Wasn't the fall out with Kuipers over him being dropped in favour of Chagnieue at the Southampton game? This was weeks before Sheff Utd.

... and replaced by a French clown, who was shaky, to say the least, at Southampton... terrible decision by MM that caused the whole problem...
Incidentally, in my eyes, Hendo still has a lot to prove... the FDM doesn't... Hendo was poor towards the end of last season, and the FDM may well have done a better job (we'll never know)... the defence seem to have more confidence in the latter...

Chaigneau even if good enough was injured most of the time and we were never going to play the youth Martin/Sullivan.
It certainly would have been nice for McGhee to have had the option to pick someone else to put pressure on Hendo, wouldn't it?
... then MM shouldn't have dropped Kuipers in the 1st place!!... do keep up...

I think most people are in agreement that the money spent on Henderson was money that didn't need to be spent. FDM + one or more understudies would have been quite sufficient. It was patently obvious that having spent a fair old chunk of the club's limited resources on Henderson, FDM was going to be ousted the first time he had a less than sparkling game. No wonder he wasn't happy with the manager.

Back to the main point of the thread... how anyone can compare MM favourably to MA is beyond me... MA built a successful team/squad out of nothing... MM's team seems to get progressively worse... the bottom-line is results, and on that score, there is no comparison... MA every time...
On top of that MM has p1ssed off a series of players... his tactics, team selection and substitutions are sometimes breathtakingly stupid and, while he has obviously made a good profit in the transfer market, he has broiught in more duds than good signings... MA, on the other hand, did the opposite...

You keep saying that Starry. And Leeds keep not playing him when it matters.

... yes, but some on here will never accept that he is a good player... they seem to prefer the "inert" Mayo for some reason...

MA and MM both had their failures and succeses in the transfer market. They both fell out with players too.
But one thing MA used to say if your good enough you keep the shirt. MM does not do this.
Look at last season we beat Hull at home 2-1 the ten days later we beat QPR 1-0 at home. So what does MM do at Luton? Change the winning side and we lose heavily. The reason he gave was to give players a rest for Millwall. We all know that a club of our resources cannot rest players as we don't have the players good enough to step in. You also should never change a winning side unless injuries force your hand.
This in my opinion is where MM differs to MA. MA would never have tinkered at Luton like MM.
At Luton is where our season started falling off the rails.

Last seasons gutless relegation is also there and the signings we cannot get rid of and the use of the press too often to air differences with players.
Sadly I can only see this season being a continuation of the gutless football we saw last season. Whilst I want to see Brighton do well, I can cope with the gutless stuff for a while if it means the end of McGhee and we then turn it round.
