The ONLY chance had this season was a NR or AS type manager to coach the team.....but in my opinion Stubbs had been at a top club at EVERTON since 2006 and his team were good servants to EVERTON for 19 years
They knew the championship well - they knew every young player worth knowing and that's why they identified Izzy to help us play to frustrate the better teams and win / draw ugly.
Woods and Halford were and Woods still is the common denominator when leaking goals is concerned.
Some derided Stubbs for playing BALL & FRY as a central partnership because Stubbs didn't want Woods in the side and those two young uns played great together.
Both Woods & Halford only played due to injury after that....
Stubbs still here and we would still have Izzy and safe.
And a dam site better than being 2 / 3 of a season without a manager AT ALL!
T's should have supported Stubbs through that first window because 13 games was just madness!
