What another brilliant job Derek is doing! Again proving what great manager he is. Remember we were 7th in his first season in League 1. Just those last 8 games in his second season in League 1 cost us. Not looking forward to getting beat by Yann, Toums and co next season. Still I suppose people are still satisfied with the best salesman this club has ever had at the helm
Can I ask, are you related? I think it's shameful your opportunism, choosing the lowest moment of our season to stick the boot in and sell Project Adams yet again. I used to be an onlooker now I'm a poster. As far as I'm concerned your not a fan, because if you were you wouldn't be doing this, tonight.
As far as your point made, it's a matter of perception and it's contextual...the notion of 'greatness'. Derek took us up, he took us down. He did both with little humor, class or even football, most of the time. Backs to the wall, two banks of 4 deep lying, hitting teams on the break home and away, 2 or 3 shots on goal per game, hardly even winning by more than 1 goal? I would suggest from memory many of us were glad for the change.
Derek has proven he can manage teams to compete at national to league 2 level. He's also proven he can't sustain teams any higher than that and the record shows he cannot sustain a level with any team for more than 3 seasons. I don't think to compare what we had then, as a football club, to what we have now is something to boast about it. Personally.
You won't get another post or response from me.
