    Apart from taking us to division 3?
    He was thick as ****.
    He hadn't a clue.
    Oh **** it, I can't think of one redeeming feature.

    He came to us, and we had to get in sharp to beat ManU and England for his services. Touted as the best manager in English football at the time.

    The difference was that when Wilkinson was made manager I just knew we would be ****e. With Mackemenemy I really had high hopes and felt so let down..

    i'm sure we were playing sourhampton a few years after his reign, and he had to get police protection round his home in Hants, coz he'd been visited by a horde of Sunderland fans telling him exactly what they though of him. or something like that.....

    he's up there withJimmy Chin, on the top ****ers list
