Seems unfair to put this on him at an early stage of his career having seen how things worked out for Still

Interesting tgat they haven’t trusted him or Trollope for that matter with the main job.

Beyond belief that having seen a 33 year old bloke with limited experience in Belgium and France wasn’t up to the job, they turn to a younger bloke with less experience to bail them out!!! Ekert may be one for the future but this could easily derail his career, which is something we do quite well ( Jones, possibly Selles, and Still).

Wouldn’t want either to be honest. Someone for rest of season might be acceptable than a dullard like O’Neill. But no way do I want Lego back. He’s partly responsible for where we are now,

Sheff Weds (I think) but at The Dell

Talk about the success achieved by others it seems.

Sad to say it, but their selections have been such a clusterfuck that you couldn’t entirely rule it out. Would be worse than the proposed return of Hoddle in 2004

What the fuck are they waiting for ? Perhaps they’re waiting on Nivea to give them the nod that he’s had his beard trimmed for photos on the training ground tomorrow.

For the second year running. The big opportunity to sell the idea of a ‘reset’ was in the summer. But we bollocksed it up with Still. It’s no longer appointing for a ‘reset’ , and difficult to ‘sell’ the strategy for rebuilding, it’s now bordering on desperation. The fans see it, as will anyone we’re talking to (and their agents).

Someone tell Spors, in case he needs telling, that you can sack a manager on a Sunday

some good points; Jones - agree to a point, but wrong man at the wrong time. Had we brought him in after relegation I suspect he’d have been better received and done a decent job. Still - out of his depth (being kind). Mowbray - I like him but he was poor at WBA, has had health issues, and would us sacking his brother endear us to him? Like the idea of an experienced head for now, even if it changes in the summer when better longer term options may be available. Next appointment - I expect Nivea as a short term option.

That’s fair comment, as it’s difficult to detect from the outside where specific responsibilities - and with it the blame- begins and ends. This would influence many things at the club perhaps up to recruitment stage. Beyond that, team selection, motivation, and of course game management (including subs) rests with the manager (although it might also raise questions over the daft bastard who appointed him).

“Vagina”, good idea. Follow Saints Womens team instead.

Worryingly, Spors and co I suspect.

So in summary, Rasmus ‘doing okay’, Spors ‘ok’ , in which case have to wonder what or where the problem is? Agree about Downs and Stephens. Each to their own view, but I’d disagree that Still ever looked anything other than another unmitigated gamble let alone a good appointment at the time.

Fuck off to that. I’d prefer Fat Sam - and I detest him - or Pulis ahead of Lego.

Rasmus has previously been closely involved on the football side of things, but what do you regard as Parsons failings on that front ? You may be right but I thought Parsons focussed on the commercial side of things, leaving the football to the “experts”.

You’re probably right, but what is wrong with the people running the club ? He isn’t up to it, should have gone last international break, yesterday or today. We can’t afford to let winnable games drain away. What a clueless bunch of dribbling retards we must have at the helm of the club.

Over Farm Market ? Been out collecting your pumpkin have you ?

I posted on the Spors thread earlier today, that Patrick Vierra has been sacked at Genoa. He’s been a bit of a failure around the place, but possibly a Spors appointment (mmm, wonder is that connected ???) at Genoa. Another one you hope doesn’t rock up with us,

Isn’t he a ‘Fake Sheikh’ who has already bollocksed up a club in Spain? Think it’s one to steer clear of.

Is he the ‘German Will Still’ , young, inexperienced but good with a laptop? If so, good call.

We don’t make quick and kneejerk decisions. Those making the decisions go home, twiddle their thumbs, bit of naval gazing, and possibly have a wank in the bath. They’ll then sleep on it so as not to make any rash decisions. Tomorrow they’ll find some other distractions. Eventually they’ll decide to give him the next transfer window and park any decision.

I also wanted Rohl and thought that the obvious route we’d go. Perhaps it was just too obvious, and others (Spors?) just wanted to put his own mark on it, or perhaps it was too difficult to get him out of Sheff Weds. Leaving aside the decision in the summer, it is even more galling that Rohl was unattached a few weeks ago (last international break) yet we leave Still in place, throwing away some winnable games in the process.

As did some of our Nods who saw him talking to Carragher. Have a look at the next manager thread which was closed when he was appointed.
