casablancas Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 Peps behaviour in front of the fourth official was absolutely pathetic. I literally thought no man ... that’s it. What a dick though, it was embarrassing to watch and I can’t believe he didn’t get carded for it. God I think he’s a dick and a fraud. Would love to see him keep Shef Utd up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 I know this shit gets repeated every time a club sack a manager at the bottom end, we've had it ourselves and the outside world was absolutely nuts expecting us to keep Ranieri. But in WBA case, I don't know what more they were expecting. He got them promoted but the squad is shit. They've barely bothered. All they'll do now is hire someone who'll take them down anyway, probably back him to get them promoted and sack him if he does and doesn't work miracles. Vicious cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a short term business and you need short term results, but continuity is the key to success and patience." OGS on Bilic Is that a message aimed at his own board?

Lambert09 Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 I guess they wanted big Sam to have a few games to assess the squad before the transfer window opens up. It’s completely unjustified though, especially given the covid window. I do genuinely rate Billic and despite being in the relegation zone they were probably over performing.

The Ranieri sacking made me realise that things can always be different to how they seem if you don’t follow the club and what’s actually going on. From the outside i think they’re bonkers to sack Bilic, probably the best they can do with the squad he had available. Big Sam is the most lazy unimaginable appointment available and I hope they sink to the foot of the table now. He might get a tune out of them though, he is a decent man manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleased he got the boot - I thought he would be quite good but then he said what he said about not telling Rooney where to play and I realised he was so far out of his depth he would sink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fktf Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 2 hours ago, Facecloth said: Is it not working though? They've hardly backed him in the transfer market and I'd say they are where you'd expect a team coming up from the championship with little investment to be. They've not been embarrassed too much this season and are only a few weeks away from being able to address any short comings in the squad whilst still being in striking distance of safety. Take your point - but it is very rationale, and requires a board with long term vision/commitment to the manager. I suspect they don't want to/can't spend the sort of money transfer fees will add up to, and are throwing the dice with only the short term goal of staying up this year in mind.

David Hankey Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 We see this most seasons. A manager gets a team promoted and then struggles in the top flight. It just illustrates the gulf between the two divisions. In fact there has only been two seasons since the formation of the EPL where all three teams promoted have stayed up and this season looks as though that figure will not increase.

I think looking at their forum that the general concensus is that it seems unfair and they're taking a backwards step as a club going for Allardyce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnkstern Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 Sky Sports just showed the top half EPL table... First to tenth separated by five points. I love it! This looks like the most competitive Premier League in years. Three wins on the trot for any of those ten teams and they are likely top of the league!

Funny really I picked a cadbury's chocolate the other day, with the premier league competitions down the side. As usual the same suspects are on the front Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal. Be interesting to know if they'd still keep promoting Arsenal as a top six club even if they finish 15th! and us and Southampton finish within the top four.
