This isn't the 80's mate, players don't react to hairdryers. They want structure, tactics and nurturing. It's not a case of just pumping it forward and kicking a boot at the players if they make a mistake.

Archer isn't a player for a Martin system, he's for a quick counter team, so he can play off the last man. A Martin team doesn't play that way. Downes can only play a possession game - he's rubbish at everything else as I warned in the Summer. There was a good reason he didn't get game time for West Ham.

Yep, as a number of people have said on here over the past few months, it doesn't matter what manager we bring in, it literally can't get any worse. Except it can.

Various issues at play here. 1. The players absolutely loved RM. Juric is not popular, already. 2. Defence is not good enough to play 2 CBs. Midfield is not good enough to play 2 CM's. Means we really need to play with no striker to have a chance, but we've already tried that and it didn't work. 3. The advantage of RMs system was that it tended to keep the ball away from the other team so they couldn't attack us as much. Since we started to look to move the ball quicker and surrender possession we have really been starting to concede goals. 4. I don't think our fans fully appreciate how poor these players are versus the rest of the league - they're bang average Championship players. 5. No decent UK based managers wanted the job because they realised this and we're on a hiding to nothing. As I told you all in October, and has recently been backed up in the press, Moyes was not interested as he has enough of a career and enough money to not want to bother with a "difficult" job.

I'm guessing TBF...is it not about me then?

I've got no idea, I don't see his posts unless he is quoted - it's essentially a "man shouts at clouds" situation.

Bit harsh to wish a man who's just lost his job to also lose his relationship isn't it?

I'm no lt taking you off ignore Weston, so stop following me. Even after your grovelling apology via DM - I told you then and I'll tell you now, I do not want to see your posts. I just don't understand why you are so obsessed with having my attention.

It depends what gets agreed with the severance package - some are up front and some are paid over time. If up front I'd expect us to have to sell in January (or sell before the start of next season - so a quick sale along the lines of Fofana's at Leicester).

I'm waiting to hear. Not decided if I'll share or not considering the constant shit I get on here tbh. People will find out soon enough so not really sure what advantage it gives. I'll sleep on it and let you know in the morning (if I'm told). We previously did enquire about Moyes and Potter, but were roundly turned down.

Odd way to phrase it, isn't it?

He's an agent.

Well, that's when my mate got the call, so probably a few minutes before that.

It was decided before or during the game - we were enquiring about a few managers literally 20 minutes into the game - my friend is in Dubai on holiday and has had it cut rather short...

TBF, not much more I can do to prove my credentials than get things right. If people don't want to believe me, then that's fine. However, I was literally the only poster to state it as a fact on the site until about 45 minutes ago. I may be a prick, but that doesn't mean I'm not correct. It just makes me a prick.

Another CoT exclusive... But seriously, stop playing the poster all the time guys.

You're welcome guys and gals.

It's what I heard just over an hour ago (and reported on the match thread).

Completely agree. The atmosphere should be hostile but yet again we're being pussies and sound like we're behind the team. The manager, the owners AND the players are utter fucking shit. We shoud be letting them know that not singing for their fucking dinner.

What, that I live a long way from the ground? Was it that I have said this multiple times that led you that conclusion?

Yeah, my bad 😂

No, I live nearly 3 hours ago and am not a big enough fan tbh.

My usual contact - best mate from Uni - works as an agent.

I said that earlier, had a call. He's done.

Thank fuck we didn't have to hear him slurping his cum out of Martin's arse after the game then.
