I am amazed how much he seems to have bonded with the fans, given how completely uninspiring he was. Compare him with Adkins – who would convince you north was south, backwards was forwards, that everything was possible. Dean would come on the radio after a defeat and sounded like his world was about to end.
I appreciate he was dealing with issues off the field but I never got any sense of leadership from him. If he can’t excite the fans, is he motivating the players too?
