Indeed.
Just one thing I've never understood though...people say we should have kept Knill. Looking at the situation now that is a very good arguement. But at the time Knill had had a hand in Rotherham's, Bradfords and Chesterfield's demise that season.
Not something I'd stick on my CV...nor if I was hubbard would I think he's management material at that time. He came here as he was respected and Richardson knew he was a capable coach. I'm glad he's doing well now, but it is a bit unfair folks to suggest we should have appointed him as our manager back then unless somebody has a crystal ball.
I know it's not been mentioned in this thread...but in other threads it has been.

A point very well made!
The purpose of my post was simply to compare the contrasting 'fortunes' of two former collegues.
However, I would be fascinated to understand the reasons why?
I'm embarrassed by the actions of those who run my club.

I hope he does well with Bury. Don't think there was any great conspiracy when he left town...he was basically offered a step up the ladder in management with Bury and he has done great with them so far.
Felt in the game they played us he knew height was a problem and used that against us. I hope we beat them at Gigg Lane and return the favour though.
