Quote: AntonyGiant "He claimed he'd improve us dramatically and hasn't done. He's had the time he claimed he needed.
Anderson was sacked for one bad season after many competitive ones.. though he hadn't been in an injury crisis like that while he's been coaching.
He never had the opportunity to bounce back.
Get rid at the end of the season for me if our style of play and attitude hasn't got any better ... extending his contract will show us we are accepting what is on offer.'"
I’m not sure what happened with Anderson. I think there was more going on there than was ever made public.
On results alone, he deserved a chance to turn it around. If you look at a combined league table over his period in charge, we were by far the best team in the league. We were on the verge of breaking through, which would have made the club IMO
I think there was obviously a lot of bad blood over the business with Ferres. But there was also the clear statement by the board of no ambition over the World Club Series. Mixed up, those two things crushed the spirit of the club imo.
