Quote fun time frankie="fun time frankie"is there some glory trophy winning years I missed out on before sandercock came he has a similar sort of record to Morgan yet Morgan is treated like a God'"
It’s not really fair to compare, but…
Morgan got us up, kept us up, got us into the play-offs and won a play-off game. It was uneven at times, but it was definitely progress and it was all new.
Sandercock got the ‘transitional’ brief. It turned out to be a tough one – there were a couple of SL quality players coming through the ranks, rather than the cohort we hoped for. And the quality available from Australia was not quite what it had been. The board have given him more money to spend this year, it seems, but the honeymoon period was over already and it hasn’t exactly been a great leap forward.
Morgan made mistakes – the two year extension for David Mills, for example. But a lot of CS’s signings (and players he gave extensions to) haven’t worked out for one reason or another.
While it shouldn’t matter, Morgan engendered a much greater sense of optimism, a feel good factor. Mind you, his worst year for injuries was probably better than Sandercock’s best.
Sandercock has done okay-ish. Just about. Under the circumstances. People at the club will see what he does behind the scenes and I can only think that the offer of a new contract is based heavily on that.
