Well done RK

It always makes me smile when opinions are presented as fact. :icon_wink

Well if you truly believe in your opinion you will present them as fact, if you don't, you can't

Therefore, one can argue that RK is still a better shout than Dowie, Newell, Laws, Cotterill and numerous others who were bandied about as realistic targets.

I agree

Who knows what PT would have done, its irrelevant, a point interesting to me is that the other managers touted by people over the past 6-12 months are not doing any better at their respective clubs with more money and funding than RK has had, and in fact are doing worse.

Do you mean George Burley or Billy Davies ?

Not quite sure how you can compare him with Dowie just yet, and I don't recall anyone advocating Brian Laws

 

[highland fox]

I agree

So he's done a better job than Dowie has at Coventry,too early to judge surely

Probably not better than Davies - but we are unlikely to ever know.

Not many managers make it in their first year at this level with the expectations associated with the club the size of ours (especially with MM on board) - Roy Keane being a possible exception.

I have not got onto Kelly's back because I believe he is doing the best he can as a totally inexperienced manager on limited resources. Bottom line is though, it has not been, to date, anywhere near good enough in terms of performances and results and unless things change dramatically and consistently he will be on his way.

He may well make an excellent manager one day, but I fear it will not be with us. If we do not end the season with a barnstorming run, if he does not agree with MM's potential signings for the club for next season or if we don't start off next season in automatic promotion contention - then he will be gone. MM has no real option.

That wasn't the point

I don't think our finances could have covered his bar tabs.

Oh right...:icon_conf

Doing ok though aren't they?

Dong ok though aren't they?

Yeh pretty well. They'll go up via the playoffs. I think the 'bar bill' might be the reason the latest Saints chairman called it a day. :icon_bigg

And more management/coaching talent in his little finger than certain others will have in their entire lifetime.......

:icon_roll You are always on my mind Alex:icon_roll

Ahhhh that's lovely.... Thanks HF.

 

[Bilborough Fox]

Or November when he lost four and drew one......

Funny how that coincided with the take over rumours and then a approach. We lingered for 3 months and once it was all settled we returned to the October form. Give the man a bit of credit.
