Now Derek has been appointed as gaffer, I just hope the continuous back and forth chat about Jim will cease.
There is no point in saying “Jim would’ve done this instead” or “Jim would never have done that” or “Jim wasn’t like this” etc etc etc
We are all guilty of posting ‘not-so-wise’ things, but now we need to just watch Jim from afar, wish him the best of luck, and not compare him to the new man in charge. All our support is now with DA to deliver our objectives this season, and we need to, as a community, stop with any toxicity that has surrounded the last few days around a living legend who gave everything for this club.
Of course Derek will do things differently, and has a different outlook on football, but we all, myself imcluded, need to recognise that we had Jim for so long that any little niggle that may spring up, that didn’t spring up before, isn’t a huge issue that needs to be over-exaggerated, and we need to give Derek time and space to stamp his methods on the club.
From the interview posted in another thread, he sounds like a perfect fit, so big credit to the board for getting a solid replacement so quick.
