Enjoyed that. Pity they're not in chronological order.

JK was the one bright spot of 16/17.

Some legitimately good goals in there

I can't believe how low we'd sunk to have RDM as manager.
Was at Preston that game he got his P45 , what a bleak walk back to the car that was

When we appointed Di Matteo it was actually only four years since he'd won the european cup (even if that was a bit of a fluke).

Also managed in the Bundesliga and had previously won promotion from the championship so he was a name but it actually looked a solid appointment.

Until the season started and he looked like he'd only managed Sunday league level given some of the formations he was playing.

Yes I was at the Preston game and it was a classic "you're getting sacked in the morning" performance. Never in it and we ended up with about five strikers on the pitch at the end all just running into each other.

On 4 January 2023, Di Matteo was appointed as a technical advisor to the South Korean football club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. From Wiki.

Does that count?
