Anyone who reads any of my posts knows that I'm not the sort that demands the earth. I understand we are a Championship club and won't be signing the Mourinho's of this world nor bringing in Messi or Kaka anytime soon but Magilton and DJ Campbell? Is someone having a joke?
Jim Magilton took over a mid table Ipswich side and turned them into a mid table side. Since being manager Ipswich have finished 14th, 8th and 9th and has spent over £12m on players. He was sacked because of his failure to get his team out of this league. We had a manager in Iain Dowie that has experience of getting teams promoted. We've reportedly refused to pay Crystal Palace compensation to get Neil Warnock. Another manager who has got teams out of this league. I would prefer we reappoint John Gregory than Jim Magilton. I'm happy to blog this post and apologise to Magilton if he gets us up but what has he achieved in comparison to Paul Jewell, Sean O'Driscoll, Aidy Boothroyd, Paul Ince, Dennis Wise or Alan Pardew?
As for DJ Campbell, are we really intent in selling our top scorer to bring in a striker who Leicester and Birmingham deemed not good enough? Yes he finished the season very well but why don't we target someone who has consistently started and finished the past few season well like Tommy Smith, Andy Gray, Marcus Tudgay. 15 months ago we didn't go for Ebanks-Blake and a year ago we didn't go for Phillips. We could have and probably should have gone for James Beattie whilst he was still a Championship player.
I will back both if they sign and I will apologise to both if they succeed but DJ Campbell and Jim Magilton at Loftus Road? Tell me I'm not the only one who finds this very uninspiring!?!
