves, warming the bench, on gardening leave. Any cerebral stimulation yet or am I pissing in the wind?

if i said it was a success, i didn't mean it to be that way

 

so, i'll put it another way

 

relegation would be abject failure

 

i'll tolerate staying up for this year and give him more time

 

now, even you shouldn't be able to misconstrue that

 

 

I can try.

 

Seriously, I agree that staying up will be 'success' looking at our current predicament.

Maybe but my point is that they wouldn't be playing and, for most players, that eventually breaks them.

mismanagement maybe ?

 

Mears was a rightback in a championship team that did quite well..

 

Clearly must have SOMETHING about him..

 

but Freedman can't get it out of him.. and has basically written off his whole contract..

 

seems daft in reality.

I think it used to, but I don't think it does so much now, certainly not the ones earning a decent wedge. Players used to move on to somewhere they thought they wouyld be guaranteed first team action, these days you have players quite content to sign for a club knowing full well they will be just a squad player. It's not about the glory anymore, it's all about the money!.............and to be honest I don't blame them

Well, we were below Derby when he was potted ... by much less than we are now, mind.

 

Joking aside.  Lee had the temerity to drop the likes of Nolan and Speed.  Those players had so much influence in the dressing room he never stood a chance after that.

 

The fact that he's never tried his hand at managing elsewhere since suggests to me he never really did and never really does see himself as a manager though.

The whole board is guilty of mismanaging this football club.....

 

I agree, the current predicament we find ourselves in is down to mismanagement from top to bottom over the past few years
