AB did pretty well in winning promotion and handling the side in the NL. But – I do still recall that dreadful Autumn. He seemed to dig his heels in and deployed tactics which had been thoroughly sussed.
I wrote a fair few times on Bru pointing out the weaknesses and – in particular – warning that dismissal was very possible with his way of looking at things. I advised with methods to avoid getting sacked that most supporters apparently agreed with. (I have been involved in sackings in my working life and truly do not like to see anyone ever get the boot.)
However, finally, we came to that appalling game at home to Alfreton. The performance was shameful and I reluctantly switched to demanding his head on a platter.
Happily, that wasn’t necessary and promotion was achieved. (Nothing down to me at all, of course, but more to the myriads of fans singing from the same hymn sheet.)
We seem now to be seeing an echo of that Autumn.
It seriously worries me that AB appears to learn little from past mistakes.
