Never he will always be known as the man who had the most and no matter what he was given in front of him he would fail ,he even failed to win a game 4-0 up at half time :oops: :ayatollah:

So did Arsene Wenger but would you say he is a shit manager?

DJ done a remarkable job at City, his time was up at the club I admit that, but surely he has to be praised for the good work he done at the club.

Totally agree.
His time was certainly up and we have moved on but IMO he also did some very good work and will always have my respect.

anyone catch the irony here? "not mention" becomes a thread about jones

Here's the problem with DJ...
Like any job there are a number of things that need to be done.
To be a great football manager you have to be able to:

(1) build your contacts
(2) build a team
(3) understand strategy/tactics
(4) bring youth through
(5) bring everyone together, club, players, fans
(6) ensure you keep players under contract to not lose them as assets of the club
(7) have good relationship with the media
(8) be a people person!

His ability falls sharply as you go down the list. He only ticks some of the boxes. A new club may be thrilled early on with say his skill in (1) or (2) but eventually he is exposed in the areas he lacks.
