Exactly the reason former players shouldn't return as managers
I'd rather they'd be rememembered for their magnificent efforts on the field instead of the out of their depth efforts on the sideline.
If your going to go into footy managership then do the hard graft, & serve your apprenticeship properly like PB did at Exeter or JT is doing right now at Villa.
It's painful to watch & appreciate their efforts when clearly they're well of their depth .
So GJ had only been here 5 minutes eh ?
Well this PROPER seasoned experienced manager achieved the title in 30 games despite being 10 points adrift upon arrival & broke club records, made us fans happy again is approachable, & bloody good at his job.
Let's not return to the days of being a guinea pig club for ex 'ledgends' to cut their teeth football.mamagement, it rarely works ( as we've found out, regularly) .
And if we do happen to lose 3 on the trot, then it'll all depend on the circumstances surely? If we're shite with no way of being competitive then fine, moan, if we're just bloody unlucky then, ok, not a lot we can do about that apart from changing that luck around.
TUFC fans are no different from other clubs supporters in wanting & hoping to be winning each game but as you go further up the food chain then your morsels get smaller that's when a PROPER manager comes into his own.
I know what my eyes tell me from 40+ years of watching the occasional decent season, & having a manager who knows his level inside out is the key to success & with GJ in the pilots seat we have as good a chance as any one else in this league.
