Slightly different McGhee poll

[Commander]

What do you reckon?

 

[Captain Pugwash]

for getting a team out of this division he is a good manager

his man-management on the other hand is poor imo

 

[B.W.]

Voted good... but he needs to work on his public pronouncements (sometimes stupid) and man-management skills...

Ditto. Shown himself to be a shrewd manager at times and used some players very well, Virgo etc.

Yet there does seem to be an underlying problem with his man management at times. Although we never hear the full story.

Good to take us out of League One.
Very Good to keep us up.
Poor tactics last season.

Averages out as Good.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Good

 

[Meade's Ball]

I think i am very cose to having reached an age when i can no longer accept him.
In my late teens i liked Jimmy Case despite the fact that he was trapped in a managerial dimension i am yet to read of. But McGhee, now that i approach 31, is unacceptable. I don't want to read his diary or look at pictures of him sun-bathing or hunting something.

 

[Loft23]

Adequate.

 

[Caveman]

I think as fans we need to get behind the team this season. Any abuse at the managerial team and players isnt going to help.

I personally wouldn't want anyone else in charge in this division, we aint a Championship side yet I'm afraid, but a good league 1 team we can be.

Yep. Think I agree with that. Think he is OK. A good league 1 manager.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Shite

Wrong tactics

Wrong players in position

Motivation wrong "XXXX game doesnt matter" etc

Persisting with an injured Chippy for half a season

I could go on

 

[London Irish]

Disenfranchised again, no option for brilliant

Ask Bristol City or Brentford fans how easy it is getting a club up through the play-offs at the first crack.

LI, do you honestly think MM is a brilliant Manager? Not having a go, just interested.

Don't get me wrong LI. I think McGhee has done a very good job on the whole and he has my backing. But if he was a brilliant manager then he wouldn't be our manager.

 

[Silent Bob]

He seems to do well for a couple of seasons and then it all falls apart.

Poor.

 

[Pigsy]

Adequate seems to sum him up nicely, sometimes good, sometimes bad, bog standard type of Div 3 gaffer.

 

[Trigger]

The one below Shite.

Agreed. He's done well but has made quite a few mistakes. Prob the best we can get at the moment but by no means brilliant. None of the Managers we have had at Withdean have been brilliant.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Very Poor.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Very Poor.

What about his efforts to get us promoted in the first place and stay up in the championship against the odds. Does that not count for anything?

 

[Silent Bob]

Agreed. He's done well but has made quite a few mistakes. Prob the best we can get at the moment but by no means brilliant. None of the Managers we have had at Withdean have been brilliant.

Are you sure? Micky Adams, Steve Coppell, even Peter Taylor have all gone on to better things. One's in the Premiership and two could be challenging this season.
