Reid never got anything wrong he did what he wanted to and sometimes just to make the point with the fans taht he was in charge ( Kilbane, Dichio / Bridges)
The 2 7th places were the opposite of our Premiership survival years great fron halves very poor back ends. Indeed if we had any sort of form Chelsea would of went bust because they wouldn't of qualified for Europe.
I think it speaks volumes that the 2 7th places are thought so highly given how shit we have been for a depressingly long time.
People forget his relegation and stubborness that put us there.
He got lucky with Phillips after Reading.
We only survived the previous season before relegation because of Norwich europe run and games caught up with them.
He must of bought more CH's than any other manager, limited pool of players given he tended to buy them same place.
The summer before relegation he just moved the deck chairs around and went for a piss up on telly in Japan for the World Cup. It was embarassing and he should of been sacked then but really showed his arrogance.
That relegation was down to him and him alone no matter who took over the die was cast.
He left the club near enough bankrupt spending silly money on palyers without any thought.
He never got any hassle from the media with all his mates Sky / BBC and they just laughed it off.
The stark reality is he left us the same place he found us, a lot poorer and pitied
