Big question for JP

[1965onwards]

Will he be able to sigh and blow out at the same time like Burley did?

 

Or do Dutch coaches receive a different first lesson at coaching school?

[pedg]

Total breathing... Able to inhale and exhale as required.

[Thedelldays]

please, dont...just the mention of burley and SFC in the same thought makes my blood boil...possibly one of the most underachieving, let down of a manager we have had...possibly EVER.

[1965onwards]

I would like to see a manager go for the long sucking in thoughful approach (in the best possible taste ,of course )

I can think of one immediately who is infinitely worse...

[Fowllyd]

Think Martin Jol, but without the distinctly scary resemblance to Tony Soprano. So, plenty of odd-shounding eshesh in hish shpeech I'd think - it'sh a Dutch thing...

Are you thinking Branflake or Twitchy?

[Petersfield Saint]

Redknapp surely? At least Branfoot gave a f***, even if he was sh**!!

[Professor]

After relegation, Redknapp lost interest. He could have done better and his going was a relief, but it was lack of effort, not lack of ability. Burley just did not seem to be up to the job, in virtually ant aspect you care to think about.

[Saint_clark]

Burley wouldn't have left had he not received the Scotland offer, don't anyone go thinking that he "sacrificed himself for the good of the club".

wow surely you are forgetting Wigley & Gray and Dodd and Gorman.....

[trousers]

I think a 2 gold star award is a tad harsh for this thread. 3 would have been fairer IMHO

I know. Getting us to the playoffs with pretty much the same squad as was nearly relegated a year later was pretty poor really.

 

I think the problem with a lot of these threads is that people seem unable or unwilling to differentiate between a persons ability and their personal like or dislike of an individual.

 

Maybe part of the lesson was to see what happens when a board gives unequivocal support to a manager. I always maintain that who is in the boardroom makes little difference but some of the signing we have had over the last couple of seasons hace clearly been expensive mistakes - particularly the loans (although I'll admit I thought they looked good on paper at the time).

 

Enough though. We're (nearly) all feeling quite positive about the new season so let's move on in harmony! COYR
