I'd hardly call Iffy "a great man" he was a man...
...out of his depth.

He worked hard for the club and did a decent job with what was available. He started the job chasing 23 teams and for a while actually got us out of the bottom 4. The fact it went down to the last 2 games was a minor miracle given the way our season was going before

We played better here with the cameras here. Might have been coincidence but somehow I doubt it.

Just a reminder to say this on Sky Three later at 10.30 for those (like me) who didn't see it first time round.

it was crap, dont see how so many people loved Iffy though as he didnt have the passion you'd expect from a lower league manager trying to get his troops together!
Ron is still a dick though regardless cause just any old players is not good enough (West Brom).....dont get me wrong anyone from West Brom probably would have walked into the team, but not necessarily their 18 year olds....and you need to strengthen the positions necessary, not just anybody!!
Either way I had some more respect for Iffy after watchig but felt he was well out of his depth and glad he never stayed on as boss.

I thought Iffy came across poorly. Very stubborn and closed off. Completely out of his depth.

dont get me wrong arriba he seems a good bloke but who are we to say thats how sky wanted to portray him,he did act and say the things we saw on camera and we cant deny that,imo he acted like a spoilt twat sitting in the back of the car telling ron atkinson you cant cut corners etc.
dont get me wrong i think atkinson is a knob aswell and thats probably why they clashed

no fool,but the job came at the wrong time for him.was running the c of e as well as the first team for a while last season.
he gave his all for stfc!
dont think he looked a fool anyway myself,its just how sky wanted to portray him.big ron is and looked a bigger idiot . i could see through the programes agenda.he did fack all at here and peterborough so they dressed it up as best they could to show ron in a better light, and make it look others faults for not using his input.
