Title: I never knew this!
Post by: janaage on Monday, May 22, 2006, 12:22:50
Adi Boothroyd was applying for a manager's position last season and got turned down by....


...Oxford Utd.

What a shame, he goes up to the Premiership whilst the shit go down to non league, brilliant!!  They were better off with Talbot eh?

Not really, get it together you lot. Kassam would have probably got slated if he did appoint him- no experience, cheap option etc.

Most Watford fans were against the appointment. Hindsight and all that.

Hindsight is what makes it funny Dave you spaz.

What?  

Yeah, Kassam would have got slated at the time.

They wouldnt be in the conference now though

They might be. That's like saying we'd win the league if we had Mourhino.

How can you possibly compare the 2 clubs, other than that they play in yellow?

Fuck, Iffy might walk his next team to promotion by March, thats not to say he did much good here...

Obviously theres no proof either way and we'll never know.

The basis for the comment is Boothroyd > Talbot. I dont think many people are going to argue with that with the hindsight of Boothroyds 1st season

But prior to the appointment, Talbot > Boothroyd.

Unless Kassam's got a crystal ball which he ignored, he probably made the popoular choice.

True, but what we should be concered about is that popular choices are not always the best, as this scenario proves

Didn't Freddie Eastwood actually chose to sign for Southend rather than sign for us?

It is the hindsight which makes the fact Oxford turned down Adi Boothroyd funny,  it's like you had the opportunity to appoint a new decent manager but they chose to appoint a journeyman of a manager who only made things worse for the scum.  Class.

All hail the Kassam, is he a closet town fan I wonder?
