Ok, so the criteria for a good manager would be what they did a few years back, ignoring what happened in the subsequent years?
I actually said I think he might be good for Leeds, its just ironic that our manager gets untold flak for his lack of performance, despite saving our club from relegation to the 2nd div - at a time when no other manager would have touched us with a barge-pole, then gets us to the play-off final. Basically doing better than any reasonably objective/realistic Leeds supporter would have expected each season. Whereas those same critics would welcome someone who had relegated their team from the premiership, and then despite having a chairman who allowed him to keep his best players and strengthen the team, does a worse job than our little manager. Put it another way, if a decent motivational manager who has the financial backing of his chairman, has a team that didn't get embarrassed in the premiership etc etc "only" finishes 6th, and gets knocked out of the playoffs in the semis, then why should we expect our clueless/crap manager to do any better than that? Not only that, he wasn't even sacked by Jordan, he only left because of family reasons. So I wonder what Mr Jordan would think of a manager like Kevin Blackwell who did better than his own manager? Why is it that those of us who think he has actually done OK are seen as being in the minority or as idiots? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:leedslist- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 23 May 2006 14:10 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [LU] Post-mortem > > > Made me laugh when someone on here proposed getting Dowie in as manager. > > Well, he dragged Palace from near the bottom of Div1 to get promoted, > didn't he? > > Gaffer > > > _______________________________________________ > the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators > accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors. > Leedslist mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.zetnet.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
