The most interesting manager and period of our recent history. His qualities and faults were both just so extreme - such a tactical caveman, with a club culture that would have been embarrassing in the 90s, nevertheless I can't help but remember what Dave Woodhall once said: if you accept how bad his minuses were, how good must his plus points have been to get us as far as he did?

What would you say now?While he was here his myopic approach to signings ruined any chance we had of cracking the top four and he chose exactly the right time to walk out in order to cause maximum damage to a club where he had been the most powerful manager in the Premier League and who he left the first time his absolute authority was challenged.
