i give him credit for getting us out of div3 and he finally got it right after completely screwing up in playoffs against cardiff and and Watford both of which I unfortunately witnessed) however he'd gone into 'ostrich' mode before cambiasso took over and kept us up.whatever. you want him to be the next manager

.....If I remember correctly, Cambiasso was part of the team that struggled throughout the season. I am not too sure what was his input in respect of the last nine games.

  Pearson finally released his players to play as per the previous season, it took him a long time to get round to it and he freely admits he was wrong to not go with the way we had played in the Championship.

So do I, I've got a feeling they've had enough of paying people off.

Same here , gonna buck popular opinion too , got a funny feeling the owners will stand behind him.

Probably still paying Claudio and Shakeys compo .

I would love Puel to prove me wrong, he showed great positive signs early on but the last 18-20 games have been dull... it makes it difficult for me to get excited about him taking us into a new season, but if he is still here then I will obviously give him my full backing

I honestly don't understand the problem. Puel said he's gonna mess about and experiment coz the season is dead and its all dead rubbers and now the fans are moaning about results. I mean people can sometimes complain they don't know what's going on but in this case he said what's going on. Now everyone's moaning about performance/results and wants to sack him.  Some are saying he has to get results against arse and spuds. with injuries and suspensions we have. jeez. no manager could do that. who cares. go to beach like the players and let them finish their experimentation.  Next season we can judge,, you guys and gals have too much time on your hands.

....there is no experimentation happening! the same players every week some in the wrong position, constantly playing the same formation and expecting a different result. Young players given a role was borne of necessity.

 Just looking at what he does, picking the team,the choice of players his substitutions, as opposed to what he has previously attained some time ago, leads you to believe that he does not understand what he is doing in respect of this squad. If you should take out his previous history in France and use the last season with Southampton you surely can not come to any other conclusion that he is not suitable.

  David Moyes was looked on as a "miracle worker" as he kept Everton up  on a supposed shoestring year after year finishing just outside the top 6. We now know better as he has been found out and is living off his previous history which desperate clubs hope that he will get them back to his previous standings.

  The fact that he has been given a stay of execution has somewhat muddied the water as it now cuts down the time that a suitable candidate can be found and be in place, to get in players and implement a style, as this is a World Cup Year and time is short.

Was spunking the Fa Cup and the chance of a Europe up the wall not a clear indicator of his incompetence? Seen more than enough.

Makes sense if true, although i'd sack him if we lose tomorrow and get a jump on other teams looking for a manager and also get someone in sooner to start work on what is going to be a huge summer for us!

Only unemployed managers though not convinced that's a good tactic.

Good that they've made their intentions clear.

 

We can only back him as fans now. Let him have the summer, let him get his players in and then lets judge in October/November.

I don't want his own players in. His style of football is awful, please don't waste our transfer money on players that will suit drab football. :(

yep, I agree about the Dragovic/Morgan selection. Wrong decision to make.

 

But is he the first manager ever to make the wrong decision about player selection? Nope. My point being is that Puel has been given such a hard time so far and he's barely even got started here. So much unwarranted vociferous criticism aimed at him. Not to say he should be immune to it, but the volume of it has been OTT. 

Not OTT at all. We have seen his style of play and it's bloody awful. He couldn't pick his nose never mind his best eleven. Even the players have had enough of him, what more do you need to say farewell? He is clearly out of his depth. an old man trying the same tactics he had mild success with years ago. the game has passed him by and once he tried his hand at the premiership he has been found out not once but now twice. You don't have to be a great footballing brain to know this, all you had to do was watch his last ten games.

The early promise and when we got enough points to stay up was before he started to employ his own tactics, it's been downhill ever since.

Deciding Puel's future on the next three games is a ridiculous strategy and if true, a sign of the misdirection of our club from the top.

Yep. Totally unfair. We’ll learn barely anything from the next few games whatever happens. Scary if he’s really being judged on them.

It's not suddenly been dropped on him though has it?

 

Do you not understand the reasons that poor performances and results have led to him being in this situation?

 

I do however agree from the angle of it's got to this point, we're (the fans, a majority) questioning him, the owners have obviously discussed it for this 'backing' to be announced so if we're (Collectively) questioning things, 'giving' him 3 games, it doesn't bode well for the future and ultimately going to end one way, may aswell do it now, even if the 3 games are successful for him, chances are more questions will be asked again shortly.

If the players want to keep him they can play better. If not then it’s au revoir monseiur

He's being judged on his overall point tally and it's a  relegation tally. Nothing to do with the last few games. scary if anyone thinks anything different.

Oh, people have been "moaning" for quite a while now...

 

If we were in 7th or 8th spot right now on the back of a couple of positive results, having made our way up there, I‘d agree. Then we could „experiment“ to eternity, no matter what the area (personnel, tactics). However, ...

 

His league records reads four wins in 18 or two out of the past eleven. We were once above Burnley in the standings and have plummeted ever since, both in the table and in performances. Coupled with questionable team selections and match assessments, you cannot prevent people from holding him up against these „achievements“.

Well if Percy is right that he has he next three games to save his job then by definition I think it probably does having something to do with them. If they’re undecided on whether to keep him based on the season so far then there’s no reason why 3 otherwise inconsequential games which nobody gives a fvck about should count for anything.

For me no need to sack him now, but if we don’t see any massive improvement over the last 20 in these 3 games then he must go... I know how the saints fans feel now and I apologise to them, just hope if I do sack him then we make a better appointment then they did
