Guest Jack the Hat Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 In my life, we have been on the cusp of really achieving something twice. First under Atkinson and when Chansiri arrived. Unfortunately, Atkinson left, and we fell under the stewardship of Francis. Secondly, when Chansiri was a spending lunatic, CC was manager. Just our luck in these moments to have terrible managers. What we achieved (although underachieved is the better word) was despite these managers, not because of them. Don't like thinking about it. Makes me sad.

His 'we don't run we play football' attitude/strategy got him sacked as our team were clearly way behind in fitness by season 3. He was good but ultimately got himself sacked.

Makes me sad. i said at the time sacking 'as such' Gray was a bit stupid, he should have at least been given the chance - yes the football was dire towards the end but he had nothing to work with and he saved us from going down. Well thought of as a coach and still is with a decent director above him (wilkinson) i think we'd spent the money wiser, albeit under CC we were a goal away from promotion I believe long term we'd been better served by SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos has outgrown us… so how he’s a bad manager in some people’s eyes I’ll never know. Turns out the grass wasn’t greener by getting rid of him. I think fans expectations are rarely aligned with reality. Objectively speaking Carlos did a good job with us and showed he is a decent manager. Just because we didn't go up doesn't change that. You see it this year with people thinking we should be in the automatics. Objectively speaking there is no reason to expect that but its still the benchmark for some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then and now. No manager took them up either during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
