They gave him the job on emotion. He was a good player and fans favourite but no real experience. He was the wrong man for the job and its cost them football league status.
I’ve always thought there was something bellendrical about them. Favourite meeting for me was the 3-1 win under Little - yes the ‘Ryan Williams’ match. They were giving it large and to be fair they were pretty smart for a 4th Division outfit – marshalled by the worm hungry Sean Dyche. I remember all the sour onions the pre-season after, when we signed Laurie Dudfield under their nose – and Williams - much discussed disgust on internet most primitive back then.
