Iffy isn't to blame for us going down, the players are. He wasn't given alot to work with where as Wise probably will as we now have a certain Mr Powers in.
Good luck Iffy where ever you go.

I don't remember seeing this "Iffy will be in charge of the first team next season" quote from the board.

I think Iffy would have learned a lot next season and I think we would have done well, but also accept that that would be a gamble. The board have taken a tough decision and while the appointment of Wise is also a gamble, it does at least show that the board are ready to make big decisions.
I feel sorry for Iffy, but glad he has walked out with some dignity and wish him well for the future. My only worry now is that Dennis Wise ends up as a new Neil Rudock, but it should at least generate some interest in the club and get more people though the gate - probably its a good thing, but i'll wait and see how we play..

I don't remember seeing this "Iffy will be in charge of the first team next season" quote from the board. Neither do I. To my knowledge, no one ever said the words, "Iffy will definitely be our gaffer next season - FACT!". All comments on the subject were suitably vague as far as I can remember. |

Iffy was always going to have a tough job but the reality is we went down and it was going to be difficult for him to stay in a job especially with Power on board.
The club needs to move on from the King era and I don't think Iffy was able to do that. He may have been able to do it this season, but the club needs new start so it's hardly surprising he wasn't kept on.

Iffy's an intelligent man and I'm sure from the point that Bill Power came on the scene he must have known the writing was on the wall. It can harldly have come as a shock I wouldn't have thought.
Maybe it could have been handled better, I don't know but football is a cut throat business where people are treated as a commodity. That is the nature of the beast.

Bill Power was on board from February wasn't he?
This coincides with the downturn in form, did iffy know the writing was on the wall all the way back then and was the loss in form merely a coincidence.
Ha,ha I'm a conspiracy theorist and I talk bollocks.

Heard iffy on the radio this morning, thanked the fans and said we were magnificent to him. He seemed ok about it, I wish him loads of luck for the future. I'd love one day to see him as a really successful manager. Great bloke, deserves it.

I find it hard to criticise what he did here as he was given very little to work wit and got a team starting to play well.
Having said that, I would have chosen Wise and Poyet over him.
Good luck Iffy!

I think we all agree, Iffy was a sound man with honest intentiosn but unfortunately as others have said, football is a ruthless business (sadly losing the sport element at times) I wish him all the luck in the world.
As someone metined as long as we do not have another Ruddock scenario, I'm all for Wise, and I think that Powell is wise (excuse the pun) enough & experienced enough for that not to happen again. He may be small and cheeky but I believe he's got the fire in his belly and the want to achieve, after all he wouldn't have come to a league two club (for his first proper job in management) if he thought he wouldn't be able to really give it a go and get places, have the backing etc!

I pretty much agree with that. As much as Iffy did (debatably) do, when you have somebody like Wise available to step in it is hard to stick with Iffy.
