i remember him announcing upon his appointment: I know how to get a team out of this division.
Seems he wasn't lying.
Crap manager, crap CEO, crap owner, crap players. Explains why we are 23rd and going down.
Just such an unnecessarily risky appointment. Why didn't we just appoint someone with a proven Championship record like Coyle?
Steve Bruce - I said all along he would have done a good job, could hardly have done any worse, we are a true laughing stock !!!

Not sticking up for him at all but he wasn't even given the chance in the transfer or loan windows by Morgan.

9pts clear of relegation when you come in to a club with the 2nd biggest budget in the division.
And yet you get relegated.
I wouldn't touch Saunders if I was a chairman of a L2 side.

No comparison with Solbakken and Saunders as under Staale the players were undermining him and they have apparently loved every minute under "Deano". Even Saunders identified three factions (that's worth a thread on it's own).
I don't recall Solbakken ever picking a midfield as bad as Hunt, Henry, O'Hara, Ward which must be the slowest midfield in the division.
He had a certain Polish winger on the right before he got injured. In fact I would go so far as saying that was the defining event of our season, Peszko getting injured.
Wonder whatever happened to him?
the players should be run out of town with saunders at the front
