But, wouldn't they have flogged VvD at the first sniff if that was the case? I think they had pride and loyalty wrapped up in a bundle with the sacking. I don't mind mistakes if people learn from them, but credit has been used and abused now. We need everything done right, no matter the cost.
He might have done, we'll never know. He certainly wasn't the root cause of all our problems. He had to go after the Newcastle game, but up to that point I kept thinking he could turn things round.
I believe with the whole of my heart MP2 would have seen us down. You think we'd have clung on at B'mouth for the 2-1 win? You reckon with an injury he'd have been brave enough at the Liberty? No way, snow balls chance mate. RELEGATED bottom. No doubt at all.
You may be right....but we will never know. One thing I do suspect is that we'd have been better to keep Puel...not suggesting that he was the answer, but if you want a crap season and stay up....he'd have done it.
We should have held on to Koeman/Pochettino/Adkins/Strachan/Hoddle/Nicol* *Delete as appropriate All's well that ends well though, eh?
Been watching a few pundits predictions from the last four weeks on youtube. Its laughable how so many lament us for selling our players, then criticise us for not letting Virg leave early in the summer. Damned if you do &....................
You have to have some sympathy for the people running the club here; they finally decided to put their foot down and prevent the usual exodus, then got held to ransom by that horrible git and his agent. Having sold the twat, we should have spent the money though.
Read his book a few years ago. He was stitched up by everyone, the police, the media, the whole system failed him on the flimsiest evidence imaginable. Hope he has found some happiness & contentment now, away from the spot light.
Yep. Learned a thing or two about not simply accepting the things you are told. Always keep an open mind.
We should have cryogenically frozen Lawrie and thawed him out every time we are in trouble .....................
What? That tosser who got us relegated in his first season and took 4 years to get us out again? The prat who coached a team that let a little twat score a last minute goal against us in a Cup semi -final? Behave
