RandomGuy Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 By all accounts Lomas had virtually lost the entire dressing room by the time he left, had fallen out with the chairman, and had fallen out with his coaching staff. If he'd stayed we be in a far worse position than we are, would never have had the joy of Stevie May and would never have won the cup.His achievements were good for us, but I'm loathe to say he's one of our best managers when he was well on course to destroy all the hard work that had been made to get us back to the top half, theres more to consider than simply league finishes.

Not bad for a manager who 'lost the dressing room.' I'm going to base my opinions on hard facts instead of rumours tbf.

Never a great fan of Lomas the man, but I think you've made this up. Especially the bit about Tommy, who I think has a lot more class than you have attributed to him.

Kyle Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Tommy said this recently in his Daily Mail interview;‘We’d had words a few times but the final nail for him was that I didn’t want to join him at Millwall,’ says Wright.‘Steve did a great job here, but it doesn’t bother me if people don’t speak to me. It doesn’t worry me in the slightest. It’s stubbornness on my part but I see no reason to pick up the phone. So I won’t.’He's said similar in the past as well - he didn't hear from Lomas in the build up to the final, wishing him luck, he hasn't spoken to Lomas since he left for Millwall etc - but I've never seen anything about personality clashes/conflicts when they were both at the club. They're both strong, stubborn characters and will obviously argue if they disagree, but I always got the impression that their working relationship was quite healthy.I've heard stories that the players didn't like Lomas much but those are rumours and ultimately well in the past now. On the pitch, they certainly played for him and achieved a 3rd place finish. Lomas' contribution shouldn't be underestimated - he managed two European finishes (one of which on a reduced budget, and after losing some excellent players the previous summer) and brought Wright into the club. I wouldn't go as far as hasting him back, but he deserves plaudits and his record will stand up to most other managers in our history. jhq, Lt Col Kojak Slaphead III, dave mc and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Didn't Lomas join WAP to slag off Del and say how great he was?In fact it was my dislike of Lomas that spurred me on to join WAP.

Pat McGroin Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 If I was running a football club, I would hope to be "having words" with my assistant regularly. If your assistant is a lap dog, he's not going to be much use. Both are clearly quite fiery, passionate characters but both go about things very differently. I'd imagine Lomas not getting in touch is probably more down to embarrassment of how things played out at Milwall and TW being correct than anything else. He seems quite a stubborn character.
