I’ve lost count of how many manager we have had over the last twenty years. The clamour of fans to get them sacked has always bothered me. The fact that some of these ‘terrible’ managers have proven themselves by being successful elsewhere, is a case in point. Look at where Mark Robins is now for instance, doing very well at Coventry. Could it be that he is getting better backing from their board? Or perhaps they are letting him do his job without interference? Maybe both.
I don’t believe how far we have fallen, but really can’t see the same thing happening next season. So let Dean have his chance, bring in his own players on real contracts, and see how he gets on over a longer period of time.
