Player Valuation: £70m
I think berating sam on the fact that he has won nowt is a bit unfair. He has been the manager that turns up to clubs to stop a slide..he has never been given a real chance to achieve anything, no big budgets...no star players to work with. He has basically been hamstrung with relegation fodder for years..
Do i want him at our club...well no ...
but to say he hasnt been succesfull in the roles he has been given...I would say he has.
Maybe but he lowers expectations to make himself look good. Boxes off certain games as losses beforehand. He is a negative manager, at least try to win football matches he's just talking us down to his level(he put us in the bracket of West ham) and managing expectations. I want to at least hope and try for better, even if it doesn't happen, not be told to get back in our box and be grateful for average and lump it. This acceptance of mediocrity filters through the entire club and for years before him so its an endemic problem from the board down. But Sam just reinforces it and that attitude will just cement us here in perception and reality. Standing still is declining in football. We need to strive to be the best we can be not accept our lot. You will see fans drift away from the club if they have no hope, because for many fans hope is all we have even if it's naive hope.
