Guest HalloweenJack Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 This has to be done, what are people’s thoughts on Tony? For me he is one of football's biggest personalities, when he is on one he is hilarious. The mouthing off on the touchline was a classic. I think in his prime at the turn of the decade he was a brilliant coach. I think if he managed us we would have won a big event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we needed a guy to put a rocket in the players’ arse, it was never going to work between him and DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 His 10 game spell in charge probably cost us our place in the championship. He was awful for us and I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being his last job in management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HalloweenJack Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Perhaps I am missing something here but why the negativity towards the guy. So his stint with us didn't work out and the football was boring. He was past his prime when he came to us. Things would have been different if he signed with us sooner.

But he didn’t sign sooner… he failed here and has his fingerprints on the young lads going to Celtic (which benefited nobody in the end) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 He’ll be remembered for his time at Stoke. As a person he seems a bit of a tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Excellent manager Unfortunately he had absolutely nothing to work with here, and when it became apparent he wasn’t going to be able to bring anyone in, it was pointless him being here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The 10 or so games he was here were an absolute abomination. Did great at Stoke and there was some solid work at Palace too, but he was a disaster at West Brom and carried on in the same vein when he got here. Garbage football.

matthefish2002 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Looking at his overall record he was a really good manager. Had to start at the bottom and wasn't given a job on strength of being a big name player like some. Hs second spell at Stoke was his peak years even though his football wasn't for the purists, although I guess Stoke couldn't compete with the big clubs if trying to out football them. Think he would regret taking over at Wednesday when he did, club were a mess off the field and his methods by then were 15 years out of date. You got the impression the players never took to him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 What he did at Stoke was pretty remarkable really. I mean, he just seemed to be one of those lower league, hoofball merchants who would do the rounds. Then he suddenly manages to get Stoke to hoof their way out of the Champ and stay in the Prem for several years. I'd put him in that sort of Colin camp of managers, and yet he managed to do what Colin never could: have a sustained run in the PL. He did well at Palace too.
