l444ry Posted 14 October 2018 Share Posted 14 October 2018 Seem to remember the days when it was reported that the Owners wanted European Football within five years. Would think that winning the Premiership ahead of target doesn't mean they'll suddenly settle for mid table mediocrity. Long may that continue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 14 October 2018 Share Posted 14 October 2018 From what I got told he had till this month, with which we're obviously only half way into; to convince the owners. Will be a very interesting end to the month, or not very depending on if the info was a load of B. Shakespeare was somewhat sacked out of the blue so it wouldn't surprise me if something similar happened with Puel. Although, personally i'm all for keeping him.

Ricey Posted 14 October 2018 Share Posted 14 October 2018 Lose to Arsenal and then fail to beat West Ham and I think the fans will turn. Rightly or wrongly. The situation with Puel feels like an inevitability ever since the last time we played West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure it will or should.....the owners are like the large majority still to be convinced as are a number of the players.... He is dull, uninspiring which is mirrored by his teams and this with a squad talented enough to be showing progress and entertaining the fans. Hopefully they will act and put us out of our misery so we can start to show some ambition on the pitch to match the owners off it! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is our squad is better than a top 10 finish,do you disagree? I think our natural position based on the quality of the players we have is somewhere between 7th and 12th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be achieved but it mostly depends on two top 6 clubs underachieving. 7 or 8 would be very good. 9 or 10 would be ok 11/12/13 would be a bit disapointing but not terrible if there are hopes for the future.

Think most of the forum would be happier if we were in league 1 as long as the manager did banters and we did long balls. Why didn’t you @ me, Well up for this.

Guy Posted 15 October 2018 Share Posted 15 October 2018 In this day and age of virtually every football fan wanting relatively instant success (whilst conveniently forgetting that we were a League One side this time ten years ago!), then a 5th-7th place finish next May would be the expected bare minimum requirement now for a team like us for many delusional fans (albeit after the unprecedented Prem. title triumph of 2016) but reality suggests that with our 'par for the course' squad for a mid table mediocrity finish (despite retaining the services of Maguire for this season), then the chances are that this will not be accepted by a 50% cut of the fans and/or perhaps the owners too - if their heads remain firmly in the clouds after 2016's unbelievable act of God! Puel skating on this ice throughout the entire season it seems, sooner rather than later - especially if we don't get 9 points out of the next available 13......

I really don’t subscribe to us having a mediocre squad and despite me always wanting to get behind Puel he makes bizarre decisions which often baffle the vast majority of fans. The man has clearly got something about him and bringing young English players through is commendable but the above makes it difficult to fully back him. Regarding the instant success comment, our fans have been very patient and at no stage have I heard a crowd fully turn against him but we want to see progress if we are committing to his long term vision and are we seeing that? I’m not so sure. Edited 15 October 2018 by Costock_Fox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the owner's ambitions and the players we already have, I think we need to think bigger than just mid-table, and for me, Puel is not capable of delivering that. All in all, we can debate the managerial position until the cows come home, but the owners will do what they think is best for the club. We really have no say in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"reported"... rather than reports you should probably focus on their own word, which in the summer they quite obviously realised that we're going through a transition period. Plus, if they want regular European football then they probably need to spend more, until then it's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the recruitment has been poor, how on earth do you think we've got the best squad we've ever had? It's a squad filled with potential, but so many are still completely unproven in this league.
