That’s noble of you. And you weren’t alone. There was that poll that 70% wanted him sacked. It doesn’t matter now. We are all together
I don’t think it was ever 70% wanted him sacked but anyway this forum does not really represent the fan base just the more vocal. I have said to a couple of Des out posters on here we do not ever want to go down the Watford route we have more class. Let’s just all enjoy Wembley and hopefully agree win or lose we have a manager deserving of our and the Boards full backing. COYYThat’s noble of you. And you weren’t alone.

Completely agree. And definitely agree on not being a hire and fire club. I think Des has come through a difficult patch much stronger and he deserves a huge amount of respect and appreciation for that.I don’t think it was ever 70% wanted him sacked but anyway this forum does not really represent the fan base just the more vocal.

I’d have been happy to see the back of him after Bolton and up till then he hadn’t impressed me at all, but he still deserved a chance. It was the repetitious nature of some comments that annoyed me, I’m not claiming any foresight about him coming good. Still, in retrospect it’s good we didn’t turn to Big Sam.That’s noble of you.

I disagree. The "Des out" lot are the snowflake generation who want everything and they want it now.
They aren't willing to accept that there are ups and downs in life but instead want someone else to solve their problems at their expense, without any idea of who will pay for it (except not them).
You forgot the tattoos…
Agree with this always enjoyed reading his posts. Where’s he gone?The only thing I want now is for @RyanioBirdio to return to the forum with joy in his heart and a spring in his step. He is a great contributor and I’d love to see the lad back.

I think I may have room for that on my ankle next to my tattoo of Sonny Perkins

That's cheating. You're clearly a professional tattoo artist.

For me it wasn't the criticism of Des in itself that grated, just the sheer volume of posts repeating the same thing time and time again. The absolute certainty that you were right.Oh hindsight is a wonderful thing! I hold my hands up, I got Des wrong as did others but don’t pretend it was just the Bolton game - it was the lead up to it. The 5-0 thrashing was, if you like, the icing (or the burnt bit probably more apt!) on the cake but the run from Christmas, with the odd beating of bottom half dross, was very poor and allied with some of the most directionless, dreariest football we’ve witnessed in a number of seasons. Des has come good, in fact better than good he’s been superb but plenty of managers have fallen through the trap door for performing better than that run of ours post Christmas.
Fans who wanted him replaced, I think, had a valid enough argument at the time and doesn’t mean that they were a bunch of knee jerk idiots who know nothing about football. Knee jerk is a result or two, Des struggled to get any cohesion way beyond a result or two. Fantastic that the club saw the vision and supported him through this and here we are all rejoicing! The last ten games have been brilliant and a joy to see Des prove a fair few of us wrong! Well done, Des Buckingham!
