Again, you're proving that you can't bury the hatchet. Jim Duffy

deserved 3 games to see if he could do anything different, just because it didn't work out, doesn't mean it's a mess

It ties in with my point, wheres the patience? Slagging our board off because they allowed a coach 3 games to see if he could turn it around, yeah, what bastards they are

Grant was also widely accepted inside the game as a good candidate. And we were all very pleased with him at first

He also got some good results in his first season, but when players left and the ones that replaced didn't match up we turned on him

Roeder's in the same position, accept we're not targetting him this time, we've decidied to turn on the board instead

Any other year, it would have been Roeder
