I miss Jim 23:19 - Feb 11 with 917 views | Coastalblue | Yeah I know Mick was great, and he saved us and we performed miles above where we should be, but I'll be honest I never really warmed to the bloke and whilst I never joined in anything against him and always respected him I wasn't that bothered to see him go. I hated Keane with a passion, before he came, while he was here and ever after. PJ was just like a sad joke that kept on getting sadder and funnier. PL has flattered to deceive, briefly, and then gone down the PJ route. I've not really felt the same way about the club since Jim went if I'm honest, though I guess there is another common denominator there. | |

Despite over achieving results wise it felt like he was sucking the life out of the club like a dementor. With Jim, he loved the club and was part of the Burley years. Compared to the clowns that followed, he was Klopp/Guardiola! However, he was a major rant merchant and you could see players shifting to the other side of the pitch to get away from it. But in reality, he wasn’t the greatest, as shown by his subsequent appointments. The last good manager whose teams played football and excited was Royle who did amazingly well in the face of Administration and player sales. ITFC was still a proper club then. | | | |

McCarthy started the rot in his final season. | |

No, I'm interested to learn how you came to the conclusion that leaving us with a side capable of finishing mid-table championship is responsible for Hurst(who dismantled said side) and Lambert(who's flattered to deceive, at best) being utter, utter, utter dogsh1t. | |
