You tell me.  Was it bad management or poor results? What do you think?

 

Your inability to link man management skills to poor results is utterly remarkable

 

I'm starting to think I'm getting trolled on this one

 

lol

Pleat signed some very good players. Degryse, Nicol, Stefanovic, Kovacevic, Blinker, Newsome, Carbone & Di Canio.

Nicol was past his best

Degryse, Kovacevic and Blinker we’re gone in the ***** of an eye.

I wouldn’t put Newsome in the very good bracket.
The Italians were great footballers.

Why was man management important in this team that ran itself ?

 

So that when things start to (inevitably) go belly up the manager can make sure he can pull things back on track through clever man management and development of players.

Sometimes good Man management is to let a team run itself and not interfere too much. 

He did very well at first and then it went wrong. 

A story repeated hundreds of times in football management.

So things inevitably go belly up. You should have said that earlier, would have saved us a lot of time.

Regardless of his age Nicol played well during his time at Wednesday and Newsome added some steel to the defence.

So following the same line every manager who's a good man manager should have a job for life. What SWFC managers would you consider to be good man managers?

Sorry mate I was being facetious to our host. 
I totally agree with your comments.

YES!

 

My point still stands though mate


Francis left the club in a way way worse position than the day he took on the managers job

Like Wenger at arsenal then 

Like Jose at Real Madrid then 

Like Rafa at Newcastle when he got them relegated then 

 

It's happened with some of the best managers of the world 

 

And its happened here 99% of the time 

 

Was Francis perfect, no

but we've had a damn lot worse 

 

I'd like to live in a world where Sheffield Wednesday finishing 3rd, 7th twice, in Europe and two Cup finals again
