I'm still fuming every time I think about it I get angry frustrated at the situation and the club in general I'm honestly saddened at what's taken place.. Feels like we've experienced a death of a well loved friend and I'm going through the grieving process... CONWAY has a lot to answer in my opinion...
Crikey, wish I was quite so invested. I was impressed last season, but never thought the team were a patch on the side that came up under Heckingbottom. Stendel was great, but like a death of a well loved friend? Not really.
Wasn’t reliant on us being promoted through the play offs like Heckys team was though. Just a shame he never got to have a crack with the side in the championship that got us promoted. Sold down the river.
No, Stendel's team won automatic promotion, I'm fully aware of that. However, Heckingbottom's team didn't really gel and get going until after Christmas. A full season of that quality and they'd have won the title. I agree it would've been nice to see how the team containing Davies, Pinnock etc would've coped, but still don't think they were as good. It's all about opinions though...
Stendel did an incredible job with players not in the same league as Hecky had. Probably only Moore, Pinnock and Cavare would have got in that side we came up with under Heckingbottom. I think that shows you what a great job he did. Most clubs come up and add to their squad in the hope of avoiding relegation not wholesale changing their team in a much much harder division
