What I REALLY don't like though is when supporters start jeering Iheanacho or booing decisions in game, never understood it and never will and I believe that contributes to the flat atmosphere we are experiencing at the minute... It's certainly not helping. Fans of other clubs up and down the country would probably be doing the same though, so I should probably just deal with it I agree some people are reading his comments to the worst possible degree and words can get twisted but this is poor form from Puel I think, I'm not entirely happy with his comments. Just can't help but feel it's broken beyond repair now. 5 minutes ago, BKLFox said: TBF he said 'people' not 'our fans' so all you have to do is ask yourself, do you fall into the 'people' bracket, if the answers no then he's not talking about you. Actually yeah, reading it again it does look like he'a talking about journos and media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 Just now, MC Prussian said: The article states that „Puel is hitting back at his critics“, including a portion of us fans as well as the media. So, yes - it is in parts „us fans“. But that’s not what Puel has said is it. It’s what the newspaper reporter says. It says “hitting back at his critics” - at no point does Puel have a pop at the fans as you and many others are insinuating. And you know what? Even if he was, he’d be right. This place was full of people after the accident saying “no matter what happens Puel needs our full backing for the rest of the season” after everything that happened. Absolutely chokka-block. People seemed to get that we were in a bad place and stability was what was required. Lo and behold a couple of bad results and many of the same people are calling for him to go. People HAVE forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh God, not the 'transistion' word again. To be clear I wanted him sacked from Palace last season onwards however after the tragedy I said we needed no more upheaval this season and the fact he then got us to 31 points (somehow) buys him time ,but my goodness he makes it bloody hard to support him as firstly for my season ticket money I want us to win and secondly I want to see entertainment and he has delivered neither in well over 12 months. I would add I find his comments really insulting and if he is trying to drive a bigger wedge between him and a majority of the fans then he has at least succeeded in something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terrible event that took place earlier in the season is not a reason for that? The Puel in/out threads are starting to make the old politics thread look harmonious.

mucfox Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 After the helicopter crash I had made my peace with CP, because seeing the aftermatch pictures in Cardiff I thought he had moved closer together with his lads. That was a fallacy. After the last games and especially after this new interview, I'm just angry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season we could've got 7th and made an effort for Europe but just because we didn't have anything to play for, the players gave up and that string of 1-1 performances ruined a decent season.

People HAVE forgotten. I agree with the general notion of „unconditional support“, still it can‘t act as an excuse to hide behind the owner‘s death to justify our poor home form and the type of bland football on display, a type of football that hasn‘t changed in more than a year. Criticism where criticism is due. Personally, he‘d have been better off by saying nothing at all, focussing on football rather than the media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 I've been so on the fence about him but he has done it now. That's just crazy to blame this form on the tragedy when it was happening before it. Why didn't he come out and say this after the Chelsea and man city wins? Was that down to players grieving too? To use this as an excuse just makes him look an absolute cvnt. And to say people are crazy to think we should finish seventh or eighth when that's exactly where we are sitting is a massive sign of how un-ambitious this man is, especially when all he is spouting about is ambition.

DerbyshireFox Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 I don’t know what’s going to happen, and at this point I’m past caring because this is just going round in circles. One thing is certain, he will leave at some point, be it weeks, the end of the season, or longer than that. The tragedy in October has certainly had an impact, but clearly isn’t solely responsible for some of the issues we have. I favour stability but if he goes, he goes. If that decision is to be made I feel it should be in the summer to allow time for them to use the coming months to find a suitable replacement that fits their blueprint. A caretaker would be pointless in my view. I admire a lot of the work he’s done, but this article is just another stick to beat him with when results go against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
