If I may respond to a couple of his quotes...
Absolute utter nonsense, the entire article smacks off bitterness, well Graham, if you and Neil weren't so utterly useless at your jobs, you wouldn't have been sacked. Be it football, retail, medical, transportation etc, employees get sacked all the time for being useless, its part of employment, deal with it.
This really irritates me. We weren't playing like Barca or Man City, we were always misplacing our passes, aimlessly inept defence, our midfield was pathetic, and our forwards non threatening, and there was no great style in our play. We were terrible to watch, these clowns thought we were great.
They ruined players under them, not improved them.
These frauds didn't understand the first thing about football, which is winning. You can try and achieve the second, the third, the fourth, but the whole stack of cards collapse unless you win games.
A manager should manage the team to the best of their abilities, not what he believes they should do, but what they can do. They failed on basic man management, they failed on basic talent recognition. Their tenureship was an unmitigated disaster, a text book case study of what not to do.
