The performance was outstanding. Very unlucky to not take at least one point and from here onwards, most of our rivals have to come to us, except for Barrow. We've made huge strides since Micky came in and would have taken this league position at that point.
You should know why, if you spend more than a season in that league your standards slip and you look for positives in everything.
He can't hack it in League 1, failed there with Fleetwood and Shrewsbury. His budget last season was in the top 10 of the division and we scraped survival and that was because of him anyway. He signed all the players on big contracts in League 2 with a huge pay rise bonus if they got promoted which we did. Then he decided he didn't want half of them and nobody would take them off us so we wasted money paying them off. He has this season signed a load of duffers on 2 year deals and we are stuck with them too so Hurst has a job on his hands keeping us up with the squad that Mellon built. His budget was cut this season down to his own stupidity (and that of the chairman) so he can't complain about it, anyway it is still bigger than clubs like Walsall and Port Vale who get far better results than Mellon did.
) there instead of non entities like Shrewsbury - and he certainly didn't fail with Fleetwood in League One as he was sacked with them in the play off places in League Two.
If the rumours are true, Jermaine probably has a wider definition of what constitutes a "natural position" than most of us...
Thought Rangers would finish 2nd but if you think 4th there you go.
Would bit your hand off for that tbh.
Being honest NO. The thing i'd be concerned about is the Ozil and Sanchez contract situation. I think both will leave as Arsenal aren't going to blow the pay structure out of the water to keep them so they will be off next summer and how do you replace them?
