Pep would have done no better with that team. He might be a twat now but he played his part in keeping the club up at a time when it could have dropped out of the PL again, with potentially existential consequences.
So you think that Pep would not have improved each player and come up with a tactical plan to win more games or score more goals? Yeah ok.

I’m pretty sure @pride in battle was referring to Phil Neale the cricketer as a piss take, mate.Phil Neal? I remember he really wanted the job unlike Coppell and a few others....Asa in an interview after the Charlton game saying he does not fancy it.
Just a shame Sir Joe didnt come earlier.

A lot of the time clubs just don’t have the players, or money to buy them to be successful. Billy did well with us but it’s sometimes other factors that contribute to failure.A list showing desperation if ever there was one. But weren't Benson and Neal caretaker managers, and Coppell might as well have been.
I wasn't sure about Billy McNeill until I remembered he helped take two teams down in 86-87. @Magicpole may have other views.

You think he’d have gotten Beasley, Vassell and Samaras winning more games?? Pearce’s team had lost Anelka, Wright-Phillips and even Andy Cole - the only goals in the team. He focused on the defence as it was the only quality in the squad during his time here.
Much better squads than we had were relegated from the PL in that era - Leeds and West Ham notably. You don’t have to like Pearce but he definitely served his purpose and provided a platform the the 2008 reformation of the club.

I absolutely believe Pep would have got more out of those players and I have zero respect for Pearce. None.

you’re right in this one although he didn’t get a tune out of Wilf Boney so he gave gave him a chance and very quickly just sold him on. Pep is legendary.So you think that Pep would not have improved each player and come up with a tactical plan to win more games or score more goals? Yeah ok.

I omitted him for a reason. He wasn't bad at all. He was in charge when the club was a shitshow. And his team was bloody fun to watch (compare to Pearce!).Glad you've not included my favourite.
