Rog Im not "eulogising" over Cloughie.
Im just making the point that there is an assumption that had he not wasted 44 days preparing Billy for a boxing match and had Sir Giles taken over that the latter would have made a good manager and glory would have continued. I believe that it is a "rose tinted" view. The evidence as to Sir J Giles managerial capabilities is not strong enough to state clearly and unequivocally that a "mistake" was made …and Im a closet nothing ! Its all in the open with me. …and I never liked Just Fashanu….
