It is crystal clear he is out of his depth. However, as said already by so many, SR will only replace with another dud experiment. Also, who is there out there now available we would want? For me, we would have to try and poach a decent championship manager and I am not so sure many would want to come here. I said it weeks back, something is wrong within the club somewhere. Coaching staff, high up management...not sure where but someone who has an affect on the players. Someone or something or both, is poison within the club and creating bad vibes. We have very good players and with a normal manager and no bad vibes we would for sure be in the top six with this lot. Without even a striker I still believe we are good enough to be top six. Something is very wrong inside SFC. All our decent players go backwards in ability. We seem to anti-coach them. 

Good post. Also, why did you steal Nic's log in?

Have you not twigged yet that our continued dive into oblivion coincided with Semmens making the stupid decision to sell the club to Sports Republic.

It doesn’t matter who we bring in, the implementation of tactics and patterns of play are not being communicated from manager to player.  The intermediary in these comms are the coaches and that’s where the problem lies.

Steve Cooper?

I would at least try and buy him out of Brondby.  Unlikely to happen though.

Guys i might be in the minority but still has us creating chances, apparently defending well according to the Xg table someone posted we should be 2nd.

The issue is lack of finishing and personal mistakes.

If SR are brave enough to make the change, I doubt we will go with anyone currently employed. Seems a likely shoot out between Gerrard and Carrick. Surely even the twats running the club aren't going to consider Rooney?

About four weeks of posturing, lots of ‘many strong candidates’ and ‘great deal of interest from home and abroad ‘ ….. then appoint some fucker who is unemployed and available weeks before.

Just a few times.

Think they should rehash Rupert’s favourite ‘no one’s ruled out, no one’s ruled in ‘ mantra from his time with us, when on a managerial search.

Perhaps they’ll just give Nivea a run out as interim, then announce until end of season. Saves them from actually making a decision.

If Rooney has got a laptop, skinny jeans and vapes like a cunt I wouldn’t rule him out.

Carrick might tick the skinny jeans criteria. Probably uses a laptop. Has a beard as well.

No idea of his vaping credentials.

This is true, but my question is why? Finishing obviously is due to the club repeatedly not signing a decent big striker.

Personal mistakes is a bit more complex - take their first goal…you could argue that the scuffed attempt at a clearance by Wood was unlucky and let’s face it, Wood has looked good value lately. But when you look at where the entire defensive line was when he had to kick the ball (almost on the halfway line), which in turn allowed their striker in, you have to question the tactics or at least the coaching of tactics. Why did the defensive line need to be so high? Well because that’s the way we’ve played for 4-5 seasons now - every forward ball HAS to start with a CB who then passes out to a wing-back who invariably goes backwards to a CB ad Infinitum. This method of play persists - who is stipulating this? It’s a massive big deal because not only is it losing us games, it’s instrumental in not allowing the new players to make a positive impact on performance. I’m no tactical expert but to my mind it simply has to be stamped on or we’ll keep falling.

I think Still is out of his depth,but how many on here think Spors is capable of making the right call ? I certainly do not, surely an English manager who knows the championship,can motivate players and can be a hands on coach [ as opposed to a computer manager ] is the way to go.
