When did Saunders ever "target the playoffs" here?
Quote from: Akinfenwa on January 07, 2013, 04:06:59 pmWhen did Saunders ever "target the playoffs" here?Exactly. He always said he was looking to consolidate.
McKay said the play-offs were possible. Don't think Saunders ever said the same.
Read the comments he's made in his press conference today and you will be forgiven for thinking he's slipped up and used exactly the same script he used in the September he joined us.
He's got us to 2nd in the league though, unless that's an illusion too.Honestly, some people need a reality check. Wolves are a massive club with a turnover many times the size of ours, with an infrastructure we can only dream of. Would SO'D have stayed if that job was offered to him? Would Penney? Would any manager who wasn't born and bred DRFC, and even then most would probably take it. Give credit where it's due, Saunders did a terrific job here and he has the league table to back him up - Wolves wouldn't have come knocking otherwise. It's common sense. Tells you a lot about some of our fans that petty point-scoring is more important than getting behind the club and manager even when we're doing well.
(quote function doesn't work on my phone Macho)But there's a difference in the Deano's quote and "i'm only here for the money"If he said "yeah we're 18th cos we're cack, we'll have a look what's wrong and deal with it. A club this size should be at least in the play-offs come May" then as a supporter i'd respect him much more. To just rock up and claim they'll be there anyway is just cheap talk, do supporters buy that?
Why so surprised Frosty? We've simply allowed you to indulge in your illusion that he's loyal, honourable, Rovers through and through, that he talks great sense and plays wonderful, attractive, attack minded football and the bubble will never burst.You might find a few more returning to the circus now the chief clown's left the ring.
