I wouldn't say crap - he brought them up to the premiership as winners of the championship (when they looked like they were going to get relegated from there!!) and he kept them up - a hard thing to do.
He's made some very sensible signings (short temr players like York who he brought in short term to simply get a job done), attracted players like Cisse, and made the very best of players like Kenwyn Jones and Kieran Richardson.
He's struggled lately though, and the fans have become quite impatient. The last home game on saturday... I dont know if there was a fan left in the stadium by full time. The pub I was in was full by 4:30, which just isn't like the mackems.
This wont be a shock to them - they knew he hadn't signed his contract, and a lot of them were wanting him to go.
As a mag living in mackemsville, my gut instincts are that the fans should have supported him and the team a bit more the last few games. He came in with a 5 year plan and they should have sat, gratefully, taking everything he did for those 5 years...instead they've been impatient (very much like us geordies!!) and criticised team sheets, subs, tactics and obviously results.
I think they've been silly, and it's a sad sad day on Wearside for the ladies.
