daft Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 6 minutes ago, Dale said: I think Dean was a far better coach for us than MON. MoN inherited a club in a better place, and signed some decent players and a huge amount of dross, could've should've is where I'd put him (never hit the target, breaking the top 4), also was a tbrowback who's time was running out in terms of approach from day 1 at the club. Prior to Dean; Gregory, Little, Atkinson were all decent for us! Possibly. But he didn't really deliver the same sort of high as MON did, and it felt a bit like we fell apart when he left. He did get some really shit lads to play well. But yeah, I mainly checked results during Smith's PL years, not so many games so I am on thin ice judging him.

The danger with this is he dangles the carrot in front of us, then takes another job after walking us down the garden path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely MON, given his record of actually winning things (the usual caveats) was of (at that time) greater pedigree? Maybe Ron Atkinson too? There must be others....

They probably don't want to trust Purslow after last time, and Sawiris (Egyptian, football is huge there) probably knows more about the game than Edens (basketball guy).

birdistheword Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 FWIW Shaun Custis on TalkSPORT was just asked if it was rubbish and he said his papers sources have heard the same. Think he’s the sun so maybe not worth noting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
