How many years ago was that, and how many jobs has he had since chief?To be fair to Dowie since relegation from the Prem only Nilsson, Black and Robbins have a better win % than him. Although that might say more about how consistently shit we've been than anything else.
@ Torchy and covmark....... What are you two bringing to the table?... As usual fuck all!
Not sure why you are attacking Torchy, he didnt even respond to your post.
Re Dowie, I thought he had too many tactical defficiencies to be a decent manager and although he and Flowers could motivate a team, you need more than that, and a plan B. Sadly we dont seem to be able to get manya managers who have a plan B.

Well yeah, I wouldn't have Dowie....
But Adrian Heath and Andy Thorn could be a good shout.
Hughes was solid at Fulham, not a fail at all. I would say the opposite and call it a success, had one season with them and finished 8th in the premier league which was superb for Fulham.And anyway, as has been said, sometimes a manager can just be a good fit.
Look at Mark Hughes. Win ratio with Man City was 46% (he did spend £270 million though).
His win ratio was then 32% at Fulham, so a fail and then 23.5% at QPR, so a massive disaster.
Based on that, who would have him you would have thought? But look, he is at Stoke and has a brilliant win ratio of over 40%!
Sometimes managers are just a good fit and I would be fine with Robins coming back here.
I didn't realise that Fulham spell of his was in the Premier. Thought it was the Championship.Hughes was solid at Fulham, not a fail at all. I would say the opposite and call it a success, had one season with them and finished 8th in the premier league which was superb for Fulham.
You really haven't got the hang of this have you.
Is he related to Owen Farrell?
And you haven't got the hang of respecting other peoples opinions either!
Some opinions are worthy of respect, others are not.
I respect your right to hold an opinion but not necessarily the opinion you hold.
So no, I haven't got the hang of blindly respecting opinions and I don't intend to try.
ALL opinions should be respected. One may disagree with someones opinion, but it should ALWAYS be respected.
Why?
@ Torchy and covmark....... What are you two bringing to the table?... As usual fuck all!
IMHO...... You should respect differing opinions enough to listen to them and then decide whether they are worthy of further consideration. If they are not, then feel free to ignore them.
Reading this thread for the first time just now all 13 pages and it baffles me some of it.
TM and his team are the best thing to happen to us for ages and we are 1 win tonight which is our game in hand of being in the top 6 with 11 games to go and we are really having a thread about how and when to get rid of him? Wow
The run is abysmal I've not seen one comment to the contrary. But that's football. Teams have bad runs especially ours. Would any other manager have us higher at this stage of the season? Not for me. Judge him over a season. Aren't we one win off last years total already?
TM has picked Cov up from a cert for league 2 football to play off contenders for the championship in a year. We know him pedigree and we know he sways players who shouldn't be here like Armstrong and Cole.
Some of the results and football over this season although not currently has been amazing. People have short memories and what if TM strikes back and stars winning again? It's all short sightedness which has got us no where in 15 years. I'm sick of it. TM would manage any club in this league and we have him.
Couple of bad results and bad months but bloody hell let's see out the season and see where we are.
Hold on, I thought you respected opinions. Lying again?

To be perfectly honest KoK, if it wasn't for the great start, we'd be in the bottom 4 struggling our a**es off to stay in this division
Is ignoring something respecting it then?
I did make a suggestion. I suggested your idea of reappointing Dowie was a bullshit oneWhere did you or Covmark make any suggestions to the thread? Slagging off a poster and liking the slagging off brings nothing to the table Torchy! So I'm not lying. I was stating a fact!
That's where your lack of breeding lets you down Samo. ALL opinions should be respected. One may disagree with someones opinion, but it should ALWAYS be respected. I disagree with a lot of opinions on this forum, but I respect those opinions.(Still with me up to now?) So what YOU in turn are saying,if my opinion turns out to be the right opinion and yours is wrong, you're not man enough to accept that my opinion, and not your opinion is the right opinion, and therefore not respect my opinion, goes to show that when it comes down to opinions wether right our wrong should not be a respected opinion, because you're a disrespectful t**t.....IMH Opinion.!
