I get where you are coming from, ie circumstance, profile, what they achieved over what they did wrong etc
To me Simon Davey and Brian Laws have held the hardest jobs around, and have done so with considerable dross, espeicially Barnsley's side
When Laws lost seven in a row last season, just think whether any, and I mean any manager here could survive on that statistic
We chuck out well before the s**t approaches the fan, never mind when it hits
When Gunn was appointed here, the fans went quiet, the animosity had to end, it was Gunn, it is Gunn. How could anyone start throwing s**t at Gunny, it's gunny?
Yet when it's someone no connected with the club, it's perfectly ok to start slinging the bad atmosphere at them the minute the results don't come
Then the board react at that, when they've got no balls whatsoever, the only interest they have is saving themselves.
It didn't surprise me that in naming gunn as manager, that the other two left
It's the legacy of this board, if it isn't the manager they're firing, then it's someone else they are blaming
I appreciate the intent in your question to ask me who was good enough to stay. My answer lies in the people who chose them, not the people they let fall on their swords without a second glance from those who did to see if they had any loyalty in them
This club has turned rotten, and quite possibly always has been, it's just the pr machine behind delia has allowed us to think it's all love love love we're doing our best
In that sense, I've always said I admire Delia's explioits and business management
She's managed to use this clubs profile to further herself, whilst actually taking us to the depths, and even after she's done that, her pr machine and her social standing still has her stood like the angel of Norfolk
