    I'm just not getting what point you and Smug are making about how we weren't in the top two when he left and we were after. Seems like you're saying that we didn't need his goals.

    I only play Ark or Minecraft.

    Got our own servers for ark and a family one for Minecraft so I can ignore the world:emoticon-0100-smile

    Some just gave him longer than others, personally I’ve made no comment one way or the other, probably since the end of last season. Some are just willing to give a manager longer. And to be honest it’s the right or wrong that some (not saying you) that pees me off a bit. Surely it doesn’t matter, being right or wrong doesn’t change anything, and surely all we all want is for us to do well

    We are saying that even with Maja’s goals, at the time, Ross didn’t have us in the top 2.

    Whilst I’m in agreement I think we’d have went up with him, we don’t know that, and we didn’t fall away when we lost him, we went higher, making it a difficult point to use to defend Ross.

    Deep down we all wanted him to succeed, which ever side of the argument you say its now apparent we need a change

    Ark is a survival game with dinosaurs, me and the wife and some friends have been playing it nearly 2 years now.

    Minecraft is just a relaxing game that we can play with the kids

    I noticed that it was the 25th anniversary of Friends recently..

    Dies that mean Ross will meet some people who still like him, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler

    Can't wait for us to do well again (Reidy era) but it pees me off that we've wasted another 18 months when it was as clear as day Ross and his crew weren't of sufficient calibre but they fitted the budget.

    I don’t agree about the 18months (not including the close season months, just the season months). 18 season months takes us back almost to the beginning of last season, certainly the autumn of last season and things were okay then.

    The only logical conclusion to me is that if he had stayed we'd have been absolutely flying because even without him we got in the top two. I know nothing in football is guaranteed but to see that any other way is a stretch motivated by not rating the manager.

    We'd have gone up and Ross would have been hailed as a hero. Until the first season in the championship at least.

    One of the things that goes against Ross is the fact he has not connected with the fans and has never tried to.

    The various player ratings back your assessment up!
