S-Clarke Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 For one moment you thought he was accepting responsibility there, a tiny bit of humility. But no, very quickly he turned that into ''I got it wrong because I listened to others and ignored what I thought was right'. The bloke is so far out of his depth it's incredible. We've had some pretty shocking managers in my supporting life, but this guy is at the top of the list for me. Not just incompetent as a manager but one of the most unlikable people we've ever had. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 3 minutes ago, SNSUN said: And the cherry on top of our situation is the manager I wanted in to organise our defence, Dyche, has been taken by our immediate rivals and has already got a win on the board. Against Arsenal. So sacking Jones now is even too late for that to happen. God knows who we bring in but I'd take anyone now. Caretaker until the season ends. I wonder what that Jesus Christ is up to these days, we could use a miracle. Same. So called experts didn’t want us bringing in Dyche because he was a “hoofball merchant”, ignoring what he achieved at Burnley on a smaller budget than us, and today we’ve had to witness a relegation rival get a win in his first game against the league leaders whilst we carry on with this little welsh tosser. I hate him more than Branfoot, at least we won games under him. I’m not even upset about our current run, I’m just angry, angry that this whole situation was completely avoidable but a bunch of clowns with no emotional connection to our club found it acceptable to gamble our survival on a manager so clearly out of his depth, when other proven alternatives were available. Rasmus and the other cunts probably go to bed feeling like it’s just a bad day at work to them, but it’s so much more than that to us, and with the emotional roller coaster of relegation and battling to get promoted on the horizon for the next couple of years this is only going to get more painful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
