Gee SCREAMER !! Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If we had a fit Barnes for that full campaign and keep Oakley we pick up another 10-12 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 One thought that has popped into my mind, is that everybody has talked about whether we should have sacked Billy or not. In reality we didn't have a choice. He was angling for it very early on into the season, and we saw that pattern again when he was at the Trees - twice. And it started with talking up the need for the board to back him in the transfer window, gradually getting more and more accusative until the board have no option but to get rid of the mealy mouth monster who is effectively bad mouthing his employer. He knew exactly what he was doing, and cynically perhaps the only reason he would take a job was for the pay-off he was going to engineer for himself.

europia Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'd rather not hear about it. I've erased that season from my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single person, board, Management and squad associated with that season deserves any praise whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way this one will get put to bed is a return to the PL and stay up for the first season. Not much to ask for really ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Should have sacked Billy on the Wembley pitch, told him to make his own way home. £10m on Claude Davis, Kenny Miller and Rob Earnshaw, that was his master plan. Ugh. Jewell should have been sacked the second he asked the board to buy Robbie Savage. I would have taken any member on this forum as manager that season over Billy and Jewell, any member and we still would have gone down, but with more points that I have no doubt.

IslandExile Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 All those saying that we shouldn't have sacked Billy Davies are wrong. We should NOT have appointed him in the first place.
