... or change it to 'ON OFFER'

 

Or add KIN'ELL

 

Those are all very useful suggestions

 

Football fans tend to only see the in pitch side of clubs. If managerial hire and fire was his primary role then he probably should go. The reality is that his job is largely unrelated to football matches. He's running a company and from a business side he's excellent. Football clubs without debt are rare and given where we were when he took over he's been excellent. As I said though largely a healthy balance sheet doesn't interest football fans. If the league goes badly we get to try again the next year, when the books get bad we might not.

 

Both have turned out to be wrong with hindsight, but I actually think McNally's key decisions were understandable at the time;

1) Allowing Hughton far longer than most clubs would have done We all know that most clubs jump too quick- Cardiff and Fulham were doomed long before us. At the time, sticking with him was sensible. For most of the season it seemed there would be at least 3 teams worse than us, especially as Nowrich kept winning when we hit the worst depths.

2) Sacking Hughton with 5 key games left After west brom Hughton's position was totally untenable. We seemed to be on an inevitable slide. We rolled the dice rather than just sit there. just cos the dice gave us two 'ones' doesn't mean it wasn't a sensible decision given the odds involved.

 

I've said many times on here I don't think we should have sacked Hughton for footballing reasons but after the poisonous atmosphere of the Brom defeat we simply couldn't persevere with him. I think he would have kept us up but McNally had no choice but to act so I can't blame him - although he made the decision to appease fans because he couldn't hold his nerve any longer.

 

This is the only post you have made since he was sacked, get over it DM he is gone and we all know you think he would have saved us I don`t .
