hithere Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 An American owner needs a new coach to save his club from relegation. He appoints a disinterested, semi-retired foreigner with an abrasive militaristic personality to manage the club's ill-fitted group of mercenaries and cokeheads.

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 At this point in the season tactics are meaningless. It's about man management : see Di Canio, Pooyet, Pardew, maybe Sherwood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So the Mackems despite actually being involved in relegation are STILL better run than us, seemingly having a plan! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well we've always know they're better run than us. Almost everyone is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 In a way like, yet they're still down below us every season so they can't be that well run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm trying to remain optimistic. The managers who've rescued them lately have been hungry, young, energetic managers. Dick was great in his day but is definitely past his best, hopefully he just sees this as an easy payday. Let's just pray Burnley can do their bit.

afar Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think that's a good appointment by the mackems, he's a name and that's something that their players will respond to, certainly in the short term, so it pretty much guarantees them another derby win. Win a couple more and they will probably be safe. I don't believe the bottom three as of today will be any different to the bottom three come the end of the season.

Dick was great in his day but is definitely past his best, hopefully he just sees this as an easy payday. Let's just pray Burnley can do their bit. Tough to call how this will pan out, but I don't think giving it him until the end of the season will help. He doesn't know the league, or indeed his players, yet he has to hit the ground running. On top of that, there's nothing much in it for him whether they stay up or go down. He's a decent manager, but I don't think he will be able to turn their horrendous form around.

Just having a different manager might get them putting more effort into their game. I'm not sure it will make any difference but probably worth a try.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just a change will probably give them enough of a boost to keep them up, especially now they have Defoe. After that I don't have a clue how good Advocaat is at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their midfield was already shite and now they're without Johnson, Giaccherini and Buckley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
