Flitcroft - the man, the mystery, the enigma

He took over at a time when the club seemed destined to fail and was showing no resolve for the relegation battle. The club and the fans have been extremely lucky that we have a diamond waiting to shine. What the man has achieved, despite losing Stones and Davies and not having money to spend, is truly inspiring. I was talking to the missus about the fact that Wilson could have been immortalised in a statue for that promotion and I feel that Saturday is every bit as important.
If Flitcroft and the players pull another result out and avoid relegation then it deserves to stand there as one of the finest moments in the club's recent history. It has already been said that the team would then enter next season on the impetus of the string of results since the New Year which would hopefully set it up for more than the annual relegation battle.
I do enjoy reading Flitcroft's sound bites and he seems to be really in tune with the club and fans - to lose him would be a travesty. As I said earlier - how lucky we have been to unearth such a gem who has managed to inspire the players and the fans and bridge what was a widening gulf. I am trying to stay calm about this coming weekend and I have told my Wednesday work colleagues off over the Peterborough result. I am sure, come Saturday, I will have everything crossed and sweating like I was in a sauna!!!!

 

Well said .....lets hope and pray that he is still with us next season ...whatever the division we're in.
I've never known anyone unite this club as much. We should petition the club to keep him.

 

Going into the last two games needing two wins would have been instant relegation under most of our more recent managers, but in Flitcroft we have the best man for the job. If anyone can inspire the team to get the wins he can but, more importantly, we know that if we do go down we are not going down without a fight, unlike last time. Those players will give everything next Saturday, we can be sure of that.

Crazy isn't it, that all we are trying to do is avoid relegation, for something like the 13th time out of the last 15 seasons, but if we manage it on Saturday it will be the biggest celebration since we got promoted to the Premiership. It is fantastic that the players, the management and the fans are all pulling together like this. People used to use the phrase 'stronger together' to get a cheap shot in when something didn't go their way when trying to get match tickets or the like, but stronger together? Not half!
