CKR starts against Arsenal...

[NMH]

Eh? Never saw a problem with his man management skills. He weeded out all the rotten eggs and got rid of them. They all had bad attitudes and didnt deserve to wear the shirt. We should all thank McGhee for getting rid of players like Knight & CKR.

Oh RIGHT, you really did buy those 'scapegoats with the fading rosettes' images that seemed to be proliferating in our team during MM's time.
I thank McGhee for not letting the door bang him on the arse on the way out!

I saw his disinterest on the pitch most times he played, applaud that if you like, I can't. I believe that you are letting your obsessional dislike of McGhee get in the way of a reasoned view on CKR. His attitude stank on the pitch too often for me to even consider defending him.

 

[El Presidente]

A good manager might have laid his own rep on the line to protect his more talented players, but McGhee hung 'em out to dry ....and to shrink on the line until they no longer fit.

Mourinho and Ferguson are more than happy to hang their players out to dry though, and it had not stopped them winning trophies

Stam
Keane
Beckham
Van Nistelrooy
Ince
Carvalhio
Gallas etc

They all had spats with the manager and were shown the door

How the hell can you compare McGhee to Ferguson? Ferguson has an unlimited supply of money to replace them. He also mentioned at a press conference that getting rid of Stam was a mistake.

Also, they have not won the Premiership in about 4 years and their recent record in the Champions League isn't great, so maybe he shouldn't have got rid of Becks et al.

McGhee was a f***ing idiot

Conference South in 4 years time, I'm telling you.

Those managers replaced/had enough cover when got rid.

Stam - Rio
Keane - Carrick
Beckham - took a whle but Ronaldo
Van Nistelrooy - past it but still hae Rooney, Smith and Saha who can all score.
Ince - Keane, Scholes, Beckham and Giggs did ok without him didnt they?
Carvalhio - played yesterday?!?
Gallas - They played him at left back and have two England internationals a back up, I think they will cope.

So how would you deal with a stroppy arsehole at work who does not obey orders?

.......who got us promoted and gave us our highest position in the league for 15 years

Sorry you're right, he was great. I really enjoyed watching Brighton playing with him in charge, he played great football, tactically he was superb, I mean who else would've played Reid as a left back?
I can't believe he got so much stick from the stands or that attendances were dropping so low.

Yep, super manager.

Whats changed since he left? Reid moved from midfield to right back.
Still bad perfomances (ok we beat the two bottom teams) and atttendances haven't risen.

 

[El Presidente]

With no money to buy decent players, he cut his cloth accordingly. You can't polish a turd.

That argument is so simplistic as it doesn't even start to take in the restrictions that MM had to work with. Who should have played at RB in your opinion and did you really expect our old men and kids to set the divisions alight, even the chairman has said mid table is the best we can hope for, which is exactly what MM was achieving. DW is already being got at after two wins a draw and a defeat in the league which is a pretty impressive start under the circumstances. Which manager in his right mind would want to come to a club with no money, no ground and with so many deluded fans who think we have a right to promotion and great football. Reality check time imo.

By alienating all the good players we had? Genius!

 

[El Presidente]

Did he alienate Cullip, Harding, Virgo, Currie.......or did he sell them at a profit of over £2million?

 

[Zebedee]

Agreed. McGhee was always more interested in "triers" than players with flair and skill,

 

[Silent Bob]

Did he alienate Cullip

Well....

 

[El Presidente]

Agreed. McGhee was always more interested in "triers" than players with flair and skill,

So why did he sign Currie, who was of course SLAUGHTERED by the NSC experts for his first few games

 

[Zesh Rehman]

CKR comes on against Arsenal, last month he wasnt even on our bench

f***ing dead right, you'll be watching Brighton a long time before you see any other Albion manager match his achievements - start the clock now you sarcastic clown.
