I just dont see Middlo as the greatest manager thats all its called my opinion.

He has had the best financial backing over the years at Poole and has been able to change riders as and when Poole need to. 

In my opinion Rosco and Adams have proved they can do it at other clubs with less resources.

Lets see how Middlo can do at a different club is all im saying.

Poole fans will quite rightly feel he is the best because he has managed their club but i think any manager could have managed Poole..............he was awful as Team GB boss.

 

Don't think you can hold his GB record against him, the only time we had a chance was in 2004 when we could have won, all the riders always pulled out their best for Middlo.

It goes both ways. 

A lot of people say Sir Alex is the greatest manger of all time. (Yes, he did manage more than 1 team) but the success was with 1 team that was the richest and had the best players in the world. 

You still have to win. And I think some of 8 prem titles middlo has been pretty impressive. Yes, 2013 was quite easy but 2015 he kept the side together after the shock. 

I do get the argument though. 

But I would certainly not describe Adams and Rosco as great if middlo isn’t described as great. In 20 years time people remember championships more than anything else.

I wonder if Matt was the one finding the riders and putting the team/changes together. I don't know, but Matt certainly knows the rule book inside out ;)

If anyone agrees with you or not it matters not. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

In my opinion I believe Neil has done a great job. But that's my thoughts.

I love it when Alex Ferguson's reign is described as being easy as the richest club. The majority of the winning under Ferguson's reign was with players coming through the ranks of the club which is where the club's wealth came from.

For me, Middleditch has just been Ford's puppet. Ford says who rides for him, who's sacked, which replacements are needed etc.

Middleditch for Poole is exactly the same as a team leader / supervisor in business, powerless in hiring and firing and just there to fire up the staff employed by someone else. 

Matt Ford is the reason and only reason for Poole's success.

Anyone with half a brain knows Ford is behind the Poole success, who do you think was texting Middlo during the matches.

It reads like you are knocking Neil, he has given Poole amazing service both as a rider and a manager. If the riders aren't performing then you have to change them, probably joint decisions with Matt Ford, i expect changes this season too, the team we have i don't think is good enough..

No issue with you having your own opinion, but many of your previous opinions have been supported by your 'facts and figures'.  I'd just like to know what they are to support your opinion about Middlo in comparison to Rosco or Adams?! (Incidentally if you believe Rosco and Adams have achieved what they've done without some very strong financial assistance from their respective senior promoters then you are sadly mistaken!)

ps. I'm not too up with Adams managerial career, but where else has he proved himself other than Wolves?

pps. You might wish to ask your mate Mark Loram how he would rate or compare the three!!

The best person Mark ever worked under was Colin Hill but yes Mark got on fine with Middlo
