Must Mcabe and co feel for saying Clough found "the 3rd division harder than expected" in his interview after appointing Adkins!
 



I meant in the context of how his successor has performed
hes performed well below what anyone expected
a lot of blades fans got giddy over the appointment, saying it was a good one
McCabe probably was of that opinion , , not defending him but he was misled about his competence as much as most of our fans
I expected much better, but hes deteriorating every game
 
Mccabes criteria for new managers

Is this guy cheaper than everyone else ?

How much less money will this guy cost me than the other options available ?

Which of the candidates is most financially cockthrobbingly viable ?

I reckon it cost a fortune to pay off Clough and tempt Adkins. I vaguely wonder what Clough might have done with that money if he'd been given it. Either filled the gaps in his squad, or bought another Jimmy Krankie for the midfield. Who knows.

McCabe and the board have pushed the boat out financially for both Clough and Adkins and certainly did not go for the cheap or penny pinching option . However even when doing this we still cannot get it right .

We do need a confident , up front , charismatic manager in the Warnock mould being a bit off the wall, with league 1 division experience . The thinking mans manager does not seem to work at the lane , as proven with Wilson . Weir , Clough , and Adkins .

Can only think of one bloke , he is out of work , and fits the bill of working at a place were the patients have taken over the asylum. May not be everyone's cup of tea , but beggars cannot be choosers .

I think for every manager we have had since robson there has been a better more expensive but attainable option we have chosen not to pursue
Wether that be because they play too much golf or just because they are under contract i dont know
 
Clough is a better lg1 manager now than when we offered him the job. He accumulated a lot of shit but id say he knows how to win ugly in this league, something we lack currently.

I'd think with Kevs track record that's well down the list of stupid things said. He's done worse.

Much worse.

"Here's your contract Bryan, if you'll just sign on the dotted line."

"If you say Lee Hendrie would be a good signing Bryan, I'll take your word on it. I'll see if he'll accept £20k a week."

"Give it to Morgan. Worst case we'll only be up against Yeovil in the playoffs, what can go wrong "
 
"Because we are so well managed, we will avoid ending up like Norwich, Southampton or Leicester"


I give thanks in prayer for this pretty much every night.
