Old Fox Posted 10 February 2019 Share Posted 10 February 2019 He has to go simple - anyone would think he is the only manager that can work with young players which was always part of the vision from the owners! Stubborn, tactically poor and clearly going to lose us some top players who want to win things......like cups for example - time to go !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 10 February 2019 Share Posted 10 February 2019 Better to have a caretaker in charge till the summer then Appoint Rodgers unless he wants to come sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 10 February 2019 Share Posted 10 February 2019 He'll be gone in the summer without question, I'm not sure a good end to the season would even save him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is blinkered if you cannot see that he has no man-management skills and is deliberating alienating certain characters - some of whom have actually stayed very silent despite his arrogance and stubbornness.

Maybe I'm clutching, but it doesn't make sense to me to bring anyone in before the end of the season unless we absolutely want them. Can only see a caretaker until the end of the season, and I can't see how that's healthy unless the atmosphere in the dressing room is thoroughly toxic. I don't believe it is based on that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well get it done now then Babs. It's clear he's not on good terms with all the players. We may actually get more out of them under a caretaker.

Sooner the better before we end up in the Championship!! I'm not saying he doesn't have his faults, but if you're going to look at our recent results, I'd advise you take a look at Spurs' too. Even with Kane and Alli out, they've been flying. 10 wins out of 12 was it? They are still a very good team, much as it pains me to say. I respect what you're saying, but it is highly unlikely we are going to get relegated this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored to death maybe, but not relegated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm well aware we lost. As I've said elsewhere, this "weakened" Spurs team is still on a very very good run of form at the moment. It's almost like they're a team with lots of quality of depth, and we're not. Go figure. The results are poor, I agree, but the fixtures also need to be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 10 February 2019 Share Posted 10 February 2019 I'd be very surprised if this was the game that finally pushed him over the edge. Surviving Newport, home defeats to Cardiff and Southampton etc, then getting sacked after that performance away to Spurs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we know he'll blood the kids, so I'm happy to go on with that until the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles22 Posted 10 February 2019 Share Posted 10 February 2019 Don’t like not winning, and we’re doing that a lot lately. That said, today’s result is down to this being football and sports in general. Play well and lose. We’re not the first and won’t be the last to experience this illogical side to a game. It also sums up “the miracle” very nicely. As for Claude, he’s doing what Claudio and Craig didn’t know how to do and didn’t have the balls to carry through. I give him a ten for having the cojones to do what was necessary after 2015-16. Unfortunately, it might well cost him his job. But I see Claude as sticking to his principles of looking at establishing a longer term vision of improved sustainable quality without high priced transfers. If we do bring in someone else, they have a much stronger foundation to work with than had Puel not arrived. Reminds me of a lot of Pearson. Someone will gain significantly from the formers demise. Lucky him. And, again, typifying sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the fixtures considered when we went on the terrible run after January last season, or earlier in the season during an 'easier' run when we struggled, or what remains to be seen with the upcoming 'easier' run of games...or were excuses made? As i've said the damage has been done and he wants to thank himself lucky he's lasted this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
