Yep, i agree with that, but the new Board is the big factor, isnt it.

The huge mistake was when we appointed him with half a Board in place. Crazy thing to do (and not just with the benefit of hindsight, either).

What I dont understand though, is why it took until now for McNally / Bowkett to sack him (cos it was him, I think we could be sure). I guess the 7-1 was the "I told you so" to Delia that those two needed.

Speculation of course, but not hard to imagine.

      - Exactly, its lunacy. If the guy is on ice THAT thin taht 1 defeat is enough to sack him (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:13:56
      - Come now - you're deliberately not getting this now (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:13:14
        
        the mini pitch invasion may have been the tipping point (NCFC) - Tombs, Aug 15, 12:24:30
        
        Yes, its bollocks. What did we gain by letting him have ONE game. (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:19:20

    - as soon as possible would have been the close season. (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:15:17
      - As I said (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:17:41
        
        Rubbish. Proved wrong? From 1 game? Thats not ruthless its cowardly (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:21:28
        
        Why on earth is that rubbish? (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:25:55
        
        I don't believe anyone was proved wrong from saturday. (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:30:32
        
        Fair enough old bean (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:31:23
        
        True yes, that IS a good point, early is good. Just maybe a week too early. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:35:38
        
        we'll never know if we would be 14th (NCFC) - Charles21, Aug 15, 12:20:40
        
        Agreed. I'm not angry we replaced him, I didn't want him. Its how and when for me. (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:24:21
        
        Charles, you're talking as if he was refused entry to the bar (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:23:51
  - He did have 21 games... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 11:57:59
    - Ok, my point is (NCFC) - Charles21, Aug 15, 12:04:19
      - New Board were prepared to be proved wrong (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:19:20
      - Spot on. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:15:55
      - Yes, the Board screwed up, but Gunn is not blameless in this. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 15, 12:09:17
      - Yep, i agree with that, but the new Board is the big factor, isnt it. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 12:07:58
        
        That depends on how quickly they thought the new board would fall into place (NCFC) - Iwan Husarmi, Aug 15, 12:20:31
        
        In which case somebody at some point needed to sahow a bit of guts (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:17:53
        
        But they've shown the guts now! (n/m) (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:21:00
        
        Except for me they haven't, at least not the key people, the majority shareholders (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:27:33
        
        So you don't want him, but you're projecting two wins out of two (NCFC) - The Judge, Aug 15, 12:29:05
        
        You want the truth? Neither am I really! (NCFC) - megson, Aug 15, 12:32:49
