Hmmm choice between a modern failure and an ancient success ...........
Pooch, you are the one that kept supplying us with managerial win ratios. Danny is only just behind Harry Redknapp and Allardyce .......... I don't like Neil Warnock and think he is in the running for the worst player I've ever seen in pro' football ...... but he's a bloody good manager and he's in much the same bracket. Danny made mistakes (not least Morgan!) , but there were surely massive constraints on what he could do as there are on Caldwell. Dean Saunders was a great talker, very media friendly, but he doesn't seem to get the results. Paul Cook and Sheridan were hardly inspiring conversationalists outside a pub were they? But they got us promotions.
Caldwell is wasting time we could put to good use. He could be team building. He could be playing our players and addressing problems like will Tommy Lee ever play again, have we anyone coming through to replace him ..... our defenders are shuffling off the footballing coil, where do we start to replace them? WE ARE DOWN. That isn't Caldwell's fault. Being down might even be a good thing if we haven't any way to get ourselves a Division One team at the moment. But we would have to have a manager who seems interested in OUR players and if I were one of those players or just a supporter I'd judge him by his actions. And I think he's treading water in a job he'll say is impossible till he can get something better.
I hate to see Dancing talk so negatively because in general he is an optimist BUT it is understandable. What he says is right. Caldwell might not be a bad man. He might become a successful manager. But at some point he is going to have to change direction. Imagine the worst possible scenario, two defeats before Wednesday. Eight games left, SIX WINS AND A DRAW THE TASK FROM EIGHT GAMES! What on earth would be the point of playing a single loanee in that impossible situation? And what will be your opinion when/if he goes and does it?
