Was Alan Ball as bad as people remember?

[Roachy]

Not even worthy of a thread.

 

[bumbleblue]

No, not at all.. he was fucking worse. RIP all the same.

 

[George Hannah]

He's as popular on here as Rees Mogg

Worst

Corrected for you.

I said the day he was appointed we'd go down (not sure Horton would have kept us up either), it was a bloody stupid appointment by Lee imho.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Bad, but not as bad as the boardroom, who were delusional and were the main reason we went into free fall.

The perfect storm, followed by the likes of Coppell, Phil fucking Neal, and Clark, were they better than Ball?

I wrote a letter to Franny after relegation, he was kind enough to reply, and he thought we were certain to win the League, and bounce back.

We finished 14th and got relegated again the season after.

Dark days, but makes everything sweeter now.

Fucking dreadful.

 

[Burtonblue]

Bad? One should not speak badly of the dead but he was bloody awful as a manager....

No, but a better appointment might have saved us, what followed was a shambles from Lee, another out of his depth.

So grateful for where we are now.

Christ that Liverpool game still makes me angry.
