RolandWaddle Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Anyone seen the interview with him on Beeb website? His appointment as manager here was never going to work, but I don't think anyone could bear him any ill feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That old woman has a lot to answer for. *the old woman who shouted at him, not Yorath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Played against him (and paul jewell) in a charity game in about 2000. He was complimentary about our fans, pointing out we were the one thing the club had going for them at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I always thought that he looked just like a lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trusty_left_peg Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Took us to a League Cup semi-final which given how poor we were at the time was quite an achievement. That said, he did also bring Jon Beswetherick to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 appointed by the club at a time when those in control didn't have a clue what they were doing. Previous chairmen and board members are more at fault than any manager we've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Banno's Wedge Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Read his book and if my memory serves me correctly he said he never wanted the job but was made a rediculous offer. Says it all about the era he was here really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've witnessed everyone from Jack Charlton to Dave Jones and nothing compares to the absolute gash that was served up during Irvine's reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yorath was a decent bloke put in an almost impossible situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No way worse than Peter Eustace's spell in charge Poor Peter! Hate the photo of his dejected look after he was given the boot! Wednesday legend!! Heartbreaking stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumboldowl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've witnessed everyone from Jack Charlton to Dave Jones and nothing compares to the absolute gash that was served up during Irvine's reign. You just missed Len Ashurst or you wouldn't have opted for Irvine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Jewell, Shreeves and Yorath were a triumvirate at one stage and they were all sacked one by one. Depressing times and it was just the easy option to give each one a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standidno Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Irvine was worst then anyone from Turner, Yorath and shreeves....tho probably not Shreeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Read that Yoarth had a drink problem and if it did not start at time he was manager here I bet it made it a whole lot worse. You always got the feeling like Shreeves that his heart was not in it when he was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 When you consider the personal tragedy he has gone through with this son then i've nothing but admiration for the bloke. Great player in an era when players were tough. Not a great manager for us but let's face it he's not on his own with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 You just missed Len Ashurst or you wouldn't have opted for Irvine. Actually Len was a tactical genius at the side of Steve Burtenshaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
