I think people think King was only here last season. In 03/04 when we were 15th I was confident we would do well and in the end we came good. King did well that year because in his time he had got Parkin, Smith, Evans, Mooney, Migs and others together to make a strong side.
Iffy hasn't had the chance to do that yet and to be honest I am not sure that he will do. BUT what we can hope for is that Iffy continues to get the team playing in their current form and that will keep us up. And given the position he was in to start with, I would consider that a damn good job,
Id agree with that, but for as many people who only remember King last season alot of people only remember him by his good season.
He was never liked by everyone and had mixed fortune with us, but he did some good things and some not so good things.
The start of this season wasnt good, the 03/04 season was..
I'd say that's a fair summary. I'm all for getting behind the team and Iffy now because the last thing we need is negativity but I just don't like it when people make out it's all perfect now, whilst it was awful before because it's just not true.
At this stage in 2000/2001 I wasn't a big King fan but he got my support by keeping us up, then taking us forward and signing the type of players I like to watch and getting them cheaply, despite near impossible circumstances at the club.
If Iffy does similar then I will give him just as much support, keeping us up is the main thing I'm judging him on and I think he's capable of it.
