what? IMO Grant was doing a crap job

I said it at the time and got lambasted for it. I was right, he had no managerial ability at all.

IMO Fozzy was not up to the task, I was very very wrong. and had judged the player to soon before he had a chance to get used to playing in the Championship. I have learned and will not judge other players so quickly.
