Al B Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I genuinely don't understand how anyone can think ill of the guy for being interested in a new job. We've had what's turned out to be a fucking excellent manager for what's needed at our level, and we reaped the rewards of that. He's upped his stock within the game, and he's more than entitled to in turn reap his own rewards. Not only that but could easily have nailed his hopes to the mast at the end of his contract, but was willing to sign another one and as a result we'll get a reasonable sum of money for an outgoing manager. I hope he stays, but if he does go he'll get nothing but the most sincere thanks and best wishes from me. And then we move onward. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Also, I wouldn't worry too much about us looking at the usual generic managerial employment queue. Over the past couple of appointments we've interviewed the likes of McCall, Fenlon, Ricky Sbragia, Jim Gannon, Steve Staunton, Aidy Boothroyd, Lawrie Sanchez... Some would appeal and some wouldn't, but you have to say that every one of them is out of left field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Radio Sheffield understands he has chosen to honour his MK contract, which has 18 months remaining. only McCall and Southgate left I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one wasn't convinced of smc's credentials when he arrived, and hoped that we would be the club where he made his mark and built a reputation. That has come to pass and it would be churlish to feel aggrieved if the guy chooses to take on another challenge elsewhere, especially with a club that he clearly has a lot of affection for. If he stays, I'd be over the moon but if as it seems he's off to the Blades, he leaves with my gratitude and no small measure of admiration for his achievements both on and off the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and also the fact that he's not went to newco. If indeed he takes this offer then best of luck Stuart, thanks for the memories, the comp. we will get and if you come back looking for players bring a big cheque because with the comp money we might not need to sell cheap.
