Well Rob Page was rubbish for us wasn’t he? How many other managers can we collectively name who have been hopeless for us but have been inexplicably successful elsewhere? Tony Barton was probably the pick of the bunch. Perhaps it’s because there is a curse that has befallen the club. On the other hand maybe it’s because it’s sport, so by nature has an element of unpredictability therefore things won’t always go as intended. The minute they don’t naturally everybody has no effing patience whatsoever and it’s off with their head. There’s a moral here somewhere, not that anyone will listen. I just hope when Lady Luck desserts JB as it will at some point he gets cut some slack. That would make a refreshing change and might save yet another load of expensive heart ache.
