Well he talks crap ,as a manager how often would he have been involved in anything to do with any council?
More than you I am sure

Why,why would he need to?
He works in football and will observe how other councils treat their clubs and how ours do. Talk to any ex managers post HR and they will all tell you the same.
No Grendel he knows what he's told by his employers end of.

Although if he had said he left because of Tim Fisher bullying him, it would be totally true I guess.
What's his replacement's most recent record like before he got the Huddersfield job?
He is a better manager than Russ Wilcox
Fair enough point proven Robins is the real deal
No need
It was ridiculous of you to suggest Robins....
" performed at a level Huddersfield would always find acceptable"
When they sacked him on the back of losing 15 of his last 25 games and getting beaten 4-0 on the first match of the next season.
They obviously didn't find it acceptable
Debate over thanks for coming
Correct as usual Nick.
Embarrassment level - RFC
Chris Powell? He was sacked by Charlton as they were bottom of the league in March.
He wasn't/isn't a failure as evidenced by his predecessor/successor at his respective clubs.
No I did not I said that the league position was acceptable for them as a club. If fans had unrealistic expectations due to the exceptional start he made then that is clearly something the fans have to live with.
Remember some fools on here though Andy Thorn was a real football manager.
Some fans just fail to see what stares them in the face.
The more telling thing about Thorn's managerial competence was his stint at Kidderminster which after not even a month ended in the fans wanting him gone and wanting the predecessor back. Some achievement.
It's incredible actually that most of our fans were taken in whereas the Kidderminster followers saw him for exactly what he was.
It's something I will never ever understand. He should have been hounded out by September when it was obvious he was contributing nothing.
Yet idiots still kept saying its the best football we've seen, he is ahead of his time, no one can do better.
Some people really are stupid.
A competent manager would have kept the team up that year, no question. We'd still perhaps have been relegated in the seasons afterwards but not that year and not in such dismal fashion. The decision to keep him for the 2012/13 season was even more misguided and we are still paying for it.
They weren't his employers when he said it
Oh dear
Apparently Alex Ferguson or Mourhino couldn't have done any better.
