Doesn't seem a great write up here mind after finishing 8th...

Was starting to come round to the idea until I read that. The below from one poster is particularly scary:
“Things I definitely don't thank him for:
Bizarre tactical decisions - round pegs in square holes, taking forever to realise when something or someone wasn't working, playing favourites and seemingly ostracising others, etc
Antagonising the fans with sly remarks, and being petulant when questioned
Sticking around way past his time despite saying he would resign if he was a burden
Horrendous second half of the season collapses, including pissing away our best chance of promotion since Venkys
Some poor signings, including an obsession with ex-Boro players and signing his mate's shit son
Misallocating his budgets in strengthening the wrong areas of the squad (no defenders for ages even when he said they were coming, spending 7 million, most of our budget, on a future project striker, collecting excessive amounts of players in one area of the pitch whilst neglecting others, etc)
Not bringing youth players out for dead rubber games on the scale it should be done
Being complicit in the blatant lies about the training ground plans, and being far less honest than is constantly made out
An abysmal attitude, at times, on the touchline and in pressers, that made it look like he didn't give a fuck
Relying too much on loanees even whilst saying we needed to build for the longer term
Extremely premature cup exits, every time
Overall, just not being good enough to take us to that next level (adding to this, blaming resources for it when teams like Barnsley and Luton have made the playoffs ahead of us and don't have a shining academy or our budget, and having made remarks that he turns down extra funds)”
