Look at his cheeky smile. How can you not like him?

So Iffy or A.N.Other can officially be appointed manager now?

king can fuck right off now. glad we're rid of the fella to be honest, once and for all.


*waits for ben wah to pipe up and defend his favouritest manager ever*

 :nod:  :thumbs:

ben wouldn't do that. he's far too rational

I wouldn't be so sure. I'm just gald the situation has been sorted and now we can move forward

It's precisely because I'm rational that I can see he did a good job for us.

are u trying to wind down for the weekend by bating people on here ben?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

There's no bating.

In each of King's three full seasons we finished in the top half of the table despite huge financial constraints, he made a £500k profit on players and took us to the semi finals of the playoffs, where we lost unluckily on penalties.

The wheels only began to come off when the squad he'd built had to be sold and he was only allowed to offer one year deals to replace them.

Not to mention saving us from relegation against the odds in his first year.

Those are facts and based on those if you look at it rationally King did well for us, disagree all you want but my opinions have solid and rational foundations.

I'm not bating anyone and I'm not asking you to agree either but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree with what you think.

BWB applies the rationalism of Descartes and Leibnitz, in his postings on King.

 But we don't live in a rational world....its clear shifting people from their prejudices involves more than just being right.

King did the best management job the club has seen in a while. But the club has moved on and so should the fans

 :D

Anything more than £30 and i'll be pissed off.

BWB is rationally correct about the history and achievements of King, who unfortunately for him had an unpleasant manner  which certainly upset a section of  fans and seemed to have a bad effect on some players. We have moved on to support Iffy in his efforts, but I was against  the sacking of King at the time and still think it was the wrong decision at the wrong time.

King has to have been one of few Managers to have the fans split so badly right from the day of his appointment.  No Manager would survive without continued success in that situation.  For me he went too late (if they wanted rid).  Towards the end of the previous season would have been better to allow someone to apporach this season properly.  personally, never rated him highly as a "Manager" and I think (says praying posts at the time are not contradictory) was of the same opinion even in the Play Off season.  Thats was not to be confused with wanting him out asap all the time.

Iffy, for the same reasons, either needs full season backing or replacing now.  Personally I'd keep him and I'd like an experienced coach to be brought in, or someone above him (if he'd accept that)
