In May 2008, Blackpool finished nineteenth in the Championship, their highest finish in the Football League since 1977–78.

What mess did he create at Blackpool meme????
You will have to be a little clearer.
the SG analysis is simple enough for me...
he did VERY well at Blackpool..... he got the Leeds job, then worked well with the squad to get us promoted..
whilst in the ccc our tactic changed a little.... instead of buying the likes of BJ / Kilkenny from rival teams in the League 1, we then changed to loans SG never really brought in anyone that benifted us.... and lost the dressing room.... he was sacked, and that was correct imo
I'm not sure whos at fault for the loans though, SG or Bates... was it SG's idea to go for rubbish loans or was it Bates telling him to?
Just because you finished nineteenth
It's not going make you a prem team.
If he had stayed they been a midtable , fighting to stay up team for years.
Hollyway taken them to next level
I mainly agree Tuscany.
I feel with the squad we had last season, we over achieved. Thus this season it was always going to be difficult..... getting rid of Johnson, Gradel and Howson.

And how does that equate to "a mess"?
"whilst in the ccc our tactic changed a little.... instead of buying the likes of BJ / Kilkenny from rival teams in the League 1, we then changed to loans...."
Bates made it clear there was no money for transfers with regular periodic statements about how "we won't gamble our future" " we won't take risks"
Any League 1 player who can cut it in for a top 6 championship team costs a million or more and Bates isn't going to spend that on one player, never mind sanction their high wages....
Otherwise we're left signing rough diamonds like Kilkenny and Johnson, but they are rare and using Norwich as some prime example of that is bollix, cos it will never be replicated by anyone else....
A more realistic example of that kind of transfer policy is Peterboro, mid-table, play good football, but never gonna be pushing for top 2, ever.

Exactly what I would like to say.
Midtable mess that was turned into a prem team team.
8 wins in 24 games sonce x mas when teams found out how we play and over achieved load of rubbish.
Should gone at end of last season and we not be in this mess now!!!!
open your eyes meme.
Deary me.
I telling you
We would got mon if he had gone at end of last season.
Tusc has got it spot on.
In League One, he did the job we needed.
After January 3rd, we were 1st, 11 points clear and had just beaten the Mancs. I thought he was an amazing manager. But then we flopped after that and struggled to finish 2nd. But we still did get promoted, which isn't a massive achievement given the resources he had, but still incredibly important. He did the job in the end.
But in the CC, he proved not to be tactically astute enough and brought in poor players/loanees. It was his choice to get the likes of Bannan, Livermore, McCartney and permanent signings like Paynter. Don't kid yourself that Bates was dying to sign the top scorer in League One. Paynter won't be on cheap wages.
He did the job needed in League One, but proved not to be good enough at this level for us. He should have gone in the summer IMO, because last season we had a massive chance and wasted it.
bluememe.... there would of been no reason to sack SG last season, he finished 7th in his first season in the ccc... which wasn't half bad really?
MON would have never taken on Leeds
there would of been no reason to sack SG last season
....
Sadly that's the reason he was not sacked because we got 7th place.
I understand that from there view because fans would go nuters.
But
8 wins in 24 games. Should gone at end of season. Who was proven right?
Take look at my posts. There all bloming right!!!!!!
