I understand my opinion is not a popular one but I posted because of a personal experience ONLY. However, I also feel paying bills doesn't make him a "nice man", it was a "money" gesture.
He was a nice man, always had time, he even replied to an email I sent to the club,Steve.PAFC2012":zehyhe45 said:
For what it's worth Fletcher is also a nice guy, that's why I hate it when the abuse gets personal

In my case, I could've just caught Reidy on a bad day and regardless, I cannot agree more with what you said.

Yeah, true! My general opinion is that I appreciate him sticking through it but, looking back, he was never going to be a promotion-chasing manager.
Impossible to judge him at Argyle. He didn't stand a chance as it was complete chaos behind the scenes.
All I can say for certain is that his managerial record with Man City and Sunderland was very good.
He may have been an excellent manger given normal circumstances to work under. We will never really know.

He was working in impossible conditions, given the budget and squad CF has theres not a chance wed be in 20th ...soccerpilgrim":1nizcpf0 said:
Bit odd but ... over the last few weeks discussing DoF or new manager - I havn't seen Saxton mentioned once ??? (good or bad)
I don't think he did as bad of a job at Argyle as some will paint him as- the financial situation in 2010/11 would have shackled more or less any manager. Given better circumstances I think he'd have got that team into a play-off race and in that respect he was unlucky.
He did however lose the dressing room towards the end and with a lot of that squad still about, I'd say no. He did a decent job under trying circumstances but he had to go when he did. Better to have a new broom altogether.
