Fucking useless cunt - how does he ever get a job with this record?? You’d have thought maybe the Villa job (failure to get promoted and then leaving a good team mid-table) would have meant he’d stay a mid-table Championship manager. The fact he went to Sheff Wed suggests that’s where he’d still be if Ashley hadn’t stepped in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I think you are right. 2 seasons of mediocrity with Sheffield Wed, the sack and then a slow downhill end to his 'illustrious' career. Only Ashley could chose him for our manager........Rot in hell both of them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Sorry to post this blady f***ing c*** of a bloke in here but this really is an unbelievable tweet from a professional journalist for a national newspaper. Outright winding fans up of the club he's supposed to report on. He's an absolute disgrace. Why would he do this? Surely it just ramps up the animosity towards his great mate even more?

Yorkie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Was the same with Kinnear, Pardew and McClaren - we were the only PL club that would have gone near any of them. You can extend that list to Keegan and Shearer as well tbh; neither of them were anywhere near a Premier League job. There's even an argument for Hughton as well. Letting Hughton continue was just as big a gamble as it was giving John Carver the controls; arguably an even riskier one given we were well clear of the relegation zone when they gave Carver the job. Thankfully Hughton turned out to be exactly what we needed, but that was just lucky. So everyone except Rafa, basically. The managerial appointment have just been horrendous, despite us 'only' getting relegated twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If we weren’t attacking, just playing defensively (and doing that well) and nicking points on the counter, that’s where that statement would be correct.
