Say what you like I liked him, he got the best from a very fragile squad and it should never be forgotten.
I tend to agree and Forest was special.

Hardly memorable football but he did get us to the play offs then f...d it up as per the previous season.

The fact that Garcia got us into the play-offs for the second year running would have made Bloom's job of recruiting a decent replacement that much easier.
I've been disappointed with a lot of the comments recently about Oscar - he achieved the same outcome as Gus with a far less talented squad AND he gave our youngsters a chance to shine. The football wasn't easy on the eye but he kept the show on the road, and for that he deserves some credit.

the only thing i would add to that is that Garcia did it with a lot more class than Poyet, especially the break up at the end.
Yep, his last question was about strengthening in the summer market, and his reply was "ask the club" classic really respect to him.
Must admit this season was the first in my life that there were games when I wished I'd brought a paper with me.
Out-thought? No Upson, no Greer, no Stephens, no Bruno, etc.Trouble is, I genuinely believe he was just out-thought in the away leg. The lack of urgency was astonishing...... but I suppose if he was leaving........
