I agree with the first half of that

but I do think he t**tted us up the following season.

I think it's possible to respect his initial achievements and then to recognise that things were going badly wrong when he was sacked (even if we were fourth from bottom).

Also, everyone now knows that Gunn was the wrong appointment (although I do think that if Wessi hadn't got injured with a few games to go we might just have scraped fourth from bottom).
