He doesn’t get enough respect for what he did here. He took over when we were at our lowest ebb, about to crash out of the football league, he kept us up against the odds, and left us after a play off finish. He put us back on our feet.

But he’s been an absolute disaster and virtual kiss of death at just about every club he’s managed since leaving Argyle.

Liked the bloke a lot. Very dry humour.

He had 'problems at home' towards the end of his tenure but make no mistake we would have gone out of the league if it weren't for him.

He never took to 'down South' though.

You aren’t wrong. I think his style of management has perhaps passed it’s sell by date. I just think he should be remembered more fondly and with more respect by our fans. His time here ended following year on year improvement for 3 consecutive seasons, and he left a good spine for Adams to take forward (McCormick, Hartley, Nelson, McHugh, Reid, Brunt etc).

The trouble is I don’t think he wanted to be here towards the end. From what I’ve heard his commitment started to wane and he spent less time in Plymouth. I think it was best for both parties that he left when he did.

If he tried harder to connect with the fans and to buy into Plymouth, I think he’d be remembered far more fondly, because from a footballing point of view, he did a very good job. I also don’t think people understood his dry sense of humour, he got called ‘dour’ a lot, but I met him a few times and he was actually full of jokes and seemed 10x more upbeat than he ever was in the media.

His appearance on the Undr the Cosh podcast is testament to that.
He has them all in stitches with some of his anecdotes, he's an amusing bloke with a great dry sense of humour.
