You must be very near the top of the professional Carlos hater's club. Just don't want to see people like you cream on about a bloke that merely " nearly " got us promoted. Yet left us with a disaster of a legacy there'll be another carlos thread soon... You better go get your kleenex ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't like the constant one dimensional 'character assassinations" on someone who, yeah wasn't perfect, but who also took us closer to success than anyone else has come anywhere near to achieving. (and in the first year without spending the 'legendary fortunes he was supposed to have spent). I and other people seem to be able to accept the fact that, like most people he wasn't perfect, but was exceptional for some of his tenure, whilst falling down towards the end. Once again the mantra with some people seems to be 'Better to not try at all' than to 'attempt & die trying'. I would suggest the vast majority of our recent manager's come into the first category & yet it's the one who gave it a go who gets the most flak. Not perfect, but not the devil incarnate either. Like most people, somewhere in between. Shame you can't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the way you say " I and Others " as if all the fans liked him and followed your views., something to reinforce your hopeful view. We came fourth, ( using the final post playoff figures ) in the Championship. And cost doesn't necessarily mean in financial terms. The real cost to us was a damaged squad that could hardly function the following years. And the word " exceptional " We came fourth. Sadly, you maybe grew up in a world where a simple cross field pass to foot was described as stupendous or out of this world. Where i grew up in a world where it was... a pass to feet It's not a character assassination We came fourth, we weren't world beaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 He will do well. May be he can even challenge the usual big 3 of Sporting, Benfica and Porto. All the best Carlos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would do well to read through the relevant posts & threads & check for yourself the balance of opinion re CC. Certainly isn't just me, or is that just in your mind? You seem very keen to class 'standard' English as 'cliches'. "Character assassination" The malicious and unjustified harming of a person's good reputation. Don't have the faintest idea of what you're rambling on about here. "World that I grew up in". "World that you grew up in" ????????????????? Tell you what mate. You do your hatchet jobs. I'll keep it reasonable. Let other poster's make their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent must be doing very well for themselves. If you want a couple of good seasons then hiring a manager who's good for a couple of good seasons might not be a bad idea....

What other Manager has got us to a Wembley playoff, Perhaps you prefer the dross football under Jos, and Monk. or Danny Wilson. or Sturridge, or Davy Jones, the list is endless 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
