rudemedic Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) That and some would say he's bloody overrated. He got a big spending Peterbrough promoted from League 2 to League 1 by having money, he got them promoted from our league to the championship by being bloody lucky with the signings he bought, a lack of injureis- (they'd would have been if Makail-Smith or Boyd got hurt) and still having more money to spend than a lot of teams in our division last year. I knew they would struggle this year- not because of him (well not solely on that basis) but because their goalie is one of the most rated players I've ever seen at this level- he was cack but got into an England squad/team, his defence whilst looking OK had some major flaws which were going to get find out and the likes of Makail Smith and the other striker, Macloed is it, were not going to get the 2/3 chances they needed to score in the championship. Oh and while yes you can buy promotion out of the Championship you need more money than Posh have to do it. Ince was found out at a higher level, Fergie Jnr has been found out, it is not that hard to manage a team with their resources in the level they made their name, both could perhaps make it in the future but management of a bad team is hard and they both had bad teams. No doubt he will be on the bench at OT before long unless some other mug decides he is worth his reputation. EDIT Quick thought despite what has been said above how do we know he hasn't been sacked for something other than a performance related issue- its not like he hasn't got previous.

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just stretch your imagination to its maximum, and let's say we get promoted this season, via an unexpected purple patch, taking us into the Play-offs and getting 0-0 in both semi-finals and the final at Wembley, and winning on penalties. Then next season, we start with BP full and enough additional people moaning outside to fill a 16,000 capacity stadium. Then we're never out of the bottom three all season. What do you think would be the consequences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoytonBlueLad Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think he will appear at another club very soon. He threw a paddy when he couldn't leave in the summer. He might well have done the same again. I mean it's not like it's a family trait or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, maybe he can spot a good player but he had the money to do so, who out of our current squad have we paid more than £100k for- Posh paid over double that for Makail-Smith. Everyone makes a big deal out of the fact he got players from non-league and got them to perform at this level but he still paid a fee greater than what we have paid recently they aren't going to be bad players if you have to pay that sort of cash for them, maybe they just needed the break that Posh and their money could provide. I will admit I may have an agenda and that agenda is seeing people earn their reputation- it has always fascinated me why people think just because you were a good footballer you can be a good manager. It doesn't make sense to me and I don't think it ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got them promoted twice but what I'm saying is a lot of people could have got Peterbrough promoted twice the skill is keeping them at that level. Some managers could do that I reckon, Posh have realised this, and have worked out that you need a different skilled manager to keep a team up as opposed to getting them promoted and have made the most logical decision to achieve that. He might not be a world beater but he has a Premiership medal, an European cup winner's cup medal and a few caps- not exactly a mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Not surprised. Was talking to a Posh fan on the train back from the game at London Rd last year and he said a lot of their fans (including himself) were still undecided on him, despite being on course for successive promotions. With the budget they had a lot felt their success wasn't much of a surprise regardless of their manager and the true test would be how they'd do if and when they got promotion. Strange decision to lots, except those at London Road. Perhaps in the same vein that other fans seemed stunned when Shez was sacked last season...many at BP wanted him out and even those who didn't (myself included) weren't surprised he'd gone.
