Not sure about that meanwood  he,s mostly been a assistant  think he  was unfairly sacked from town


Having watched us lose 8-1 at Hartlepool and 6-0 at Oldham I'm amazed he was given as much time as he was.

He was doing the job with his hands tied, the costcutting sealed our relegation.

That is true but there still seems to be something seriously amiss. The players he had here weren't that bad but they simply stopped playing for him. His stint at Bournemouth was a disaster too. He lost virtually every game while he was in charge, was hated by the fans and as soon as he left they went on a record breaking unbeaten run.

I may be reading way too much in to this but I find it staggering that Groves got so little mention in Macca's book, and he didn't make his best XI. Macca chose Dobbin and Burnett as his central midfield pairing. Both decent enough players but Groves was our best play for years. Perhaps he's just not a people person.

I think if you look at the sales of Pouton and the issue with Jevons not being able to play you can see the trouble he was having.

He was new to it but still managed to keep us in the championship for a season, he hasn't really had a club that hasn't been in dire straits.

Groves was loved by Buckley. Two peas in a pod perhaps? Fantastically talented but not "people" people....
