Seemed like he lacked contacts (like erm...fletch) and signed players who he knew from his City days- and those players weren't exactly world beaters.

I wonder why a loss against Argyle seems to bring about more managerial sackings than would appear to be the average or norm? Is it coz losing to the 'likes of' Plymouth Argyle is considered the very last straw to most boards of directors? Wink

I was about to say the same thing Hitch, it does seem to be the last straw for most directors being beaten by Argyle. Very Happy

The footballing equivalent of being chinned by a woman!

I think it was being bottom of the entire football league after 12 games that probably did it, over losing to little old us.

more of a coach than a manager

If he had been as good as managing as he was a defender then he wouldnt have a problem, not overly sure what went wrong there, afterall he has over seen our youth, and we have a good half a dozen that will play at a higher level, and last season we done very well in the Prem youth cup

Hope he gets another chance in management

Yep. Probably coincidence.

Losing to Argo at home does always seem to be the last straw for an under pressure manager. It's seen as totally unacceptable.
