Mick speaks… on 12:52 - Jan 21 by Mullet | Your first half is just blubbing, and blaming Mick for what some "fans" deserved. The second half is making up a load of old sh1te and putting it forward as my thoughts. You lot are responsible for the mess, so well done indeed. It's set us back decades. Imagine this type of set up starting from mid-Championship not a whole league below and half a decade later. Justifying it now under this guise is pathetic revisionism as per. |
Even had Mick never left I'm pretty sure we'd still be starting the 'set up' from this division. He may have worked wonders, but personally I don't believe he'd have kept us up for longer than another season, we were too far gone by then. |  |

Mick speaks… on 11:04 - Jan 21 by Darth_Koont | Mick was never the problem though. Other solutions were available but that’s a different much more nuanced discussion given Mick overperformed massively where others like Jewell and Hurst and Lambert failed miserably. McKenna has arrived within a club in a lower league and with massive spending relative to the rest of the league where the only way is up. Reasons for optimism, clearly, and we’ve had the luxury of building a squad with senior players doubling and tripling up throughout. And it’s generally entertaining to watch. But ignoring what Mick did, or saying we could have done better with someone else, seems a little bit of a fantasy. That’s clearly a reflection of how you’d like football in the Championship to be, not how it actually is. |
For me, Mick's biggest issue was accepting his lot here. I wish he had turned the pressure up on Evans, especially in January 2015. Our approach in the later years because tedious as well - the famous Skuse-Douglas-Hyam combination against Rotherham, for example. |  |

“Set back decades” - like we were progressive and going anywhere under Mick and Evans!? Haha! I think a lot of people will happily take credit for where the club is at now compared to where it was. As was said at the time, one step back to up two forward. “Revisionism” is a lazy word I’ve seen you use a lot before to blanket cover anyone who disagrees with you. Defending the Mick - Evans era in anyway shape or form just looks more and more bizarre as the weeks go by as the club recovers from a bleak period and begins to move forward with renewed vigour. |  | |  |
