Vice President wrote:Evans or Flitcroft.
Steve Evans had us on course for promotion until he walked away. (He is not a nice person and he can't be trusted, but he would probably be the most likely to get promotion quickly).
David Flitcroft after a bad start got us going again, but he faltered at the end. I still think that he would be a good 'long-term' manager and would get us promoted eventually. Sacking him was a big mistake.
Adam Murray & John Dempster are not up to the job and they both have the same problem. They are too timid/negative in their tactics. They have not shown the belief, confidence and leadership qualities that are required to lead a successful promotion team. And that has also been shown in their results.
Paul Cox did a great job getting us promoted from the Conference. However, I am not sure that he could take us to the next level. But he is better than Murray/Dempster.

Cox would have fared much better had he been able to either keep Green or replace him adequately. Palmer, although a solid choice now, wasn't back then. I believe we had Sir Calvin Andrew and Ben Hutchinson as well.

Fatty Arbuckle improved nothing and cost us a fortune.
Cox couldn't move up.
Flitcroft failed twice and got stuck in one system.
Dempster simply isn't up to it.

Cox showed he can't manage league teams with his one dimensional hoofing, Muz and Demps are both far to negative to succeed at a club with ambitions.
In an ideal world, i wouldn't have any. Never go back!!!

How many times do I have to go through this? 4th is higher than 12th.

Gazza you're getting obsessive now. We know you love Flitcroft & hate Evans and it's clouding your judgment. When Evans left we were not 12th. Evans left us in the same position in the league as Flitcroft did (or it may have been one place different), either way you're wrong.

Evan's wasnt perfect and yes he walked out but given the choice I'd go with him over the others. Flitcroft blew it twice and the 2nd time was unforgivable.
Really though I wouldn't have any of them.
