Guest Bert Shaft Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We're certainly right in line to be the most tremendous team in the Championship. 18th most tremendous.. deffo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 He's not doing enough to make a poor squad better than it actually is. Saying that I don't really buy all these 'the talent is there' comments. In terms of experienced PL players in their prime who are actually good, we started the season with Krul, Sissoko and Janmaat. That's it. Everyone else is old, new, young or shit. Not exactly a great situation to go into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't dislike Steve McClaren as a person - he seems a decent bloke and I wish it would work out for him for all our sakes. I also hate changing managers and think that stabilty brings success. However, that is only if you have the right bolke in the first place. Unfortunately Steve is just not a good enough manager and never was. Most of us knew that from the start but he was an easy choice as he was free and available. Never in Ashley's tenure have we gone out and actually spent money to recruit a manager/coach who was on the up at his current club. It seems to be the feeling that the coach is more or less an irrelevance and if we spend money on half-decent but cheaply acquired players now and then any old fool should be able to mould them into a side capable of keeping the TV money rolling in. We would be much better off if Charnley admitted he got it wrong in the summer, and we used the Townsend or Berahino money to sack off McClaren and bring in a top coach. Despite the fact we are missing a natural goal scorer, a left back, and a centre-half (at the bare minimum), this current squad has enough about it to already be at the 30 point mark in the right hands. Even if they wanted to continue the current approach and get a manager who is free, they could still improve with Rodgers, Moyes or Benitez. OK, so I'm in cloud-cuckoo land with Benitez, but provided they give the new bloke a greater say in transfer dealings then they've got a chance with the other two. Personally I'd take Rodgers over Moyes as I like his style of football and think he would be a good fit for us, but I've always been a fan of Moyes too and if you're going to give someone a longer period to get it right he could be just the bloke. For someone as stingy as Ashley, I still can't believe that he can't see this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 we wouldnt be where we are if we had moyes or benitez, I'm pretty sure of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 we wouldnt be where we are if we had moyes or benitez, I'm pretty sure of that. Exactly - none of Rodgers, Moyes or Benitez were free in the summer but they are all free now. They may have some contractural agreement with their last clubs that we need to cover but it's better than what we will lose if we drop out the league. With a nine day break before the next game now is the time to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a nine day break before the next game now is the time to move. Its never going to happen while Charnley is MD because he would have to admit he got it wrong, yet again (Carver!!!) and would be exprected to tender his resignation, I am assuming Ashley will have a clause in his conract that means no pay off if he resigns. However, when, not if, we get relegated he will be sacked and replaced by the groundsmans assistant, and will no doubt be entitled to a massive golden handshake for abiding by the perennial confidentiality clause in the severance package. Money!!! thats all these cretins are interested in rather than doing the honourable thing and admitting they are just not up to the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 5 points in the last 7 games he has to go before it's too late and maybe it is already. How people can even attempty to try and stick up for this fraud is honestly bewildering. As long as we can get someone in better, Any idea which mug that would be ? Moyes or Rodgers ? Moyes, maybe. Rodgers? Fuck that. We need someone with character. If our squad stays the same, only a fucking Mourinho has the bollocks and fire to save us.

With football it's a completely different ball game (excuse the pun) because soccer players are essentially thick as two short planks and don't understand the word motivation unless it's mentioned in the same sentence as win bonuses.
