VMT, it was staid safety first football

No risks taken, very little forward passing or movement.

And he turned some good players into absolute basket cases, like Mattsson, Fisher, Darling.

Let’s not forget that by saying ‘sacking me won’t change anything’, he was basically saying the players were crap. Great motivation.
