It wasn't.
According to who?
I doubt you were even around on the site at the time. Even if you were, your memory is failing you.
I'll have you know i was backing Ratten in up until the week he got sacked. The only reason i believed he would/should get sacked at that time was because the external pressure on him was so great that the club could not afford NOT to sack him.
Funnily enough, it was the same with Mick. External pressure got to explosive stage where the club didn't have a choice.
It was untenable in both instances.
I've gone in to bat for Mick on many occasion as you'd know. Is that because i'm 'pro Mick' or is that because i'm anti-everyone else? The club has failed us on numerous occasions in numerous departments, both off-field and on. As you might recall my recent Membership stuff-up rant.
I've had issues with the membership department.
I've had issues with the development of players.
I've had issues with the recruiting of the club (however, i've defended it to point out other areas of the club that are lacking - eg development)
I've had issues with club culture.
I've had issues with the board and overall direction of the club.
So yes, i've defended Mick as not being that bad to highlight issues throughout the club.
That does not mean i was pro-sacking of ratten in order to get mick.
Get your facts straight and don't assume.
