and where do you think the money will come from to"get in the players he wants" whoever he might be?
To finish this off, in recent decades we have played in League One under six different managers.These are their records at League One level, in descending order, from best performing down to the worst performing. The top two are slight outliers given their relatively modest number of games.Dean Saunders - 26 games and 50 points - 1.92 points per gameBrian Flynn - 20 games and 34 points - 1.70 points per gameSean O'Driscoll - 86 games and 135 points - 1.56 points per gameDave Penney - 97 games and 140 points - 1.44 points per gamePaul Dickov - 52 games and 67 points - 1.28 points per gameDarren Ferguson - 50 games and 50 points - 1.0 points per game

Quite simply, they were not.
Okay well if people are drawing a conclusion that Flynn was a better manager for us than O'Driscoll then I guess there isn't really much more to be said on the matter. It's a frankly ludicrous assertion, but I wouldn't say I'm entirely surprised we're heading down that line. I don't think there's much point discussing it further.

But nobody has said they ARE better managers. The line is STATISTICALLY they have been better. Which they clearly have.

I am not sure he is drawing any conclusions
