Is that the rose tinted spectacles that remember he saved us from almost dead cert relegation the season before, maybe that unnecessary striker that turned out to be Sam Baldock. (lucky for us.!) maybe it was buying Liam kelly who most agree would be more than welcome in our current midfield? or the wins against Cardiff and Palace? His biggest single mistake here was keeping faith in Liam Fontaine, both as a member of the team and club captain, he will live and learn as we all do. What's for sure is some of you wont miss him, and he certainly wont be missing you..
I think you will find he was (reluctantly) sacked by a very loyal chairman because his position had become untenable.he had lost the dressing room and the vast majority of fans. winning games by an odd goal?? My memory is of being battered 6-0 at home to Cardiff in a Derby game?
So you found five positive aspects about dels 15 month reign here..Although I'm obviously happy he went out and bought a few decent strikers, he didn't strengthen the team properly, as you alerted to the fact he stuck out with Faultaine, if he spent the money on a better defender rather than spending it all on strikers then we wouldn't have to watch painfully Fontaine play week in week out would we?? You're right I won't be missing him, I'm delighted he's winning trophies in one of the worlds worst leagues, and with the lack of competition he has to play every week he definitely won't be missing us..
He tried and tried to get a defender none would come here or was asking to much. He only bought Baldock because West Ham offered him on a plate late on in the transfer window so they would clear their debt to us and not pay a selling on clause for Maynard. So really your argument on spunking all the transfer money on strikers isn't 100% true is it. I know you will try and come back with some sarcastic comment, but you got what you wished for. Me I would (obviously in hindsight) taken the chance on him sorting it out, because the ****wit that followed took us down without a fight last season and possibly nearly ****ed up this one. Also BRR who is the best player here who is Scottish?
Thats 5 more facts than you tried thinking about.! (just the small one of keeping us up when almost certainly doomed being stunningly overlooked by you being the best.) He didn't try to get Gary Monk or Anthony Gerrard or Richard Keough in then? The man was hamstrung by finances and was asked to perform miracles in a very good league whilst having his budget cut in half and being asked to concentrate on the academy. I have put some links up for you Lan so you can have a proper think about it.! And remember the basic Not 606 rule.. if redprintt agrees with you, you automatically become wrong.! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristo...steps-search/story-16919663-detail/story.html http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Derek-...y-Monk-stays/story-16581257-detail/story.html
So spending over £2m plus is having your budget cut in half is it? As for keeping us up, he bought in a centre back, who was capable of doing a good job in the championship in Amougu.shame he didn't grasp that concept isn't it!! He might of "tried" to bring in Gerrard, Monk and Keogh, but he didn't, did he? that was his downfall.. The fact he stuck with Fontaine in defence, keeping him captain whilst everyone and his dog could see he wasn't mentally with it just shows how out of his depth he was.. Me and Redprinnt don't agree on much but we both see he was completely lost down here.. Now he's in his so called comfort zone playing pub teams week in week out he'll do alright as a manager.. Keith Millen did a better job than Mciness ffs, that really does say it all
Try some modern day players that have graced the English premier league in recent time, we all know Daglish, Hansen, Souness Best ones I can think of is James Mcarthy, Robert Snodgrass, Steven Fletcher and erm.... Greame Dorrans As RedPrintt said, Adam Rooney wouldn't even get in our side, yet he's scoring for fun in SPL..
"Keith Millen did a better job than Mciness ffs, that really does say it all" Now I know you're talking bollocks. "he bought in a centre back, who was capable of doing a good job in the championship in Amougu.shame he didn't grasp that concept isn't " He obviously did didn't he thats why he tried bringing one in? its pointless having any further conversation with you as you are clearly incapable of understanding the concept of 'management' it's more than just wanting stuff and it turns up cos you've stamped your little feet.. You ought to go play a little 'pub football' you may start to understand some stuff..
Getting feisty, as you always do when someone has a different opinion than you, As for me talking complete "bollocks" about Millen being a better manager than Mciness: Millen: games: 57 Won:18 Drawn:12 Lost:27- Win percentage:31.58 Mciness: games: 63 Won:17 Drawn:14 Lost:32- Win Percentage: 26.98 I'll just leave it at that.. It's all good though, you read in the paper he's trying to get in a few centre backs, that's alright then.. He affectively relegated us being 8 points adrift at the bottom of the league, but mciness tried to bring in centre backs, that's all what counts right?? At least he bought a tough tackler that we needed in Jody Morris.. Like you said though, he won't be missing us at all, European giants Kilmarnock next who are 8th in the fantastic scottish league next for del boy, tough tough game
Kelly maybe we should all calm down a bit after all, we are far more likely to be staying up now, and we should be celebrating the fact, not taking lumps out of each other. We have been vindicated. Bristol City are not ****, in fact we are in a false position, and next season we are going to kick some ass
Cheers BRR, I was racking my brains and hoping you wasn't going to say Pearson But I think Kelly is English only plays for Scotland on parent or grandparent rights
"Getting feisty, as you always do when someone has a different opinion than you" ", do you read your own posts on OTIB, you get largely ignored there too.!! I do try to explain things first, but it is frustrating, when people use statistics in a football argument you know that FIFA 14 has got them and their eyes have stopped working then.. Oh well, I tried..
Never played fifa 14 in my life, Christ you are struggling here , using facts in a debate is such a hindrance to your delusional view on a ****e manager isn't it?? Maybe you should stick to talking about skiing, a topic you have more knowledge about..
You put fact at the end of your sentence, it must be right! I can certainly see now how redprintt and onefor have ran rings around you for all these years
"You put fact at the end of your sentence, it must be right" Wobbly Bob up my local pub knows more about fishing than you know about football and he's never been fishing cos he might fall in....
"Wobbly Bob should stick to fishing, you should stick to skiing, everyone's happy then" This sums you up, you didn't read and are unable to understand the post did you, Wobbly Bob has never been fishing cos he might fall in.! You should stick to OTIB (they mostly wont be happy but we will..) oh and FIFA 2014.. thats your dap off..
Maybe you and Mciness could have a conversation about different skiing sites, would be a perfect comedy sketch, ones a clown, the others a shocking football manager.. If it makes you feel any better we could have a conversation about the best ski slopes, at least you know what you're talking about then..!! Bored of this now, I'll let Onefor return to his regular duties of pulling your pants down on every single thread.. Later "pal"
"ill let Onefor return to his regular duties of pulling your pants down on every single thread" Thanks but will I have to wait 2 weeks for a reply, I usually do. You can return to your regular duties of having your pants pulled down on OTIB..
