From his column : "I was always determined to bring success and even cleaned snow from the pitch when we had a game the next day to ensure it would go ahead... So did another 200 Town fans helped clear the snow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21750537 |

I believe in football terminology this is what is known as a 'come and get me plea'.
Is it possible to say 'I' so many times in an interview and refer to himself in the third person. Bless

Good luck to him. He may not be the humblest of guys but he backed up his hubris with action and results. I loved the attitude-change he instilled around the club and I admire his desire to be the best he can be.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and all that but some town fans have pretty short memories.

Hang on - is this actually happening? Nice to see 'Paolo Di Canio's BBC Sport' helping him out though  |

Agreed although in terms of 'short mammories' mine relates to the period November 12 - February 13 when i reached the conclusion that his ego meant that the town were well down his priorities, and I didn't really enjoy my team being managed by a petulant 15 year old girl. Before that i would have agreed with the adoration spouted on here. Anyway looks like PdC is moving on, I await the BBC documentary with interest. |

It's your opinion but I hate the whole 'fans with short memories' thing. We're all grateful but he's yesterdays news now. Steve McMahon guided Town to a league championship within a higher division and he's histories biggest monster.......  |

I like the way the BBC are getting value from my licence fee by stretching pretty much the same set of quotes to fill two stories, saying largely the same thing, "I'm the best there is, all the success is down to me, the players were nothing without me, gimmee a job" into two different articles on the same day.
Even the papers tend to wait a couple of days before the recycle to fill column inches. Having both of them on the same page at the same time just looks mental.

I think my point re short memories was that the gratitude you refer to seems to have been quickly forgotten by many judging by some regular negative comments.
McMahon took a squad which had had several players who had recently played in the Prem and got us promotion. He also got us relegated in the first place. McMahon never built up a rapport with the fans. I don't think you can ever compare the two and it'll be sad if that happens over time.
Totally agree that PDC is stfc history ... so maybe we should stop starting threads about him, which will reduce the PDC sniping and subsequent defending etc.

The McMahon comment was tongue and cheek.
