I HAD sympathy for bignot but on reflection, for someone whos spent their entire career in football it seems really naive to play about experimenting the way he did, instead of having a go at pushing for the playoffs, points wise he couldve got the same dissapointing amount and not got sacked if he’d just looked like he was keeping a steadier ship. His palley interviews alongside his star pupil gavin gunning, and openly discrediting players technical ability, just comes across as daft

But that shouldnt have discouraged the board from looking at other up and coming management talent and slade was on such an obvious downward spiral that was a stupid appointment but thats another story

That interview along with Gunning still gives me the creeps now, like something from a Hitchcock movie, this club is better than that

Didn't a Yank own them years ago? Seem to remember a previous period of dodgy ownership.


Yeah it was a bloke with American Football links I think. Ended up managing the team too (to relegation out the FL, unsurprisingly!)

We'd be rock bottom if we'd stuck with that massive clown.



Agree with this. Bignot started with the side in a really strong and comfortable position. We had a small squad that just needed a little tweaking. Slade was not the answer but Bignot had spent the Bogle money on magic beans and left a massive unbalanced squad. There was no method or reasoning to his tactics and many of the performances were woeful.

Did he not sign Jones, and Osborne though?, who some would argue were better than many player we have now.

I do think Bignot bought well, if you allow for a 50/50 strike rate on signings.

Yes, there were some duds (Gunning, etc) but Osborne and Jones looked very capable of excelling at this level given the right support, while Asante, Yussuf and Dyson looked to have enough about them to develop under a manager that wanted them and would've given them time on the pitch.

Buckley bought some rubbish every now and again, even Hurst signed rubbish (Straker, Brodie, etc).

One thing I agreed with was Bignot's assessment that we needed more technical players. The best were Osborne and Jones, and they were the two good things about our squad in the summer but Slade got rid and here we are.

I've over-simplified it, but it's impossible to know where we would be today had we stuck with Bignot. Personally I think we'd be something like 16th but equally discontent because it would've represented no progress and there would probably be calls for him to go in that parallel universe.

He must have found someone somewhere selling beans very late on transfer deadline day given that Omar's sale to Wigan was one of the latest deals to take place
