For failing to deliver a trophy with arguably the best side in decades and delivering some of the worst England performances in memory? Fuck that shit.
Factoring in the above, he was without doubt the luckiest manager we will ever have. Just look at the state of the draws we had in the past 4 tournaments. I still think 2018 tops it. Snuck through on penalties against a hapless Colombia side only to find ourselves up against a horrendous Sweden side in the Quarter Final - Their captain and main player was playing at Bolton in league one.

When you sneak through on penalties against a hapless Colombia side in the last 16 of a world cup, to then find yourself up against a Sweden side in the Quarter Final - Their captain and main player was playing at Bolton in league one - The precedent was kind of set.
His legacy should be one of immense fortune and horrifying levels of tactical incompetence.

I just feel his legacy will be he was the man who got our mentality back together and created a squad who pulled together and looked like they wanted to be there and play for each other. Yes he's been fortunate but either way 2 euro finals and a WC semi are not to be sniffed at. The booze industry will be pushing him for a knighthood because he's helped sell millions of extra pints this last couple of weeks 😆 |
