Its not the first time we have been turned down then? Out of curiosity did we actually call off an appointment with McClaren due to fan power? Or is it the press (Sky Sports) actually making that one up?
Have to ask the question .....would we be in the position we are now in the Doug era?Yes he got slagged off but the majority ........ but money was spend ...maybe not enough BUT the club was a businessAs for managers ...well I don't recall ever being in this mess ...maybe I will be proved wrong and all will be revealed ...but I doubt it somehowI am basically very disappointed with whats going on as RL/PF I am afraid are just not football peopleBut Doug would not have allowed this to happen ...yes he had experience of managers but the club have had a few in past year and we don't seem to learnIt was clear to all that GH was going so why was a manager not lined upDoes this show that Doug did have some idea after all?

Why would/did he do that?I'm not arguing, incidentally, just curious. It was too young to care about what happened off the pitch, it took me a long time just to find out what a Mita Copier was.
