I think you are spot on with your last statement (not sure how to make it bold)

1. Never said that I was against the decision to appoint him in the first place. Have said that the board make a mistake in appointing him on a permanent basis - they are supposed to be near to the 'coalface' and took the easy way out.
2. Not sure you are right about saying the board getting loads of stick when at the point when they apparantly rejected Newell etc. By that time I think RK's stock was falling and I think there would have been mixed feelings.
3. In any case the board is supposed to make good decisions and sometimes these have to be 'hard' and less than universally popular.
4. The main issue is that the team continues to underperform with Kelly and he lacks communication skills and he also seems to set very low objectives e.g. the 16 points from 16 games and the repetitive clutching at straws from unconvincing performances.
You said.. "By the end of season 2005/6 that had become widely obvious" [that he wasn't right for the job]
Yet only a few matches before the end of the season you said he should have been given the job permanently.
So will you tell us exactly when you feel it became "widely obvious" that he wasn't the right man to be given the job in those last few matches of last season - and why you didn't say anything about it at the time?

I was also in favour but then I am not a chairman who should know better.

So football club chairmen are infallible just like the Pope? I think someone should tell him.

I would be interested to know why you think the chairman should know better. He would have had little more information at his disposal than we did at the time he had to make his decision.

well, I was in favour of kellys appointment based on the choice been him or levein with a review in the summer so a till end of season appointent so I didnt totally agree with what the board did, after the decision was made I then said we should back kelly as he is now in the job.
The board spoke with newell, none of us know the reasons why he wasnt appointed I would expect it was either due to newell costing too much or him turning us down due to lack of transfer of funds or even both, davies was clearly for the taking in the summer but derby beat us to the punch. As others have noticed our results did drop off at the end of last season before this season started.
After the start this season if I was on the board I would certianly be reccomending a change of manager, maybe I am impatient but I cant see kelly turning it around in a major way even with funds.
