You know it’s possible to think a manager was brilliant for us, but still be critical of a specific thing they did, the two are not mutually exclusive? If your favourite band brought out a **** album, would you pretend you liked it, just so as not to be seen to be critical of anything they’d done?
Sandwiched in between the Lokeren games was a game against stoke where we played for 80 minutes with ten men. obviously sir Steven and his coaching team knew **** all about managing fitness of the players and should have played whoever some weird ****ing no mark on here thought he should have done
Snodgrass, by his own admission, was knackered when we bought him 'Snodgrass can still barely believe the circumstances surrounding his long-term injury. The pain in his knee was there throughout the latter stages of his near two-year spell with Norwich but he battled on and felt back to his best when he moved to Hull. The Barclays Premier League season could not come quickly enough for the player, then debut day arrived – and bang, it turned into a disaster. Snodgrass said: “My knee had taken an absolute beating. “People who have cartilage injuries get through them and, when you are in a relegation battle and fighting for your lives, you don’t put your hands up. The physios at Norwich helped me a lot and really got me through things. “When I had the summer rest before going into Hull for pre-season, I thought it had made a huge difference. “However, straight away in pre-season I felt a pain but never expected what happened next'.
The thing is CM , both managers that you mention were good for City and laid the foundations for us to be a PL club . However Peter T thought it would be easier in South London and Steve B lacked support from our owners and went elsewhere , since then !
It all started with PT - Jan Molby and Brian Little weren't bad managers, they just couldn't handle the expectation of a club that was dying to be where it should be; despite what the naysayers spout, Peter Taylor was the first one to handle that expectation. All hail the man - for guys my age, the 4 - 2 at Hillsboro' was pretty much as good as it got; all those who'd seen years of ****e (a lot more than me), all those who cared about the club had been waiting to turn up at that kind of ground for that kind of night - I was there and wouldn't have missed it for anything. Peter Taylor gave us (and Boaz Myhill the game he talks about more than any other) that night. My no. 1 City manager.
Jan Molby was a bad manager. But he's forgiven as he signed some incredibly important players for us.
