Interpolic Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's honestly the easiest job in world football now. In a thoroughly bleak season it has taken a dismal defeat against a side with 2 points in 17 games for the manager to experience any serious criticism. The remit is to exist with no fuss, if you do that then you're in no danger of losing your job. It's a piece of piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That’s disgusting, really. Imagine trying to run a successful business with a manager that pretty much says ‘come in and do some work if you fancy’. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Aye it does lead to a slack attitude, no the wonder players like Bruce if he gives them such an easy ride, when he loses their respect he loses the team and to me it looks like that process has started.

TRon Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Martin Hardy from the Times reckons he's lost patience with the players who have been telling him they want to play 3 at the back, and he's claiming he wants to go 4-4-2. He's blaming them for the defeats against Brentford and Sheffield in effect, although even if you believe his version, it just shows how indecisive he is. You're the manager you pillock, it's your job to decide formations. He must have lost quite a few of the players so tomorrow's team sheet should be interesting.

You're the manager you pillock, it's your job to decide formations. He must have lost quite a few of the players so tomorrow's team sheet should be interesting. He does not coach the team well enough to play a 4-4-2 as we look horrific defensively when he sets us up that way, which is likely why the players were against it. If he's going back to that again with his still horrific coaching and now the players being dead against it ... it is going to be an unmitigated disaster.
