I feel like some people are to easy to jump into him not being good enough but having supported the Pies for 45 years I would say he's much much better than average. There are no guarantees with picking a new manager - none at all. I thought he brought a great vibe and played football in a decent way (in the most part). He was literally a couple of points from getting us automatic despite BIG injuries and Crowley ****ing off at a crucial point. I think he deserves much more respect for what he achieved.

That said I felt like we were defensively suspectable and lacked the ruthlessness needed. Please god lets not start a managerial merry-go-round tho.

Genuinely wish him much success - think he deserves it and may just get it.

Maynard is indeed a decent guy and I think he was doing the best he could, but as the club statement says, results and performances weren't good enough. The football in the second half of the season was mostly dire to watch, particularly at home. I think if the entertainment value is high then you can get away with a few poor results, but if you sit through 90 minutes of slow, negative dross AND lose, then you wonder why you've paid your hard-earned cash. Certainly the thought of watching Maynardball again next season wasn't going to shift many extra season tickets.
