Grant got off relatively lightly compared to Allardyce given he was incompetent and we were bottom three all season, probably because we did try and attack, especially at home. That shows performances, or at least an intention to play attacking football, have always been important. Yes people wanted him out but there was not the same level of negativity towards him as there is Allardyce IIRC
:lol:
Coruchy you should have been on here then my friend , let me tell you about dear old Avram .
I was , by the end, the only poster on this site ( 17,000 registered users) that was defending him .I actually enjoyed quite a lot of the football under him - I'm not a pro so watching Obina fire it high wide and handsome from 35 yards was fun - we'd had a shot !
I got slaughtered on here pretty much 24/7 for the whole season .
Which is why I won't listen to others whining about the style of football these days .They got the Manager they deserved .
So you know , I was the first to call Sam out on here for style .We had just done Watford 4-0 away and I wasn't happy with how we had played .
The plain truth is for the vast majority of fans good football is when we win , crap football is when we don't .
Now, I've changed my mind on Sam as I can see a little bit more about what he has tried to do and the constraints that he operates in are signficant , so I'll cut him some slack , and i wish others would as well .
