Can't help but think he's going to struggle to find another job at this level for a while.

Leeds fans couldn't bare his football by the end of last season. I couldn't bare it again either. Great bloke, over-achieved here and will always be appreciated, but I don't want to revisit those tactics again.

He'll get a middling champ job fairly easily I'd have thought.

I loved the little baldy feller, but I don't want to go back to him as manager. He had his own team that played for him, as soon as we reached the Prem, the big name charlies came in ie Pog and Guth who didn't like him then the fans got on his back and it all ended a bit sour. I truly believe if Nigel gets his own team we could do alright.

In many respects it was worth putting up with this abortion of a season just so that people would finally properly appreciate Brian.

Fully agree. Yes sometimes under Brian it was not pretty, but he got results. Saved us after Brendan, then play off final, then champions.
Probably hard done by under anton.
Nigel....hmmm well yes I appreciate he has not had the funds, but more than enough talent in that squad last season to have done better.
Still not sure he is the right man, how many games have we won since he came in?
I for one would have Brian back if Nigel goes.....

McDermott and Coppell's day here is done. Adkins has the seat now and if he left we'd be better looking forward to Dolan or someone new than looking back to Brian. It can never be the same. We've already had his legacy tainted a touch I'd rather not risk destroying it with a second spell maybe going wrong. It would be agony.

It beggars belief that people still slag off McDermott's style of play, with squads deprived of their best player at the start of every campaign, following a season of utter dross from Adkin's and his £16m parachute payment.

His defences can't defend and his tedious obsession with passing rarely produces more than a handful of chances/ shots on target per game.

Given the numbers here who can't wait to stick their heads where the sun doesn't shine, Nige must have the biggest arse in football.

It's not just McDermott I'd have back in a flash, I'm hard pushed to think of another Champ manager I wouldn't swap Adkins for.

This guy has achieved absolutely NOTHING since the day he walked through the door..........................and in my book that puts him on a par with Burns (RIP) and Bullivant.

Perfectly logical and truthful post from Woodcote. You cant argue with anything he's said.

As for Semtex, you appear to epitomise the shear spasticness of our support these days. Congrats.

You can't argue with it no, but not because it's accurate, because he lives in a completely different reality to everyone else. It's so one eyed there's no point arguing with it. You may as well argue geology with someone who thinks the world is 6000 years old.
