The official Thanks Mark McGhee thread

While I'm all for our big change, I think it's only right to give McGhee the credit he deserves as he goes out.

For making the play offs and a day at the Millenium none of us will ever forget.

For keeping us in the Championship and beating some big clubs along the way - West Ham away the highlight for me.

Some great signings: Currie, McShane, Carole, Frutos.

For developing youth players like Virgo, Harding, Lynch into real assets to this club.

Most of all for taking the club to his heart and our fight for Falmer. The lack of investment in the team and poor facilities was enough for Taylor to walk out but Mark was up for the challenge. He should have seen the writing on the wall at the end of last season and gone then but he tried - but failed.

Gook luck Mark and thanks.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Indeed

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Agreed.

Yes, so long and thanks for all the fish. No, joking apart you did your best but things weren't working. Good luck and thanks.

 

[Martlet]

yep - absolutely. Spent it in a West Country pub, surrounded by City fans. How much did I enjoy the penalty!

cheers MM. But I might not buy you a bottle of scotch though.

 

[jakes right boot]

Beating Palace at Selhurst.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Palace

 

[Jim in the West]

Absolutely. I was on Harty's phone in last Saturday asking for him to be sacked, but I still think he did a fantastic job in 2003/04 and 2004/05. Keeping us in the Championship the year before last has to go down as one of the best achievements of any manager that year. And when you look at the players he's had to sell, you've got to feel sorry for him. With Virgs, Currie, Carole, Harding, etc still at the club we would still be in the Championship, I'm sure.

Ta ta!

 

[Squiggsy]

Thanks Mark. At least you were prepared to stick at it in pretty grim circumstances.

I really can't imagine who will want to come to manager a club with no ground, no money and a thin squad - who then sack the manager for not getting results.

 

[Mr Burns]

. And Mark if you have been shafted, which I believe you may well have been, please speak out!

 

[JJ McClure]

Cheers for fluking the playoff against Swindon, cheers for the win at the millenium stadium and the wins at Palace and the Spammers.

Cheers for bringing the legends that are Molango and Turienzo to the south coast.

Very under-valued commodity - loyalty. All the best, Mark.

 

[Lokki 7]

A really decent, hard working top bloke. All the best Mark.

 

[Caveman]

Agreed, did a great job with what he had.

Thanks for the Play Offs final and Palace away. Certainly two of my fondess memories since supporting the Albion.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Thank you for your tireless work and some happy memories.

I hope you find yourself another job and find happiness.

All the best Mark.
