Usual suspects. Funniest thing I've ever heard. You being the number 1 suspect cocker
As annoying as the orignal poster can be, there is an element of truth about the hoof ball Deano introduced. Its not pretty to watch,yes it can be effective in League 1, but IF we did get promoted we would need a complete re-build.
Southampton got promoted without having to resort to hoof ball. They then got another promotion the following year to the Premiership playing the same way with a lot of the same players. Go figure.

It was coming along before he buggered off to Wolves, and you can't deny that. He even knew we'd need a rebuild, he said something along the lines of having to build a side for the division you're in.
I'm not saying no team ever gets promoted playing football. Very few do it, though.

QuoteI'm not saying no team ever gets promoted playing football. Very few do it, though.You could also add Doncaster Rovers to the list with Southampton that have managed to get out of League 1 playing proper football. Saunders is obviously a hoof ball merchant. If we had got promoted with him at the helm we'd have come straight back down. Far better to do an 'Adkins' and start as you mean to go on. I hope Flynn gets the time but suspect he won't.
As 'fenwa says, Flynn's remit is to take us up essentially. If he fails to do so, will you treat him in the same manner you did Saunders when he couldn't keep us up? oh.
Oh God. Who let this buffoon in this section again? Having destroyed off topic, are you going to let him do it in here too now?BobG
QuoteI'm not saying no team ever gets promoted playing football. Very few do it, though.You could also add Swansea to the list. They've gone up the divisions playing the same style of football regardless and just look at them now. So I don't accept Mr Saunders view that you can only get promoted by playing hoof ball. It is lunacy to build a side and then let it know that once it has gained promotion you are going to bring in lots of new players because you have done your job and are now to be disposed of.

What a pile of shite the OP is. We're not a hoofball team. From what I've seen, we seem well able to mix our game up. You can't say the same of life under SO'D.
