MON was a great manager and a far better manager than AN. His only problem was keeping fans on side with his style of football especially when you have a bad spell. If the fans were all fully behind him regardless I would expect him to have taken us to the Prem and I have no doubt he would have. He had a lot of bad luck with injuries, a lot of pressure from fans and no kitty to easily find replacements. Like many managers here they fall because they play the British brand of football which on the whole is dog shit and the fans are sick of it.

MON should have gone at the end of the 21/22 season. He'd run his race and you could see he'd run out of ideas. He'd needlessly disappeared down a 5-3-2 rabbithole, invested everything into one doomed-to-fail system, and was so deep in that by the end he was standing in a full state of catatonia on the touchline, unable to do a thing about the shambles that was playing out in front of him on a weekly basis. We were heading down under him, with the only hope being that he'd have somehow woken up, switched systems and dragged us out of trouble like he had when he first arrived. However, I don't think Neil has done any better. The only bit of hope I've got is that I think he has the system right, but his summer defensive recruitment has been so poor that he's left us without any hope of a workable tactic being implemented. Given the circumstances they worked under, if AN was sacked tomorrow (any chance we could make it today?) MON would be remembered as the better manager. That 5-3-2 rabbithole, devised on 80 mins yesterday, against whe worst team I've seen in ages, takes some beating
