Quote ="Adeybull"Or, if you prefer a half-full glass as opposed to a half-empty one:
Had we taken the additional point at Leeds - as we so easily could have (just one more kick going over, nothing more than that even...) and had we not been stricken by lurgy and so ran out of steam at Hull, but taken the points there (for example) then we would have been joint second. And THEN what progress would we have been talking about? And had we played Hudds after the team had had time to gel more and taken the points we narrowly missed out on there, then we would have been clear second.
If.
We are back to Auntie + Balls = Uncle. But your argument can work both ways!
Incidentally, there are not many hailing Macca as a "Brilliant Coach", or suggesting there are no better alternatives if we had a Moran or a Davy or a Lenaghan in the cupboard. But what I do observe is that we seem to have a lot more realists now, prepared to consider the situation a bit more objectively.'"
Hooray to all of that Adey.
We are no longer the Mr. Moneybags of the Caisley/Noble era; what we are is solvent and living within our means(which is more than a few clubs can say) and you're right, more people are beginning to realise it, so Ill give an extra 'hooray' for that.
As someone who has stood behind the coach all along, I don't know whether he is a "brilliant" coach either (neither am I qualified to judge, btw
but I do know he's pulling the club round from the abyss, and having spoken to him, I believe him to be a genuine and sincere bloke who is busting a gut on the club's behalf. He is also a guy who deserves our support.
I, for one, hope Steve stays at the club. Maybe there are others who could take the club forward, there probably are, I really don't know, but we seem to be on the right track and I think that Steve would be the best person to finish the job he's started.
