F uck ,why do i feel the need to defend SOD.
May be because despite the terrible results under him I am sure he would have got us where we want to be in time.His problem was that the board who hired him,did n't actually like him ( evidently they thought he was a 'cheeky chappy' ) he obviously changed his personality overnight.
No one wanted to hear the truth when he spoke and if he lacked charisma and diplomacy at least he knew something about football and how to get teams promoted from this division.
He was ,iMHO ,let down by the board who told him to reduce the wage bill and left him high and dry when he needed their support.
i am really fed up with all this.
