You didn't need hindsight to know he would've been a 10x better option than Michael Appleton.With the benefit of hindsight he would have been a good option possibly.
He may not have interviewed well. Have no idea.You didn't need hindsight to know he would've been a 10x better option than Michael Appleton.
Sure but we were equipped for 3 at the back and Bowler was leaving and was our only front line winger i think. And it was early June with summer recruitment to come.I certainly think he was a better choice than Appletart (who wouldn’t be?)
But I think some of the same issues would’ve arisen in terms of squad compatibility. Duff is an out and out three at the back man, doesn’t really do wingers etc
Fruit based selection recess?I believe we only actually interviewed two candidates.. apple fool and mickey Mellon..it was a fruit based selection recess
Ironic that we got Duff rather than Duff!See he's set to replace Russell Martin at Swansea. Anyone else think "what could have been?" when we looked at him last summer, would we have stayed up if we took him on? An in demand manager now though.
