I was very vocal in my lack of support for GP in the latter part of his tenure. My problem was his ego and his wish to 1 day manage every single other club in the world. Anyway my biggest problem was when he claimed that we had reached our ceiling. This whilst we were in the midst of a play off push to the premier league. I genuinely believe Gus was in saying this was attempting to get the shown the door.How could we have hit the ceiling? We were ****ing brilliant. Being a fickle fan i thought we were on a fine footing and when Gus was sacked i was extremely pleased. Fast forward 18 months and i think we can all see that we have not just hit the ceiling, but blown the whole roof off. I hate to say I am wrong (because i never am) but i was completely wrong when it came to my lack of support for Gus. Seeing what a shambles we are in now makes me think of all the good times we had under his tenure and how much i miss his style of football (there i said it). He was'nt perfect but he knew how to motivate a team. Something Sammi Hyypia will never be capable of. Be careful what you wish for.
