My learned clacher friend may add to this response but I never alluded that he was not the right man fer the job. My "criticism" was in regard to his attitude and his propensity to project the blame on others when the majority agreed that he had made tactical errors. Some of my posts were naturally tongue in cheek wind-ups but there was a serious argument that he was struggling last season, cost us points and probably a Hampden trip, a Cup Final and even a place in Europe.
I also raised concerns that he was struggling to deal with the stress of management and I recall one of my suggestions was to seek advice, change his ways, chill out and reconsider his position. Perhaps he was looking in to this forum as he seems to have taken my advice, as I have the profession expertise to assess and treat. He has sat back, he has talked to his more experienced peers, he has considered his future, he has come out publically to share his thoughts and, most importantly he considered whether the future of the club would be affected by his ultimate decision.
Hopefully we will see a rehabilitated CC next season. He will make mistakes and will have to answer to them - that is the nature of the job - but I bet that he doesnt try to deflect the criticism anymore. CC is and always be a feckin legend and now he could be a better manager and people person to boot. He has survived and hopefully he will flourish.
I have sympathy with CC as I am under constant scrutiny and it can be very stressful at times. But I have IHE to rely on. :crazy07: :crazy07:
Oh and IHE says - ya feckin **** - ya fell for it - :rotflmao:
