I appreciate it's all about managing in your time but Sir Gary Megson may never have made it with us by today's preferred managerial styles.

Yet without him pulling our club up by it's then largely empty scrote bag we'd most likely have gone down to the third tier again.

Sliding door moment when we could have recruited someone with a long term 'project' in mind and gone onto conquer the footballing world?

Probably not. I suspect we'd have slipped into oblivion along with the Brian Clough school of management. There's a time and place for everything though.

So just because Deeney's failed at the footballing Mecca of Forest Green Rovers it doesn't mean there can never be a place for strict but fairer management by others either now or in future
