The mad one has surreptitiously edged his way into the nudge out DF camp - after being the man praising the heavens for having, in DF, a 'proper manager' at last!

If you expect him ever to admit, on any footballing issue, that he has ever got anything wrong, you may have a very long wait.

All these players that weren't good enough for the Championship - why didn't someone feel like mentioning it mention it to Dougie Freedman when he renewed their contracts and/or made their loan deals permanent? And since when did Coyle sign Jermaine Beckford, or Craig Davies? (there are others, but I'm hoping in vain that a manager with some semblance of ability might actually set-to in the task of actually managing instead of whinging all the bloody time.)

Probably as long as for people to tell SmokinF he probably called it right :evil:

Just in the same way that those who defended Coyle to the rafters when he was very evidently sending this club back to the dark ages in the most appalling manner and spending a fortune doing so haven't ever come out and said "hey you were right and we were wrong".

But whatever.

I thought Freedman would turn us round. He hasn't. I don't believe it is as black and white as people are making out and were it my decision I'd stick with him for the forseeable because I don't see a way out right now. However, I was wrong he hasn't done as well as I thought and ultimately is now taking us backwards. Does that make it better?

This is exactly the thing I don't understand, anyone who was negative towards Coyle for most of our relegation season (I include myself in that, I hated Coyle after the way we collapsed post-Wembley) were shot down and told they were wrong and deluded. Now, it's completely reversed. I think if we sack Freedman now/soon, we'll get someone worse and we'll be relegated next season if not this season. Again, I get shot down and called wrong and deluded.

Makes no sense to me. I think it's plain to see that Freedman isn't going to take us forward. I just think replacing him will take us backwards.

a1 speaking words of great sense, there.

Not just about Dean Holden, but about the fact that Colin isn't really a very good manager.

Someone like Karl Robinson (MK Dons), seen the highlights of them against united last night and they were very impressive, used possession well had plenty of it & pressed united when they didn't, it's one of the major flaws with us!

not really true, though - as BWFCi has admitted he was wrong more than once... most recently over Beckford.

BWFCi also admitted he was wrong about the quality of the Bolton squad when we came down - having formerly said it was simply an ace squad managed by a turnip... he admitted quite openly that he got that wrong...

all in the interests of fairness...

maybe - but I don't think BWFCi is noticeably any less likely to admit wrongness than any other forum member I can think of - WtW and myself included! :wink:

Not really. There's a particular kind of poster who seems to have an inbuilt idea that being wrong is something to be ashamed of, rather than something normal to be learnt from. I have no idea where they get it from.
