Harbin's interview about Shezza

Very interesting article and Harbin says what many have suspected all along. You shouldn't judge someone by their media persona alone, fcuk the press and boo boys, I liked his public dourness

couldnt put it better myself Les mis. I hope in a few years time fans start to look at his time more favourably like they do Pulis now and realise he wasnt bad at all here.

He didn't preside over a win after falling behind.

That will always be the reply.

But that's not a personality issue Dick.

Personally I quite enjoyed the fact he wound up the media, especially our local media who are to journalism as Pol Pot was to child minding

Good read. But as a fan it is not my fault I did not get to know the real John Sheridan. He was here for 2 and a half years! He had his ongoing spat with Errington which resulted in negativity coming from Sheridan and Argyle, rather than positivity. He got arsey with the fans when they were fed up of the crap performances and started booing. He wouldn't move to Plymouth because his Mrs. objected, so stayed up north for half the week, every fortnight.

His whole image by the end was one of a man who just didn't want to be at Argyle or in Plymouth anymore. If this wasn't the case, he did and said very little to the contrary.

Foreshore, Les.

Tbh anyone who didn't realise that Shez managing PAFC was purely a means of gainful employment - and nothing else, was/is a bit deluded. He never pretended any different either, which is why I respected the bloke throughout his tenure. The funny thing is, if the Pasoti masses think that Adams is going to be any different in terms of blowing kisses to the crowd as well as the badge, they've got a rude awakening in store. The type of fella DA is, putting on a charm offensive will be even lower down the list of priorities than it was for Shez.

Im actually looking forward to DA telling it like it is, more than the fooking football!

A comparison with Pulis is laughable.

Sheridan ultimately failed and Dick's point above about the inability to come from behind says it all for me. Damning statistic.

As for his personality, I couldn't have given a flying one if he had the charisma of Davros off Dr Who if he'd got us promoted. Sturrock was hardly a barrel of laughs was he?

Ejh is right though - it seemed Sheridan's mind and will was a long way from HP before May.

Let's not dress him up as anything over than an average manager in a shit division. Pulis would have had us up by March in his first full season.

its not at all. When Pulis left there was quite a happy reaction from fans for it due to his style of football. Its only in recent years his reign is looked on for what it was a success. Sheridan did a good job it was unrealistic fools and the media that gave him the bad rep but in a few years time his era will be looked on more favourably too.

Very much a matter of opinion and perspective. An observer from the outside looking in would quite possibly be of the opinion that a manager who unquestionably kept the club in the football league, then oversaw two seasons of upward movement was by no means a failure. Why should finishing 7th in this division now be judged as failure anyway, given the circumstances that prevail when even sending a youth team to Ireland, painting the entrance or retaining the services of an experienced goalkeeping coach seem to be beyond the finances of the club?
