Expand Tek?

Tek, I was puzzled too, but I realise it's not the 'Forward Thinking' book you are talking about now.

Will get round to reading the newer one at some point.

It annoyed me a wee bit that he was happy to accept praise or point out the many good things he done at Plymouth,Sheff Wed,Swindon etc but i felt there was little or no acceptance of the mistakes he made in the dug-out at Tannadice.He instead tries to lay the blame at the door of the Board saying they wanted him to spend big and make marquee signings and he wanted to go with youth.

Sorry but he was VERY well backed as Utd Manager (better than any other Utd Manager infact) and the simple fact is that he wasted a lot of this cash with poor signings (Alex Mathie,Scott McCulloch,Tony Smith,Kevin McGowan,Pat Onstad,Neil Heaney etc etc).

I also didn't think his comments about Finn Dossing were necessary tbh.He is a Parkinson's sufferer also and Sturtock has a bit of a go at him for in his opinion being 'negative' about the illness and says he should be more optimistic about the disease like him (or words to that effect).

Everyone reacts to illness differently and i thought his comments were a wee bit off.

The other thing that (not so much annoyed me,but) disappointed me was he glosses over quite a bit of his achievements as a player at Tannadice.And there's virtually nothing said about his time as a coach or Manager.Other than he went against Golac's tactical wishes on at least one occasion.Again quite disrespectful in my book.

Most of the books about Plymouth.

Feel bad saying it but i was a wee bit underwhelmed in it.

 

Credit to you for an honest, frank-ish review Tek despite your reservations about being at all critical.

I didn't know Finn Dossing # 9 was a Parkinson's sufferer
