Your expectations appear to have dropped so low that you don't expect the club to be able to turn around the 'mess' he left 3 years on since he departed. You say he should have got us promoted but at the same time the players he left us with is why we are in a state, that is a bit contradictory at least.

NeonLeon Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 He never really talks about us though does he? Abit like a jilted ex. It’s never ‘I wish the chairman well’ or I think they’ll do well this season’ All he ever says about us is he loves the club because he took us to two play offs and a final. As if he’s saying ‘Look at how good as I was for them, and they forced me out in the end!’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Obviously it went wrong, don’t think anybody on here knows the reality of what happened. Could have simply lost the changing room, who knows. He had to go. That said until I read these replies, it has made me realise one thing. When he was here it was the first time, since Big Ron and Tricky Trev, I had left games thinking wow we were awesome today. Good luck CC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bitterly regret dc not giving gray the money for a forward line, instead of the expensive rebuild that went on. Ah yes, Stuart Gray, the fabled manager that hasn't had a managerial position of note since. Amazing how his reputation grew on the basis of a mid table finish where we failed to score a home goal from open play for about half a season. Stuart Gray seems like a good bloke and a good coach but if he was a good manager and believed in himself as a good manager, he would have put that to the test by now.

We seem to accept second best in many ways from the first team to the academy. A trip to Wembley by some posters is seen as a great achievement. It’s probably seen as an achievement because we never get to Wembley just because we lost can’t we still see it as a damn sight better than we have put up with for 2 decades barring the odd season ?

katie melua Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Don't have any bad feelings towards the bloke, he was a bit of a character But i'll never ever understand his tactical reasons for the away leg at Huddersfield when they had a 17 year old goalkeeper playing. Perfect opportunity to go at them, yet ended up putting in a very anti play off performance. A complete myth, just like zero shot month that produced 5 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him Bessie , Proudlock ,Barrie-murphy etc and see what hes got in his coaching locker Always remember when Warnock rocked up with bottom of the league Rotherham and took him to school, as did Nigel Clough !! Not sure of the true relevance of one-off results in what was a successful league campaign. Pep's City got 98 points last season but lost at home to Roy Hodgson's Palace. Least we learn't how to play against Burton Albion after Carlos left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 One of my favourite managers. Loved his passion on the sidelines, loved the football we played that first season. Don’t really understand the people still blaming Carlos for the squad now but everyone has an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's how I see it ,with a proper manager that team could have gone up automatic rather than us all doing cartwheels because we finished 6th, beat 9 men at Hillsborough and getting out managed at Wembley That first season nobody was tipping us to have a squad good enough and balanced enough for promotion, least of all us fans. Indeed new signings like Hooper were being slagged off as a fat waster during his first 2 or 3 months at Hillsborough by many on here. If you think we should have had enough for top 2 that season you are deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Apolon Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) There are more managers in our history deserving of our adoration There are more managers in our history deserving of our vitriol That being said, in our recent history of the last 25 years, I can see why he has such a split opinion - those who see the most charismatic manager we have had during the last 25 years who, in 1 season at least, gave us entertainment and those who recognise that he had more opportunity to deliver so much more, especially in season 2. Out of all the managers i have known since i supported the owls, which was only the mid nineties, he is up there with my personal favourite because of the others! Yorath, Irvine, Pleat, Jos, wilson, Jones, (always disliked him) are far further down the ladder, laws, stock, Atkinson, further up.

He comes across well. A good talker as we all know. But I wouldn't have him back. Jim White makes me want to staple my nads into my ear sockets. Absolute trump sniffer.
