However, if there was one manager I would trust to build us into a consistently strong team, challenging for silverware season on season it would be Rafa and I don’t think it would take him more than three years. Gutted we didn’t get the takeover sorted when he was here Yup, the premier league fucked us with the timing of it all. It could have been perfect.

KaKa Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Allardyce blaming the fans again today I see. Apparently we were so bad defensively because 50,000 excited Geordies demand attacking football and it leaves the defence vulnerable Imagine how clueless you have to be to say something like this, and this is someone that has been a manager for decades man. Apparently in football you can only either attack or defend and not be able to do both at least half decently as a team. It's the exact same thing Bruce pushes after every single game. 'We've tried to change things by going on the front foot and this has left us open defensively now'. And so alternatively their solution is just to have ten men in our own box and have us lose by slightly fewer goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Aye, its a pity you can't coach some sort of balanced play, eh?? Its either park the bus or all out attack. There really is no middle ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I tell you what, this has been a pretty demanding past week for the fans. Firstly signing the takeover off, and now being responsible for the team not being able to play balanced football. What do we fancy doing this week lads? Fancy sacking Bruce?

I'm very nervous for them. It's going to be tough. Which half decent manager is going to look at our current situation and fancy it. Rafa would have been perfect as he was looking for a project. The rest just want to walk in to a club with everything in place. Thanks to fucking lard arse we're looking at a relegation scrap already. It's annoying how the tosser is sitting on his hands waiting for a nice pay off whilst the club he apparently loves is nosediving into the championship. Utter wanker.

Kimbo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Any manager that doesn’t have enough confidence in his ability to turn this season around wouldn’t be worth hiring. It’s not like we’re cut adrift at the bottom yet. I don’t buy this narrative that the job is unattractive, there’s a huge and rare opportunity here for someone to build something significant.

We barely had a shot after the first 15 minutes, but aye the attacking football was our problem. He's just another bitter cunt ex manager, along with all the others we hear on a weekly basis.

Yeah, not having the “can’t attract someone good enough” line. Managers strive to win and (almost uniformly) back themselves to do a good job. That’s before mentioning a fat contract and the promise of millions in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’m all in on Emery, he would give us a chance in any game with his ability to set teams up and despite us having a weak squad I think some of the players here would fit in well with how he sets teams up and plays the game.

I think we could appoint someone on an 18 month contract (at least), and be able to give them that time. I don't think there'll be any sort of 'crazy' investment in the team in either january or the summer. Lots of change possibly, but measured recruitment, and it just needs someone to keep us up this season, and oversee the start of the changes. Steady things / consolidate next season, make sure we aren't in a relegation battle again, then the summer after could be the start of the real push on. Give them 2.5 years, target to build a solid top ten team, that can form the basis for our back up going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no middle ground. Bruce has nailed the middle ground in that he’s too shit to park the bus and too shit as an attacking outlet other than give the ball to ASM & Almiron and get them to run with the ball for 60 yards.
