He didn't even have to be like Gregory and get us onboard with a series of merry quips and witty one-liners - just keep his gob shut. Instead he seemed to go out of his way to alienate everyone.I think that. I also wonder if he had resigned as soon as the season ended in 2006 would he have got a job with another club the following season? Would the general thought have been that he did his best with Doug and deserved a chance with a mid table top flight club?

I assume the arsehole did not get the job with claret & blues?
Thanks eastters!
Less of the old please...there are people on here listening.
eastie, do you regularly wink like that at people in real life? Like random passers by in the street. "Good morning madam. Nice weather we're having"
