Re: SHA poll - New Manager

Then he went to Wigan, managed in the Europa League, beat Man City in the cup, took Arsenal to penalties at Wembley in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and qualified for the play-offs. The next season they started a bit sluggishly and he was sacked. Dave Whelan said at the time that it was a very harsh sacking. Two managers later, Wigan were down.

Then went to the madhouse that was Leeds and lasted 12 games - but think it's harsh to judge anybody under Cellino (apart from Dave Hockaday).

To add a bit of balance, Wigan were amongst the favourites for promotion if I remember correctly and he took them to the relegation zone before he was sacked.

Then with Leeds, he won 1 or 2 games in about 2/3 months.

Not that I dislike him. He's far from the finished article but he seems to do well on a shoe-string and his coaching methods are highly talked of by anybody that seems to come into contact with him.

The problem with him is that he doesn't seem to have a plan B. When results don't seem to be going well, there isn't an alternate way of playing, he just seems to keep trying the same thing, even if results aren't going well.

I do agree about your point on needing a good coach though. The key now is to get every last ounce of potential out of the players that we have
