People cannot take little snipits of Cox’s way of trying to be a football league manager, the guy may be a very nice man as so many of you have stated in the past, but he had no experience whatsoever, he came in from being a non-league ASSISTANT MANAGER, and in no time at all distinguished himself as not having a bloody clue. The team was playing a defensive system for the first 30 or 40 minutes of games, and were completely knackered for the remainder of games, they were obviously not training and were totally unfit, thats possibly why the slightest be of effort exerted by players resulted in strains or injuries, which at Scunthorpe always appeared to last for months on end for some reason.
The sad thing is that however bad a manager Cox was, the Chairman backed him and praised him, “for some reason or other,” maybe he is not a sacking type of Chairman ha ha!
Even when crowds dropped to 2,000 in protest obviously because fans had had enough of the unenjoyable rubbish being presented to them under Cox, he was still kept on until there was no other choice but to sack him, the guy should have gone last January, and all this “nice man” shite should not have been considered, the club needed a manager, not a nice man, we have now got one, and like others, I just hope that he gets backing next month from the Chairman, and the other management leave Keith Hill to do his job, he has been used to working under strict budgets, but he must be given a free rane to run the playing side of the club which includes players transfers, which from previous evidence must not be advised by Swann junior.
