triggs Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Actually wanted Bradley to do well because of the shit Robbie Savage was talking when he got the job. As well as that he was doing badly but I think it's a bit harsh to judge managers when they don't get a pre season with the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Madness is they gave him a 3 year contract, a year more than they gave Guidolin who was 10 times the manager and saved us the previous year. Who do you want? Someone who brings back the style we've lost. I felt sorry for Guidolin, he was shafted, no attempt at strengthening the squad in the summer. Players were available and wanted to come but we made no bids, the owners were too busy sorting out their personal nest eggs. In the end we lost some good players and tried to replace them with last minute bargains with no attempt to improve on last years squad. We started the season weaker and lost every game in a very hard patch of games, where other seasons a bit of luck would see a draw or an unexpected win. We were getting better, never looked out of depth and with just a bit of luck could have snatched a few points. Then Bradley was brought in. When we brought managers in before, the board made sure they had a plan and the guy appointed already knew about every player in the team. Bradley seemed to know nothing, continuously chopping and changing, not knowing the best formation, mixing a blend of players on the pitch with disaster all over it. The West Ham game a perfect example, at home against a relegation rival and picks a team with 9 defensive players in it! Almost every game the players picked were inappropriate for the opposition. He should never have been appointed. For the first time ever a fans poll has the majority at 82% predicting relegation. I have zero coinfidence that the guys in charge will make the right decision.

Deuce Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Actually wanted Bradley to do well because of the shit Robbie Savage was talking when he got the job. As well as that he was doing badly but I think it's a bit harsh to judge managers when they don't get a pre season with the team He didn't inherit a good situation at all but he also didn't have them showing any kind of improvement. It's a shame because he is a highly-respectable manager and he'll never be given another chance in the country, while complete and utter shit like Pardew continue getting looks.

It was inevitable,' Carragher told Sky Sports. 'I think they had to make that decision. 'The decision was questioned when he first came in.

The Durutti Column Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Doubt it with BFS parking the bus. More like a 0-0, with Pardew bringing on the old left back with ten minutes to go. He has many strange tactics Pardew but that one has to rate up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Giggs seems to be one of the favourites which would make no sense considering Swansea have already rejected him first time around and he 'didn't interview well' last time.

Altamullan Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 That's two of my three gone now. Phelan next on the list; what is it with ex Man Utd no 2s? Perhaps it is just the coach to main man step not being a safe or easy transition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is just the coach to main man step not being a safe or easy transition. Tbf to Phelan, I doubt many managers could keep that Hull team up. They were the fourth best team in the championship over the course of last season and haven't bought anyone decent to add to that. They've also seemed to be pretty unlucky in a few games I've seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If Swansea hire Pardew that all but confirms their relegation. They deserve some kind of award and special recognition for being as stupid as they are if they go and hire another s*** c***. Hire Pardew and I shall enjoy watching them crash and burn as I was enjoying Palace's demise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say this, but it really doesn't, Pardew always has a decent start at the clubs he manages, it'd be next season if he we're to get the job that the shit will come.
