goatfood said:Reid - still wonder how that team did so well, he certainly got the best out of them - got rid of him far too soon.
Loved the football under Horton and Keegan. Hopefully with time it will be Hughes :-)
Reid was ok, but by his own, later, admission, he allowed others too much say in what went on - Sam Ellis was a dreadful choice of assistant manager. The football under Reid was also woeful, game after boring game of the ball being hoofed up the pitch for Quinn to flick onto White. Yeh we won, and over the next few years we would have given our collective right arms for some results however we got them, but it was shocking to watch and probably only served to illuminate the great football often played under Horton after Reid was got rid of. The one real service Reid did for the club was to initiate, if only by his sacking, the train of events which lead, albeit with much grief over the next few years, to Swailes and his poor regime being turned out and eventually, post-Lee, us getting Berstein et al to finally start managing our club in something like a professional manner.
