doggybag I always tell my friends, it wasn't just the on pitch performance, its the culture, respect, humble, class, that he brought. To me, there will always be some voids that he left behind that I don't think any manager in the world could fill.
DF got us 90 points. regardless of anything else. We were shite. He made Rutter into Zidane, Gnonto was leaving, Bamford was supposed to be shit. He made Struijk believe again. He wasn't shy in promoting Archie. And Junior Firpo.
I blame the meltdown on our supposedly superstar players - Summerville and Gnonto. They aren't as good as people think. An organized Southampton with players disciplined enough to maintain the low block can nullify them. Or it was simply, that was the actual level of our players.
