He achieved several 6th places and a few Wembley defeats.Whoever gets the job doesn't have overly much to live up to,so even if spending is limited he won't have to set his sights too high, maybe 6th or higher, a good cup run, setting up a decent scouting network, unloading a few overpaid players and coherent post match comments. I doubt,KM, excepted that such is beyond many on the list so why be so concerned.Despite leaving at an awkward time, MON did a bloody good job for us. Yes he had his faults, but i think a couple of years down the line, we'll look back and appreciate what he did. I already do.I don't. I'm left with a feeling of complete frustration of what could have been if Martin had not been so bloody loyal to Robertson and Walford. They really were the millstone around his neck. He spoke several times about trying to improve the way we play but there was very little evidence apart from the end of hoofing last season. Even possibly more frustrating was he'd called Kevin MacDonald up this summer to help out with the first squad. Maybe he was finally beginning to realise we needed help with the coaching or maybe he was getting ready to pass over the reins. We'll never know.Given the amount of money he was given to spend, sixth place was the minimum we should have expected. What is disappointing is that in four years in charge, we rarely ever looked like a decent top 6 side. It was all about week in, week out, digging out the results instead of improving the team whereby we could step it up a gear if and when needed. Hopefully the new manager, whoever he may be, will get us playing to our potential and get the points on the board. As I said many times last season, we're not half as bad as we pretend to be.

I blame MON. He made his little Mark Hughes comment at the end of the season awards dinner and when Hughes was finally appointed at Fuhlam MON fucked off. Very classy. Thanks.
Who are the several future internationals he gave away?

Houllier may be a canny appointment. It's not going to be long term, but he could give KMac the benefit of his many years experience, whilst setting up a foreign scouting network. Then in a years time, perhaps Learner will bring in the man that he really wants and able to offer him a club thats in a much healthier position with regards to challenging for honours.
also i am sure KMac will still be Manager against Stoke.(not too sure about this)
