hmmm, well i have to be honest, it was hard pushed to find anyone at the time who thought he should stay. he hasnt covered himself in glory since he left either.
in my own memory, towards the end of his reign it put me in a cold sweat to think about him staying on. i wouldnt have him back either. i also wouldnt have dalglish back. in the end sacking both managers was the right thing to do. however AND THIS IS THE BIG QUESTION, was there an element of them being pushed out, just a little, by owners who no longer wanted to back them.?
every manager creates his own downfall imo, because every manager is backed from the start, however i think when the board start to waver, you have to be right for the job and good enough in your own abilities to change their mind. neither KD or RB were good enough to achieve that.
will BR?
I'm one of those who in hindsight thought RB was completely undermined by the then owners - under Kenny we went into free fall, he had to go.
Raffa for England eh??? Not a bad shout that..
