Ross Lyon gave us a period of very successful (home and away) football, but was found wanting in successive Grand Finals, I don't have any bitterness toward him for that. Apart from the replay in 2010, the games could have gone either way. I was disappointed in the manner in which he left the club, but no use in crying about it three years after the fact. Alastair Clarkson may well be a "great bloke" (or a complete knobhead) he does not receive his salary for being a good bloke, but a good coach, and (IMHO) history has shown the answer to the question, of who (between him and Lyon) is the better coach. I (for what it's worth) think that we blundered in employing Watters (hindsight is a WONDERFUL thing is it not? ) now that we have Alan Richardson as senior coach, I believe quite frankly that discussions about previous coaches serve no useful purpose at all (other than in providing an interesting hypothetical debate)
GO SAINTS!
(To hell with the rest!)
Great post. Cuts through the BS
