Grant is the only manager to take Chelsea to a champions league final, also only missed out on the title by 2 points i believe, but was sacked mainly due to his lack of charisma compared to mourinho and the fact he wasnt a big name manager.Puff Daddy wrote: Should have made the right decison and drawn up a better list in the first place

4. Did super good to get to a league cup final with the very same 500m squad...and lost
5. Doing another fine job at West Ham...losing

In response to this yes i was aware and i agree with what you said in your other paragraph about Portsmouth, but all this any manager could have got them to the final really does my head in.Puff Daddy wrote: In answer to your points: Firstly, did you know that Grant has never taken the reigns of a club from the begining of a season before ?
How much of a success and how attibutable to him was it that he took a team of superstars to a Champions League Final? Would not many another manager have done that too?
I always thought Redknapp was slaughtered for his off-field antics and his character. Neither of these things are anything like Grant. Redknapp is slaughtered because he is a horrible man, I don't think his football record has much influence on opinion.Modern wrote:All the things people praise Grant for sound like the sort of things Redknapp gets slaughtered for IMO.
You've mentioned this a few times. Under Grant, Pompey played 25 league games, winning 5, drawing 6 and losing 14. You may have mistakenly coounted the cup wins which of course do not provide points. His points per game ratio was 0.84 which based upon a 38 game season would have given Pompey 32 points. This would not have saved them irrespective of a 10 point penalty.stu1 wrote:2. As stated his points per game ratio would have saved them, people forget they lost something like their first 6 games and they got a 10 point deduction, what the f*** do you expect with every decent player from the first half of the season being sold in january.
Some of the sh*t on here is f***ing embarrasing sometimes!

Players getting c***ed off left right and centre, people thinking they could do a better job after a few lonely nights playing FM. What is going on?
We are meant to be f***ing SUPPORTERS, but apart from a rare breed, I have seen nothing to show people are supporting our team,, just a bunch of whinging pussies that need to get out more and actually realise just where WHUFC stand in the football status quo.
We ain't Chelsea, we never will be, but jesus, some of our 'supporters' now days are certainly acting like clueless Chelsea fans.
I'm back off to PM forum, the company is better.
For f*** sake, TURN IT IN!!!!
