And that line up will not be our 1st 11 .Of the new lads on this display who is looking like they will be 1 st teamers ?
They can play 0-1-9 or 9-0-1 as far as I am concerned so long as the football is entertaining and we are successful. As GT said, it's not formations that win matches - it's players....
He was being modest - it is Managers that win matches with effective use of the talent at their disposal. I doubt that anyone other than GT would have taken us from the depths of the 4th division to league and cup runners up and Euro participation - even sayikng it makes me wonder if I am back in a dream
I would say that you're partially right, Leo. It needs the owners/board to back the man they have appointed to manage, as you say the managers to use that talent at their disposal, and the attitude of the players must also be right. Would we have had any of that success if one of our more recent owners had been in charge instead of SEJ? Although it shouldn't be forgotten the impact GT had off the field - he was the one who had the idea of the family areas (growing up I used to enjoy the Xmas parties for the children in the Family Enclosure), the one who said that we shouldn't have fences in front of the terracing when we reached the top flight, the one who said that there wouldn't be dugouts until there was a roof on the Vic Road end.
