You're right there Dancing. O'Shea was subbed in his last game after 70, our next game two weeks later saw the appearance of les boys and we lost to ten-man Oldham. Against Wimbledon we had 14 shots and 56% possession - a distant memory. Still, I was in favour of O'Shea going, because I thought we'd get a more reliable player instead - more fool me!

GC has been rubbish for us, but you don't win a division by chance. AND if it were only the level of investment that promoted Wigan then explain Orient, they had one the best sides in Division One, spent loads on improving it with Championship players, couldn't win, then sacked managers, went down and will shortly be out. That catastrophe for Orient started with the manager in charge who had almost got them promotion the previous season. Despite the Meercats, not much is simples.

GC took over a job with which a more experienced (and better!) manager had been struggling. That manager (DW) had taken it over from a man who knows football, but doesn't seem successful managerially (DS), who had in turn taken it over from a man who decided to walk away from it to take over a club in a lower division (PC). Your GC(se) question is Describe and Evaluate elements in this sequence that made it reasonable to suppose that GC would get off to anything but a disastrous start.

I can't answer it by the way. It sounds like taking over the controls over a Malaysian Airliner to me.
