lcfc sheff Posted 7 December 2025 Posted 7 December 2025 I’m so in the middle with him, I can understand why fans want him gone but I also can’t help but think he’s got a hard job with some of the players who’s hearts are clearly not in it. oh and also the striker options are atrocious 2
Chrysalis Posted 7 December 2025 Posted 7 December 2025 I am still neutral, but I think there is an entitlement right now, we dont want to become watford changing managers twice a year, because we think we should be at a certain level. I think some are struggling to accept we have messed up, and our budget, scouting, football operations are just not at the level they think they are. I know it might be hard to take in, but we have issues above the manager that are higher priority. 2
beepee1984 Posted 7 December 2025 Posted 7 December 2025 I honestly don't think it matters It is the players attitude that depends how we play and the last three managers don't appear to be able to influence that. I don't think he has done enough for me to say yes I want to keep him, but I am far from the Marti out group too We appear to go defensive in the second half too much when winning, and drop far too deep, but is that His tactics or the players just expecting the worse and getting nervous after such a poor season

Not sure why so many are unable to comprehend this. The very fact that he was appointed owes in part to this. However, his problems are below him as well in the sense that a proportion of the team that he presides over don't give the remotest **** about the club they are supposed to be playing for. May his purges continue. 1

True. He has shown too much faith in players that should be delivering and he regards as adding technical merit/value. Why? I'm recalling when Winks for example was introduced away at Oxford and the immediate impact he made or came back into the side after an insipid mf of Soumaré and Skipp. As others have pointed out, now that his head is on the block, he isn't about to rest his future prospects at the club upon disruptive, uncommitted individuals irrespective of their ability. 1
ealingfox Posted 7 December 2025 Posted 7 December 2025 As said before I can't advocate for getting rid whilst Russell Martin is unemployed. 1 2

jayfox26 Posted 10 December 2025 Posted 10 December 2025 (edited) I bet he's raging that he didn't bin Winks and Faes earlier. The championship is a dog fight and you need all your players giving 100% if you want to win games and that's what we are now starting to see. Regardless of this season, so long as we don't get relegated (which is highly unlikely even with a points deduction) we'll be in a better position next summer with no Winks, Faes, Soumare and Daka. A good chunk of wages and poor performance/attitude being moved out of the club! Edited 10 December 2025 by jayfox26

Bryn Posted 10 December 2025 Posted 10 December 2025 I maintain mid table and sorting our dismal financial situation is an adequate outcome, we’ve not got a pot to piss in and a load of overpaid shite, I never ever thought we’d compete for automatic promotion this season. I’m indifferent about Cifuentes but the idea that sacking him will radically change things without a clear forward plan is braindead. 2
seenitall Posted 10 December 2025 Posted 10 December 2025 He’s terrible - seems like a nice fella but is more suited to managing PC world than a football club
Wink84 Posted 10 December 2025 Author Posted 10 December 2025 Mods please delete this thread. I was obviously drunk when I started this post.
Oldblueyes Posted 10 December 2025 Posted 10 December 2025 Our manager is weak as a tactician. His observation of the game is limited. We select a QPR manager to guide our team and surprise, surprise, we play like QPR.

Been trying to be as patient has possible but that was embarrassing.
