Thought he got shitty to the play-offs?
He did, but after the 3 or 4 seasons he was in charge there they were still in the 3rd tier where they were when he arrived. That's not a record of sucess.
And he did indeed get Wednesday to the dizzy heights of 12th in the prem in his first season, lifting them all the way from 16th the season before, but spending he spent a lot of money the club didn't have to do it.
He got rid of Di Canio (who was the clubs best player despite being a thoroughly unpleasant twat with a Il Duche obsession) and Carbone and brought in Jonk, DeBilde, Sibon and the lads from Celtic who hardly kicked a ball for the club. All of them on long contracts and on big wages and they were all a bit shit. The next season they were careering towards relegation when they binned him off. Down they went and they lost a fucking fortune on his signings when a load of players had to be offloaded to trim the wage bill.
As a result they nearly went down again the next season, then finally toppled into the 3rd tier the season after. They're now completely fucked financially.
That's a fucking heavy price to pay for a four place improvement in league position in your first year don't you think?
I'd rather have Andy King back. At least he knew a decent player when he saw one.
