The fans start showing discontent, then the media jump on it and start linking us with other managers which then makes some fans show even more discontent. I actually feel that if he went on a 5 game winning streak, most on here would still want him gone. When did 8th in the league become so unacceptable?

The outers will at best stay quiet when we win and then start polls and Puel out threads after the very next defeat. It won't stop until he goes.

If we make the wrong appointment, whether it be now or in the summer, then it could be a disaster. While i dont disagree with people that we need to play more exciting football, i dont want to be playing exciting football in the championship. There are probably only 2 or 3 managers i can think of that would come here and wouldn't be a disaster throwing us back into the releagtion mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly about performances, tactics, player roles - and recent results, of course. The previous "reality check" piece doesn't really help Puel, does it? With regards to league position, my main concern is that we're about to see us repeat the mistakes from last season. I do hope we take the one goal left to us serious - finishing 7th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire has said as such, that we're going for 7th. I'm sure as high up the league as possible is the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club decides it's better to sack him, so be it. I'll back the next one like I did with his predecessors, but I really took the measure of a fan during this last year.

I agree with that. And if we repeat the end of last season then he absolutely has to go. The last 3 results have been pathetic as has our inability to beat crap teams but there is also a lot of good Puel has done/is doing. If he does go, im also not convinced we'll get the right replacement. Rodgers would be fine but i dont want to see us end up like Southampton and making 2 horrible appointments and flirting with relegation before finally making a decent appointment. Sacking him now would be pointless in my opinion as we would have more options to get a better replacement in the summer than now. I doubt Rodgers would leave celtic now but i could see him being persuaded in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were playing decent but losing football people would want him out, I don't care what people say. If he was in the middle of an Eddie Howe run of results, there would be blue bloody murder on here. Puel never said we needed a reality check.

RowlattsFox Posted 16 January 2019 Share Posted 16 January 2019 Its a fine balance between accepting it has been a tough time but then using it as an excuse. Not sure our lack of creativity has anything to do with what has happened. However I'm sure mental and emotional fatigue will have an effect on players, especially towards the end of the season. Couple of players have already shown drops in their level recently. One thing is for sure, Top could do without a manager pursuit at the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted 16 January 2019 Share Posted 16 January 2019 I think he’s bang on to say these things. Fans have forgotten so quickly what the club and players are still going through. It’s not something they can move on from overnight. That said, it’s questionable how much that has impacted our performances. I guess we will never know. Theres loads of other things we dont know too, in particular what happens to Vichais estate, how that affects the clubs finances, tops finances and the long term outlook. For that reason I don’t see us spending in jan, I don’t see us sacking Puel, i don’t really even see us spending much over this coming summer. This may take well over a year to work itself through and the outcomes may not be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lcfc278 Posted 16 January 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 16 January 2019 I'm not the biggest fan of Puel at all however I think the Mercury have completely thrown Puel under the bus with this article. He's been completely taken out of context and they've made it sound like he's complaining about the fans giving him flack when we should instead be mourning Vichai, absolute crap and lazy journalism done purely to get clicks on the website etc. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheLittleBigMan Posted 16 January 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 16 January 2019 I can remember fans singing 'There's only one Nigel Pearson' when we were in a relegation battle. Never seen so much disdain for a manager as this. We have to find different ways of playing. Ranieri couldn't do, shakey barely even tried and this guy's done it, got us top half with academy players and young signings while he's at it. We have to go through this change at some point whether you like it or not. Our late owner and top know/knew this and building for the future has always been their only remit. Yes it's been difficult to watch in terms exciting football but if anyone thinks getting rid of him is going to change the clubs philosophy and revert us back to counter attacking football and sod all else they need forget about it - it aint happening, change is and we either get behind it or we subject the club to negativity every week and make the match day experience even worse for ourselves. I'm fed up of it Up the city 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXYTALK Posted 16 January 2019 Share Posted 16 January 2019 Some people don't understand emotion affects different people in different ways, they are people not robots. Everyone considered Vichai as family in some form or another. Would you go back to work the next day if a member of your family died? Whilst having the media follow your every move? I think with all things considered he's done a remarkable job as easily we could have gone into freefall. He has steadied the club through turmoil over the past few months, yes we are inconsistent isn't that to be expected, considering the players may still be grieving or struggling to adapt to what has happened. This is something you cannot put a time period on. Yet after a couple of bad results your already sharpening the knives. Unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
