    Think he was a great manager for us, sometimes I think when you are in management and you walk into a club, it depends on firstly what players you have then secondary what funds you have available. Other facts are obviously the scouting system set up, the financial side, wether you have to sell players, how much you have to strengthen and what what money you have available . It’s different at every club and every job. So many factors involved, some fall unlucky ,some very lucky others given more than others.

    Sometimes things just click and work don’t they, sometimes no matter who you are all the factors you list work against you

    Never liked the bloke, he was a massive **** pre city. Not denying we had a great time here with him as a manager and he made some excellent signings for us but he was full of ****. Always talked ****. He was the football manager equivalent of a succubus.

    I am surprised that he’s failed in league 1. Maybe a proof that he lived off his reputation whilst it remained intact.

    Im frunk so maybe not being very tactical with my words but at least im not mincing them.

    Blackpool fans said he was never the same manager after his grandchild died whilst at a childminders and that's fully understandable.

    Completely understandable. Suspect in the circumstances Steve felt football may become a healthy distraction after such a tragic incident. Shame it's not worked out. Whichever way you look at it, he's achieved a lot in the game.
