Next.
Okay I will bite.
What did Billy Davies do except screw the club over?
Did he get us promoted?
He got us several great seasons of entertaining playoff football.
Something which I've sorely missed since, and which no manager has been able to touch.
Hell before Fawspaz stupidly undermined him we were top 6 all season with Simon Cox up front, Halford at CB and numerous other shite players he got lumbered with. Davies would piss the top 6 with this squad.
Don't worry, I'm under no illusion that he'll not return. It's just sad that the reason he won't is because there's thousands of daft sods out there, including owners & board staff, who think they can get better for a club like ours, despite now being on the TENTH attempt to.
Facts are 10th attempt, no manager has matched what he did in the league since.
Several ?
Yep, several.
2 under Doughty, 1/2 under Fawaz & a nats nacker off taking us from 13th to the playoffs after taking over from SOD.
There's absolutely no doubting his record. Folk can dislike him all they want, he aint coming back, but the absolute stonewall fact is the man has NEVER finished outside the top 6 with any side, Preston, Derby or us, given a full season.
For a club so desperate to be a top 6 side it's amazing that folk would sooner us spunk 25m on a manager to float around mid-table all season. Then they wonder why the club is declining.
It's all irrelevant, Davies is too unfashionable for these Greeks, but if we want a guarenteed the top 6 finish next season, just employ and back the man who's never finished outside the top 6 in a full season. It's not rocket science.
Two and a half then .
Hardly several.
