Fuck me, what metrics do our board use to scout managers?

Hopefully we finally get a new manager bounce. Chelsea haven’t been great for a while, so in theory we could get something. Although I wouldn’t bet on it. Chelsea 3-0 or 4-0 is more likely unfortunately.

I do think Marsch is a much better fit than Nathan Jones. But appointing someone that has just recently been a failure in the PL seems barmy. There must be some young, hungry tactical managers out there that can do a job. Yea we are shit & a basket case, but the PL and money is still a massive attraction. Jesse Marsch seems… unimaginative.

I was adamant that Ralph should go. But I think we would have at least 5 more points from those games under him. Utterly ridiculous/catastrophic appointment. Genuinely can’t think of a more suicidal decision by a premier league club than to appoint this incompetent fraud. Literally everyone could see it as well - its fucking staggering

He’s literally winning everything in the air and shown good strength lol. Give him a fucking chance

Get in. Who said tall paul isn’t winning headers? Give him a chance fuck sake. He’s winning everything

Obviously we need to win. The problem is, even if we lose heavily and sack Jones, I have absolutely zero faith in whoever they pick next. If they got it this spectacularly wrong, what makes anyone think their next pick will be any better? We have to win.

The Welsh David Brent will soon coach that out of him

Yep, it was. I think people should stop using his faith to bash him, personally. Think it’s out of order. Many of the best sportstars and coaches are religious. It has no bearing on his ability to manage. It’s a bit embarrassing to use it as a stick to beat him with.

Embarrassingly out of his depth. He should stop doing press conferences altogether. Every time he speaks he makes things worse.

I would rather sign Nathan Jones on an unbreakable 10 year contract than see Harry Redknapp walking down the opposite side of the road.

It’s pretty much nailed on that if we end up playing them, they will beat us. It’s just how football works

Thats because our squad was signed with Ralph ball in mind - work hard out of possession, close down opposition, pass and move. Jonesball is totally different. Kick it up in the air, swing crosses in, “be aggressive”. This was blatantly fucking obvious to absolutely everyone except the idiots in charge of the club. In some ways I feel sorry for Jones as he has been thrown in to a club that has zero players that fit his hoof ball league one tactics. But equally I don’t because he’s an absolute helmet.

Can we stick to wanking off dogs please

These utter, utter bell ends literally don’t have a scooby. How is this useless helmet still in charge. Ridiculous. Get him gone. You had your chance Jones. Then get Semmens gone. Then get Ankersen gone.

I can live with him digging back at fans etc. Fine. We’ve sung songs at him, we deserve some stick back if he turns it around and wins a game. (Not that he will). But I cannot live with him insulting individual players - specifically our best player - Lavia. Its fucking insane to keep him at this point. Literally insane.

Got to love the football forum classic of “blaming the fans” whenever anything happens. Sure.. it’s the fans fault that the clown: - Wasted the World Cup break - Made us worse defensively - Made us worse offensively - No clue who his best players are - Insulted the entire club & fan base - Alienated the players If anyone does know him personally (hot saint), please tell him it’s nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with his poor decision making. He’s achieved nothing in the game of note and never will.

I’m pretty sure if Jones did try and wank off a pet, domestic or otherwise, he’d do it wrong. Then claim he’s the best in Europe at it anyway

Get this fucking fraud out of our club. Absolute state of him. Embarrassing to everyone involved.

We earned our way into this league. It took years. It took money from Liebherr, Cortese’s cunning and then a team spirit which took us into Europe. We have had some amazing footballers and managers at the club. We were nearly extinct but we rose like a Phoenix. And what a journey it was. But now it’s all been pissed away by Rupert Lowe mk2 who thinks he has reinvented football. And some welsh prick who thinks he’s Jose Mourinho. It’s actually disgusting. I regret calling for Ralph to go. I thought we would appoint someone of premier league quality to light a spark at the club. But I would so much rather Ralph (who was a decent bloke) be here and go down and rebuild than these ****ing charlatans

We have appointed an utter clown. Deserve what’s coming tbh.

Down. Us and Everton are the worst teams in the league by a mile, and they’ve just appointed a decent manager. We are bad and have made ourselves worse. Need 3 points & a cracking performance today for me to have any hope.

This shows how horrific the rest of our defenders are to be honest.

Wtf is going on? Why is Orsic and our best CBS playing for the u23s?

Unfortunately this is sheer fantasy. These excuses never came out for Ralph. The same team under Ralph beat Spurs, Chelsea etc. If you want to exonerate the manager in this way, we should never have sacked him. The truth is, we have been losing games because we lose the midfield battle… because he’s been picking the wrong team time and time again. Favouring the wrong players and making baffling decisions. Literally the only positive over Ralph so far is that he makes earlier substitutions, when Ralph was too stubborn. Problem is it’s too late as his initial 5 at the back with no DMs playing has already cost us.
