Success for waht he did

Failure for what he represented.
A chance to improve the paucity of talent around him, that gave rise to the need of his goals to simply stave off relegation.

Am I allowed to judge in context like that?

  - How could anyone ever regard Earnie as a bad signing? (NCFC) - Old Git, May 8, 17:10:05
    - wrong signing, badly timed, didn't fit the squad, didn't do us much good really (NCFC) - pants, May 8, 17:20:13
      - We needed a goalscorer = he scored goals (NCFC) - romayellow, May 8, 17:44:11
        
        yeah, and imagine someone having to inherit a that squad without him? (NCFC) - pants, May 8, 17:45:41
        
        Grant by that point was signing a lot of 'his' players (NCFC) - romayellow, May 8, 17:50:49

        SUPER PETER GRANT (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:53:42
        
        nah he just WAS the worst norwich manager ever (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:47:12
        
        to be fair he never saw the impact earnie had (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:45:25
      - yeah 27 goals in 45 appearances was poor (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:23:22
        
        15 love (n/m) (NCFC) - Tomblander, May 8, 17:25:03
        
        For the team as a whole, very much the wrong signing (NCFC) - Iwan Husarmi, May 8, 17:30:45
        
        so you'd rather he scored less (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:33:28
        
        Er....yes. Are you unfamiliar with the concept of "team"? (n/m) (NCFC) - Iwan Husarmi, May 8, 17:35:43
        
        not really (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 8, 17:39:13

        See again, Chadders is a worthy signing for me (NCFC) - pants, May 8, 19:41:30
        
        even unofficially it was under Grant that he came to us (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 8, 21:10:40
        
        I think of Brown as something to do with Worthy too (NCFC) - pants, May 8, 19:21:33
