eelpie Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 He couldn't cut the mustard No, Coleman manages Coventry who beat us. But, the good news is that Lita is not leaving Reading, so he will score a few against our rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labibs Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 That is bad news. Friend of mine is a Norwich fan and he was convinced that they were going down under Roeder. They had a guy on loan from Celtic at the back and Lita up front, apart from that, very little. The defender got injured and Lita has gone, so there's not much left. Hopefully they will drag their heels over a replacement and we will face a demoralised team under a caretaker manager at Carrow Road. (Where we will be going for 3 wins in a row, obviously).

DT Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 I'll keep saying it, this "better records" thing, how does it apply unless they've managed the same team, and indeed, at the same time? Roeder had Norwich higher up the table, but we aren't Norwich. The logic seems to be, he had them higher up, so he'd have had Saints higher up. But I hope people can see that's nonsense. We have a different squad, different injuries, fixtures and so on. I'm not sure any other team has had to cut costs like we have this season. Have Norwich sent 3 top strikers off on loan to avoid administration? Have they HAD to field a team of kids? Honest answer is, I don't know. I don't follow Norwich, but I'd be surprised if they have had it as bad. We started the season saying we were "happy just to stay up". Did Norwich fans? If so, then they shouldn't have sacked him. If they expected much more and felt he wasn't getting the best out of his resources, then maybe they were right to get rid of him. Doesn't bear any meaning on Saints situation. I'm not about to say Jan is better or worse, as I don't know, but if your squad is poor, even a top premiership manager would struggle with no money and small wages. Would we still be bringing out silly statistics and meaningless comparisons about the "better records" of sacked managers? What if we'd spent 30m, performed even worse and teams above HADN'T sacked their managers? Should we then keep ours?? Of course not. It's an independent assessment, not about what other clubs do. What it boils down to is this: my opinion is that JP is not as strong on tactics or indeed in motivation (by the looks of it) as other managers who in my opinion (again) could get more out of the same squad, albeit one which as you quite rightly point out has been faced with severe financial pressures. Or so we are told. In my opinion (yet again) we should have employed Billy Davies when we had the chance, or better still, rewarded the man who kept us up last season with the continuation of his contract. I suspect that both men would have been better on tactics and motivation, but would have been problematic to Lowe because they would have been more vocal and more able to stand up to his ego.

VectisSaint Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 Seems everyone is at it. Sad that clubs get so desperate, afterall, if all struggling clubs sack their managers, 3 teams will still be relegated so not all can be a success. At least all these other teams recognise they have a problem and make an attempt to do something about it. But of course Lowe knows best, and like Donny he will preumably stick with his manager until we are in the third division and administration. It is quite shocking that most people would take almost any one of the managers (except Roeder) recently sacked at the other CCC clubs rather than our semi-professional 4th rate nice but dim coach. I just pray that even Lowe will see the light before it is too late, at least there are a few out of work qualified, experienced British managers out there looking for a job.
