Don't try and downplay what Morrell did. You wrote that as if its easy. Ask Bryan Hughes how easy it is just to keep things ticking along and then challenge again the next season.
The reason people bang on, as you put it, about Morrell is because he's the only manager since being in non league to actually achieve something here.
Keates isn't fit to lace his boots.
You seem to have forgotten the team Hughes and then Keates inherited, the majority of the squad were challenging for the league under Ricketts.
Lets not try and rewrite history trying to make out Keates inherited a poor squad. After Hughes was sacked a good manager could have turned our season around. Unfortunately we got Keates who made us worse and we sank even lower.

I don't care how it sounds. Those are the facts, Morrell inherited THE best team we have had since we have been in division. The side Hughes inherited was nowhere near.
You can refer to Keates as many times as you like. I cant be arsed debating him on here as most have made their mind up on him, that's why I purposely did not make reference to him. His win percentage is crap, and he may be the worst person on planet earth, but I wouldn't beat him over the head with the win percentage.
I stand by my original point, win percentages aren't the be all and end all. Stats like that ignore mitigating circumstances, and you can manipulate them any which way you want. As I said.
