It's very easy picking the ones that work when you've given yourself 30 years of football. But how many more are there of the likes of Brian Tinnion at Bristol City last season, who was on course to getting that club relegated to League 2?
It would be a terrible gamble. Why would he make a...
Because it isn't that many. I don't doubt that Revell was isolated, but that doesn't mean we were playing 4-5-1, it just means Frutos and Loft were not effective in ther assigned roles.
It doesn't really matter what you or I think, because we aren't going to agree on this as you are so far gone on McGhee that you would have the mascot Gully over him, it's more important what the chairman thinks, and I refer you to this post by Lord Bracknell on the matter:
Are you seriously saying Loft and Frutos played at the same depth as the midfield 3 before the switch to 4-4-2? Anyways, I'll be able to check for myself when I get a tape of the game tomorrow.
Adie Boothroyd did not "start" at Watford. He was a widely respected first team coach at Leeds. For longer than 7 games. How many more times does this have to be explained :rolleyes:
Because he's only coached adult players for about 7 games? Let him show his abilities as a coach first before totally murdering his career with a grossly premature step up to management.
Because football journalists are paid professionals, and if they describe it as 4-3-3 I'm going to go with their views rather than someone like you who I have previously found to be somewhat erratic in judgements about football.
Yes, we can afford to give McGhee the money. But that money will come directly out of the little pot we have to get players. As we know that small pot is not getting us players right now, I admire your optimism that an even smaller pot of money than that will be able to do so in future.
Absolutely, I do believe we can freefall, but the sure way to do that is by plunging the club into turmoil with management change gambles. McGhee has a threadbare squad but there are few other managers who could get much more out of these players, and whatever the excitable ones say on here, we...
Well, the rather basic fact that our financial situation will worsen if McGhee goes prematurely, as we will be having to pay out for two managers for the rest of the season.
Adams operated predominatly at League 2 level for us. Taylor bailed out on us because he said the job could not be done with the finances we had due to the stadium situation. Coppell got us relegated.
Dick Knight confirmed at the Fans Forum a few weeks ago that McGhee now has less financial...
Once again, when presented with the key fact that Sheff Wed were able to spend their way to safety and we weren't, you completely duck the salient issue of finances.
