I got the impression that Gary talked his way into the job. I mean I think he was probably very convincing in his interviews.
I think Carl was too smitten by Gary's personality.
I could be well wide of the mark. But from what Carl said at the time he was bowled over by Gary's vision. Plus a good record with York clinched the deal.
I would have been more interested in why York got rid if him. Although he could have said it was a personality thing.
This time he underachieved and can't use that one.
Personally, history is more important than the gift of the gab.
I hope we don't get seduced again.
At the same time no coach can work miracles of the order expected of Cooke and Thornton.
I hope he goes on to better things and after a period of being down realises he is probably better off out of it.
He is man after all with pride and we were in some small part instrumental in getting him the sack.
Although his record and style played the major part.
Not a nice feeling ...
