Post Brian I'd agree.

In my time back to 1971 McGhee gets the vote for third place. He took the club from the lower reaches of tier 3 to the top of tier 2 with no money of sorts to spend (unlike Pardew) and with a very stylish playing style.

He's certainly turned into the best we've had since Brian. But then a block of cheese would have a chance of that seeing as they'd be competing with:

Adkins, Clarke, Stam, Clement, Gomes, Bowen, Paunovic and Ince.


LOL yeah, 10 full time managers in 11 years.
Stable.


I'd say it's quite a consistent strategy.

Selles must be mentally drained. Why stay in a job where it's little more than treading water. I'm sure another club would happily pay compensation.

Agree. It's a matter of time and no one can blame the guy. He will leave and be loved afterwards.

It's such a shame as he looked happy, settled, a bond with the players and fans, looking forward to a new stable start and an actual future to build on.

He'd lost players without consultation. He'd been swindled and lied to, not paid, deceived, etc

All would have been a memory had this deal gone through.

Now though it's going to be the same and no light at end of the tunnel. Not a chance he'll stay and I wish him nothing but success.

I suspect he'll be thinking it over. If he leaves, the team will fall apart and probably some careers will finish before they've started. We as fans have supported him and we have nowhere to go. It will negatively impact so many people if he leaves. He needs to weigh that up against the toll it's taking on him.

Plus, doesn’t the club need to accept his resignation? Didn't Pauno get forced to limp on after asking to resign?
