I said I would be absolutely amazed if he wasn’t That was my opinion and only that. I knew we were speaking with Critch weeks ago and also back in November. I’mWill give you credit, you had this last Friday before the betting odds had shifted.
But you also said that Dobbie would be an assistant though
The fact he has been bumped back to development, probably means Gormless Garrity comes back as well, as he rides, on Critchley's coat tails.Dobbie should be assistant.
He deserves it
They’ve made the right decision for the right reasons - it’s down to ability, qualifications and how he suits the immediate situation and set of circumstances. Anything else is irrelevant. As for those concerned he’d split the fan base whilst now is the fans opportunity to give the club every chance of success and just support the man 100%
Fair play. You called it! Keep the info coming. Who's his first signing going to be?You’re all welcome btw
For what exactly ? You some sort of mystical soothsayer ?Up to yesterday most of the rumours were for the city youth coach . We all knew Critchley was in the frame so you hardly produced an unheard of name from fresh air.You’re all welcome btw
Thats definitely the issueVery good coach , was great for us and had he left with the right words people would feel different .
What an insulting post. So anyone who disagrees with you is 'entitled'?Here for the entitled fans spitting their dummies out big time over this.
We really have a section of the fan base who are overgrown babies.
If Critchley takes us up, with a team scoring goals and great football, Phil will be along to tell everyone that he knew he was capable of delivering great football but failed last time.Has anybody checked on Phil?
That's not the issue for me. The issue is, Critchley left without notice, without giving SS time to appoint a replacement & leaving us playing catch up. Him leaving the way he did was the catalyst to a dire season ending in relegation.Thats definitely the issue
The first rule of restrictive covenant is that there is no restrictive covenant.happy to give him another chance . Strange he didn’t mention the restrictive covenant. Maybe the restrictive covenant restricted him from mentioning it?
He does, but if it were me I’d tell him to shove it.Dobbie should be assistant.
He deserves it
Spot on mateBitterly disappointed with the last two appointments but feel very positive with Critchley returning . Very good coach , was great for us and had he left with the right words people would feel different . The past can’t be changed but we can all be part of making the future a positive and enjoyable time.
Absolutely no point being negative towards him now, let’s back him and collectively work to a positive return . We’ve just had a chaotic miserable season , with the right financial backing and our immense support we could see a great year ahead! UTMP
No but I’ve heard on good authority he’s dusting off his posts from the start of the 20/21 season when he absolutely lambasted him but I’ve also had it on good authority we got promoted that season and were the best team in the league statically! Oh the ironyHas anybody checked on Phil?
It doesn’t work like that it’ll be a rolling one year deal in effect….unless SS is insane4 year deal? There goes our transfer kitty if we have to pot him.
Can't pin that on Critch!Hope we re sign nuttall
They’ll try no doubt.Can't pin that on Critch!
There is a world of difference between someone not being happy with his appointment, and the way some fans have carried on in the past if they haven't got their way about something.What an insulting post. So anyone who disagrees with you is 'entitled'?
All supporters are equally entitled to their opinion, yet you appear to think "have your opinion, but if you disagree with mine, you are wrong, entitled & a baby with no dummy".
That is a bazaar way of debating a subject.
Yep. Hiring the man whose departure effectively relegated us will either be a good or bad decision. I remain to be convinced it’s the former. He has alot to prove for me.You may as well have put any number you wanted in front of that deal, as he's proven before the length of the contract he's on means fuck all.
I've been very vocal on here about not going back to Critchley, I personally think it has the potential for absolute toxicity at the club. We've just been relegated, if we then get off to a poor start under Critchley on his return it'll turn sour.
I'll never bet against my own club though, I didn't want him back but I hope for both our sakes it goes well. Get us promoted Critch and all us forgiven - I'll even take a fisting at Wembley (or at the title lift)
Bloody hell pipe down Albert Tatlock!Yep. Hiring the man whose departure effectively relegated us will either be a good or bad decision. I remain to be convinced it’s the former. He has alot to prove for me.
You won't despair if we have a good season and are in and around the top 6. UTMP!They just don't learn do they, yet another ex manager who left under a cloud alienating supporters is appointed, I despair!!!
Nope I told you all weeks ago this was a strong possibilityFor what exactly ? You some sort of mystical soothsayer ?Up to yesterday most of the rumours were for the city youth coach . We all knew Critchley was in the frame so you hardly produced an unheard of name from fresh air.
That said I hope he builds on his first stint , recruits well and stays for the foreseeable future like we all thought he was going to do the first time
me on a freeFair play. You called it! Keep the info coming. Who's his first signing going to be?
Not a lot !I'd rather have Morty back, or Joe Smith...I wonder if he's doing anything these days?
Let's hope we get another Ker-ching on better terms this time.Welcome back Neil Critchley…four year deal
Excellent post.Interesting appointment which, in a way, surprises me due the way Critch deserted us and his poor record of just 1 win at QPR
With that said he does have experience at this level and he got us into the Championship.
Sadler is obviously man enough to forget the past and bring in who he thinks is right for the job,BUT, Appleton and McCarthy obviously weren’t good enough
The appointment has certainly split this board but what we need to remember is that the posters on here only represent a small percentage of the fan base so it would be interesting to know what the majority think of the appointment.
The big positive is that the appointment has been made now which allows Critch the full summer to get his feet under the table and set his stall out.
My choice would have been Dobbie because it was blatantly obvious for all to see that he had a positive effect on the players from the word go and his attacking philosophy is good to watch.
Critch is in situ now so no point in crying over spilt milk and let’s get behind him.
I genuinely hope for Sadler’s sake that this time around it works out for him because after all he did step up and take ownership when the club was in a mess.
Don't mince your words, Pun_1. Tell it to us straight. How ya feelin' me old china?FFS, fuming with this.
I cannot stand the **.
