Im not,I expect I hated Sturrock at the time. I pretend to hate all our managers when they first come so when they eventually fail I can say "I told you so" Its a tactic commonly known as doing a DV  |

Well I dont think weve been the same since Dennis Wise left.
Talking about managers that fuck off at the first opportunity. As soon as we stopped winning, he was off-ski. He even did the same to Leeds(scum). That said he did a good job of getting the players fit. As for Sturrock, he came in, did a good job & left when he got a better offer. Won't be remembered as a Great Manager for us, but wasn't the worst either. Interesting that people complain about the poor football when he was here, but we were getting better crowds than we had for some time, because fans want first & foremost to see a winning team. |

He's lost his buddy at Plymouth and he's lost a fair chunk of the fanbase (from what I've read) too.
I believe Plymouth will struggle this season, by this I mean get relegated but I thought this last season too so shows what I know.
Paul Sturrock did what he was supposed to do at Swindon and I thank him for it.

I clearly remember Yeovil being dead against him in fairness. Personally, I liked Sturrock a lot. I agree 100% with BR when he says the club has not been the same since Hoddle left. Gorman did his best and then the heart was ripped out of the club by the Scouse Mafia. It has never recovered IMO. |

I think he would have got us up either this season, or next. We all know it wouldn't have been pretty. Can't imagine him doing anything of note with Plymouth now, although that's not to say he's not a very competent manager.
If it was a straight choice between him and Wilson, at this moment in time I'd go for Wilson. I think Hartlepool will rue getting rid of him in the next year or two.

Good manager, and did a job for us. But I never really bought the 'returning to my spiritual home' argument when he went back to PAFC. How many spiritual homes can one man have?
He was God to Plymouth fans when he went back...and now it sounds as if the story has taken a bad turn. Best argument for not returning, in my view. We should leave our idols as idols, and not give them the chance to show themselves for the mortals they really are.
