Sheridan walked/alledgedly pushed under Corney's tenure after a shockingly poor start. Wellens lost the plot and took us down after a bright start, Bunn has never got the team going and we have slowly slid down the table. SO....which winning manager has he got rid of to back up your point? And please don't start bleating over Sheridan again.....you constantly repeat yourself and don't offer anything new. Alright mike chill out, no need to get tetchy. My point was if he finds the right manager, I’m not sure that even winning will keep said person in a job. Top of the league, he does or says something that AL disagrees with, and he gets the boot. I think he’s that fickle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Barry was running the show for periods when Corney went AWOL (he wasn't around the club for ages, I think around the Dazzler era. Worked out well.

No need to apologise for having a different opinion or thinking I'm annoyed...….which I'm not. There are more important matters to get angry about.

Obviously this disagreement only ended one way... If it went something like " Drop this one man O Grady up top shite" I am all for more influence. It's another bout of nonsense and I'll tell you why, every chairman/board member in every club in the land will tell the manager what he thinks, That doesn't amount to telling them who to play.

Isn’t voicing an opinions intended to influence? But like when all those boos (inexplicably as he’d been shit) rang out during the Baxter substitution. If the owner, a fan, the cook or a ticket seller says “O’Grady up front alone is shit” then that’s fine in my book. Up to Bunn what he does with that opinion. If the owner says you will pick player X over player Y or else, then Bunn should walk and expose it. Otherwise he has no spine or integrity.

If the owner says you will pick player X over player Y or else, then Bunn should walk and expose it. Otherwise he has no spine or integrity. Yeah I’d agree in the main. However, Its a fine line in a conversation. When is it asking the manager for answers/or influencing them. If a owner says to a manager- Why are you playing x upto on his own? Or why isn’t x playing. I don’t have a massive issue with that because A, I acknowledge it’s his money. B, I think it’s healthy for a manager to be challenged by his chairman- as long as they both respect each other. Opinion/suggestion/wanting answers is part of any healthy working environment IMO. Where is it an issue is if the owner demands players play. Or imply’s things will have to change if he wants to keep his job. That’s completely untenable. An you expect any manger worth his salt to walk in that situation.
