Roy was perfect for what we needed when we needed it. He did an exceptional job on a tight budget. Without question he was defensive but the criticism of his approach was excessive. We played nice, attacking football when we had Loftus-Cheek. We never had center backs who could play out under his tenure. Or defenders generally
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

RH did a good job in the main. But…..: We mirrored England with RH in charge. A shambles when he took over and he fixed it. Followed by a period of stable that gradually declined until the Iceland game. Good at fixing problems, not the person to take you forward. If we had the same players as we do now and RH in charge then we’d have Kyuoate and Tomkins instead of Anderson or Gueri in defence and a midfield of MacArthur, Milo and I very much doubt Gallagher would get a look in. I also think we wouldn’t have seen the team smell blood like they did at the weekend.

Blaming the players is always a sign of a bad manager. Cabaye, Zaha, Townsend, RLC, AWB, none of them good enough. Not to mention the poor guys time at England, we just don't have the same resources as Iceland. As you ignored previously, when offered resources, he chose Bats over Gallagher. If you miss him, don't worry, some badly run club will be stupid enough to employ the national embarrassment again, and we can all laugh at his next failure Not sure, why you seem to have an obsession with Roy. He was brought in to do a job of keeping in the Premier, which he did with little resources and with players on contracts we couldnt move on, because of wages they were on.

For clarity, you and Bicycle repair man are blaming the players. Bad excuses for a bad manager. Anyway, the dinosaur is extinct now. We now have one of the greats of the game in charge. Typical of desperate Roy supporters to seek any excuse they can for his constant failures. Protectionism for failures has only held back the club and English football. No-one wanted to play for that loser! Picking Bats over Gallagher, Kane taking corners, taking Wilshire to the Euro's. Even if he had unlimited funds he'd duck it up! Thankfully, we've moved on. Just let go, and enjoy watching the players express themselves as the club can finally progress! Nice to see Townsend's career hasn't been ruined.

Perhaps worth noting that in his last 3 complete seasons there were 7 free transfers and only 5 paid transfers - one of which was a second keeper. Amazing job on that budget.

Run away from the facts! I'm trying not to wind you up, it's just too easy to point out the obvious.... like not selecting Kane to take corners. Edited by jeeagles (14 Sep 2021 9.51pm)

Thank you for your witty reply. Ok so for someone who is defending RH at all costs, care to explain Harry Kane on corners? RH is not a bad manager, I don’t think anyone is realistically saying that. But he did make some bloody baffling decisions.

Sounds great if you ignore the fact he inherited the most expensive squad we've ever had, his been in a job far too long to be bad at it but inter, Liverpool, England, he certainly wasn't great either. His level is ensuring premiership survival, could guardiola do what him and big Sam can do, probably not, could they achieve what pep achieved at barca and City, probably not either.
