Rubbersoul Posted 25 January Posted 25 January they’ll give him Charlton and we won’t win that then they’ll sack him. Wasting an opportunity at 3 points 2

Number 6 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January 1 hour ago, Rubbersoul said: People always point to how the squad is rubbish but whatever happened to managers maximising what they’ve got? Work with what you’ve got and find solutions! He doesn’t ever try anything different. QPR fans used to say if his plan A fails you’re ****ed. I honestly don't know what his plan A is. 2

Any owner of a club doesn't need to check in with the 'football department' to see how bad it is. What the fvck have they been telling him up to now, if he is even bothered?! We're the laughing stock of the football world right now. Absolutely horrendous in all aspects, on and off the field, top to bottom. 5

cat lady Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing, oh wait, he doesn't! 1
Rubbersoul Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Surely any competent owner sacks the manager and then gives an interview 1
sm1 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Just make the right decision and sack him 🤞. With Top and Rudkin in charge even that is in doubt.
Fox92 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January 1 hour ago, Mickyblueeyes said: The current teams under Ipswich are: Hull Millwall Preston Wrexham Bristol Watford They have one or two “star” players. But no one can tell me we don’t have the skills, talent or match winners to compete with those teams. And yes, we have a selection of lazy pricks. We had a selection of lazy pricks last time we came down. It’s hostile. It was hostile last time. Blah blah. We are not just mid table. We are being out played by every team we face for at least one half a game. Some half’s we can’t build an attack. That’s with match winners like James and Fatawu. He’s failed miserably. I’ve been saying it all season. A better manager would have us top 6 minimum.
moseeds Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Sounds like that was Top saying it's the end for Marti but he needs to check the current legal positions and finances. No backing, no words of solace, just process. Marti is finished here. Question is who will be daft enough to come in?
HP1 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January 1 hour ago, Finnegan said: If you put this squad in the hands of someone like Daniel Farke who would just get them to, as an absolute minimum, run for 90 minutes, work hard and put teams under pressure then we'd be in the top six easily. All it would have taken was wins over Oxford and Blackburn at home and we would be level with Wrexham in 6th. It didn't require very much this season to reach the play offs. 2

Chelmofox Posted 25 January Posted 25 January 29 minutes ago, splinterdream said: As annoying as Vestegaard is, he is currently one of our best players. He is one of the only players that can thread a pass, and some are exceptional, the reason they don't amount to anything is be caused our forward line is crap. He actually started to cause issues playing up front, and imo should have been done earlier. We should if behind look to swap abdul and stephy and just have them running the lines putting balls into the box. We do not have good enough, confident enough players to pass through midfield I think they call is Stockholm syndrome. Get yourself checked out for it. Noone symbolises doing the same failed thing over and over again more than Vestergaard. Where was he for the 2nd goal by the way? Seems to get a free pass from our fans because he did a good pass once. Our front line dont move because by the time any pass is likely to come their way (after countless sidewise, maybe a small pass forward do a defensive mid that comes back to him) the pitch is so congested because the opposition have had about 5 minutes to get into shape. Nelson at CB showed more pace and progressive nature (and defensive ability) than Vestergaard. But its Nelson that has to play left back, and the whole team has to revert back to verstyball.
Popular Post hejammy Posted 25 January Popular Post Posted 25 January Imagine the owner of a football club doing an interview and telling them that he may consider the managers position but has to speak to him first. Unbelievable. It's like he's a man child. Completely inept and no wonder King Power is going tits up. 7

HankMarvin Posted 25 January Posted 25 January If it was really the brink, you wouldn’t announce it you just do it. Probably means he gets another game to get a win
Simonb Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Sack Marti.. give it King Send Ramsey back bring in a LB on loan Carranza has gone, bring in a FW on loan No more Ayew Daka or Thomas Enough in the squad if they really want it.. including a deduction, to still challenge for sixth however unlikely Realistically we have another year in the EFL minimum.. I just want to see them fight and want to play

I want Cifuentes gone but the lack of respect in the telling the whole world ‘I might sack him if Jon gives me permission’ speaks volumes about what a cretin Aiyatwatt is.

Md9 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January He can’t be allowed the Charlton game if we are serious about getting 3 points just put him and us out of our misery now
