Hmmm...only if you define ‘**** all’ as being a solid club man for years, bringing the youngsters through and being second highest (only to McClaren Mk1) in terms of win rate and gpg ratio of any manager in recent times.

I’m sure he has his failings, but he rescued the Clement season when it was going seriously off the rails, and came within a whisker of taking us to Wembley. After the disastrous play off semi final 1st leg at PP he turned things round magnificently in the 2nd leg at Hull and had it not been for that 1st leg debacle and the Shackell (whatever happened to him?) incident at Rotherham (?) I think we’d remember him more fondly.

So...I don’t ‘know he wanted to continue’...but I do know he’s done a lot more than ‘**** all’ and, imo, he’s been a bit hard done to.
