Phelan definitely deserves it .. and manager of the month .. how he got the lads left playing to get 6 points out 9 was a minor miracle
Big questions remain over his inability to come up with a Plan B - when Man U scored he should have laid into the lazy basterds and changed things around, put on fresh legs but the game just drifted away.. Where's McLaren he'd do a job..
It was someone on here that mentioned it when I think it was Bob Bradley & Zola were getting to the favourites!
Meh. I know this could be taken as hindsight, but if I'd known, have had £50 on it. 18's was very too big.
I know! It must have been around the week on Friday before Lichester! I was going to have a fiver on him & a fiver on us to win the game! Didn't do either! As you say, Meh!
Don't moan about missing out on long odds , let's face it nobody wanted Phelan when Bruce did one , it was almost scoffed as a cynical two finger to the fans from Rehab Alan ... Fukkem tho because happily he is doing a great job
I have to admit, whilst Phelan was not my preferred candidate, he has grown on me. I found his pre match interviews refreshingly up beat, with Bruce his interviews always left me with a feeling his team was beaten before they stepped onto the pitch. Hardly an inspiration for the players. Phelan despite having to operate through a **** storm has been upbeat and served up some decent football too, with almost no players. Decent, be interesting if he keeps Clemenceau as number 2 or brings in someone else?
Let's hope that he performs better as Phelan's assistant than he did during the Treaty of Versailles. His vindictive insistence on unsustainable German reparations undoubtedly led to hyper-inflation and the rise of National Socialism. However, he was nicknamed The Tiger, so, you know, ultimately no harm done.
He's the right choice for the moment. I see the 20/20 hindsight experts are out in force. Phil Buckingham, you don't need a hyphen between long and term.
Aye, I didn't want him, still don't really. Now he has to pick teams, but good luck to him as he has certainly earned a shot at it.
Phelan 16/1 at coral........ get on quickly #2210 cannon67, Aug 2, 2016 Edit Report Reply I said at 16/1
