He certainly wasn't the only one who seemed unsure about IL when he first took over. One has completely vacated the site, as he made such stupid and unfounded comments that there was simply no way back for him. Others have gradually, and rightly, changed their tune.

Someone did this on the Wire board dragging a thread up from early 2009 and there were a lot of embarrassed posters on there reading what they had said about shipping Briers off to Barrow, putting Michael Monaghan and King on the next plane home as they were only here for the pensions.

Oh golly...

Who was that?

Andy Greg?

No.

It was no-one of consequence.

I think this thread should be locked, to be honest.

I'm sure IL would rather be judged on what he's achieved now than on his performance in the first few months of trying to sort out Mo's mess.

RHJ aka Red Hot Jalapeño

Cruncher, are you related to Lenegan or do you know him? You always seem to defend him no matter what he has said or done and it seems like no one is ever allowed to question him.

Not sure if you noticed, but I asked for this thread to be locked to spare BK's blushes - he's the one everyone's laughing at here, not Ian Lenagan.

But I'll tell you what. Point out where you have problems with IL's reign, and I'll tell you if I agree or disagree.

Anyone who combs my website for similar match preview/reports boo-boos like this - is banned - simple as! :p

Indeed, I shouldn't have dragged this thread up, I apoligise.

No need to lock, it's a message board were people are meant to air their opinions. Even though I disagreed with what BK said (as I do most things) at least he stated his opinion and doesn't blindly join the happy clappers who roll out the "If it's good enough for X it's good enough for me" when we make a crapola signing, etc.

Hey this is fantastic, as stated it shows our feelings at certain times, BK wont, and shouldnt be embarrassed though he did slate the coach for getting rid of Mickey Higham and Mark Calderwood

This is what the off season is for, keep digging Paul

Don't mind in the slightest personally. If people want to dig up old posts then good luck to them. I very rarely regret anything that I post, the only exceptions being when I lay into someone a bit too much, or post things that come across as a tad too personal (normally after a few drinks ). Certainly don't regret this post.

However, as we are on the subject it's quite amusing how we have so many experts after the event.

I notice that no-one disagreed strongly enough to post at the time...........

PS I wasn't criticising the sale of Higham or Calderwood, I was asking where the CC money went. I think the point re props, given Nobby's play style is still valid.
