Beren Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Press conferences cost money to organise you know. With the scrutiny shone upon the club by the SP and AO campaigns, I think it's more that they don't want to create a rod for their own backs by either: a) promising the world and failing to deliver/try to reach these objectives b) openly setting the bar low, and being rightfully vilified for doing so Not during ST sales time, any way. A different time of year and maybe they'd be more brazen and customarily insensate to fan opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueview Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Who's Simpson then? Played for City & Derby in the 80's/90's and been knocking around as manager/assistant to a few lower league clubs. Might have been at Carlisle with Garde Yay! watched him in the 80´s at a lot of games.. He was a total disaster as a lower league manager though so keep him in just a coaching role He was certainly no disaster at Carlisle, winning promotion 2 seasons in a row. Also found this on wiki "He was also named as the League Two Manager of the Year and in the League Managers Association statistics was the best manager in the country on points per game above Rafael Benítez". I was mostly thinking about Stockport where he outperformed your Carver in regards to avoiding winning games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If he is a great coach then im really excited to see how Abeid, Cabella and Perez progress next year. I hope Abeid gets another chance here. He had a great year in Greece and when he got into the team played well before his injuries. Then he comes back and makes a mistake against Man Utd which leads to a goal. After that, he barely featured and then it starts to be mentioned in news articles that the coaches don't think he can do this and that etc and he is likely to be one of the ones shipped out. He is still young so why not try to coach the lad to address the shortcomings in his game instead of writing him off. The attitude with Pardew and his staff seemed to be why bother trying to improve a player - just ship them out. So MYM couldn't head a ball (like the other central defenders could!) so why not coach so he learns how to do that. I can't believe how quick they were to write players off. That is why the coaches needed to go as these players need to be looked at though fresh eyes without being influenced by entrenched opinions. Hopefully such issues will now be addressed and we will see players starting to improve with the help of the staff. Abeid might not be good enough but it seemed that he was never going to get the chance to prove himself either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was arguably one of the best team meetings I've ever sat in as a bystander at the back. "I thought to myself if I was a player of his, would I know exactly what I need to achieve in the game, what was expected of me coming up against Ajax and what they are going to throw at us? "It was probably the most concise team meeting I've ever listened to, as a player and as a manager." Stuart Pearce gave him a nice backing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We will see an improvement from the players no doubt. When you go from the former staff to this guy it's going to be far different. Think he NOW has something to prove as this truly is his biggest job. He's not a royal cunt like Pardew and he's also got it in his to walk if he believes he can't do it anymore. I'm fully backing him once he's announced and will be hoping (praying) for sweeping changes in coaching, fitness, psychology, tactics and individual performances based on what I know of what he's capable of doing. Hopefully we sign some decent players and we flog the crap ones; hoping also we bring in the few frozen out ones and they get clean slates too. I want to get back to enjoying football or having some bit of hope - even if Ashley and co still own this club, I want to at least get some excitement or some joy out of this again.

At least he's a football man and he's not some fake smug cunt like Pardew. I'll disagree with much of what he does but he seems like a good guy who actually cares about his craft and his game. He will actually know what it's like up here when it's rocking and he will no doubt want to use that to his advantage. I will admit that I've not seen much of his sides since Boro and England so I'm lost as to how he plays football, the kind of players he relies on etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Definitely, he's a functioning football manager with some relevant experience, that's a big positive. And the second biggest positive is that he's been able to get rid of Carver and Stone, so a completely fresh start with the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
