I love Saturdays without football. Well my take away is that the OP asked a question, is he stupid. Other poster called him a Whopper...I wish I had one of those...And then the thread descended into a chaos of puns, point-scoring and really bad spelling.

southvillekiddy Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Okay I'll start again. Answer me this all you clever clogs. Have we or have we not got a **it home record this season? (We have). Does that qualify our manager for status as inept, ill-informed, insufficiently trained and skilled, inflexible if not stupid in failing to use the not insignificant home advantage and find winning formulae here especially in games that are obviously winnable (I give you the Shrewsbury Town game where a win gives us a match against Liverpool in the Cup)?

You don’t rate the manager who has improved City's league position season on season and taken us into the top six this campaign? Add to that him losing several top players and making a profit of almost £30m........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t rate a manager who got us within a kick of the Premier League ... with a fraction of current resources... Shame you didn’t have the gonads to admit so when face to face I year they had to get industrial cleaners to sort out the office carpet after you slithered out ....

You would think, even if it were only for self-preservation, that he would find a way to regularly win a winnable game at home, especially in a crucial game, with 20,000 odd thousand City fans watching every time. And not forgetting the TV audience. It's all a cunning ruse to avoid the Manager of the Month hoodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I don’t think you could call him stupid. You wouldn’t like to be called stupid in whatever profession you earn a crust and yet LJ - love him or hate him, probably earns more in one year than you will in ten. We all want him and the entire club to be be successful and calling a person with his integrity stupid is just disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Is he stupid? problem is, the only ones that 100% know the answer to that are the players and most of the experienced ones do! They know who is out of form or needs a rest, they know when they are told to play in a way that stifles their potential or when played totally out of position, more importantly they know which players will let them down or make them look bad. We see it every home game buts that’s Lee for you - Hunt and Weimann have played most every game this season but achieved not a lot - even Korey looked lost last night, where was the player to receive the killer pass? Korey tried and tried but no luck, judging by his obvious searching he had trouble finding someone who actually wanted the ball! We have recruited a proven goal scorer, did he start? Nah, don’t be daft! Where is the logic in that? He came on and became a midfielder??? Elliason and Weimann both switched away from the attack - football ain’t rocket science! Selection has to be earned and tactics decided with playing to the squads strengths - not effing formulae! Seeing this home form for repeated seasons is Stupid, if He wasn’t Stupid things would have changed - ask Cotts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not annual accounting in other words. Yes, probably right on “net spend”. Part of our problem is that our wage bill, amortised costs, operational costs leads us to a £25m loss before we start player trading. In fairness we aren’t in a bad position against the £39m / 3 year ffp constraints, but I think it’s more likely to be “spend what you raise” this summer rather than “here’s a £x million war chest” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunnie12345 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm sure many would say its not comparable but the premise is still there... Let's Imagine the club was a resteraunt people rated say 7/10. The owner then wants a refurb and spends a fair chunck of cash improving the building the design and a new menu with better quality ingredients etc. This resteraunt now looks the proper business and ready to compete with the other big resteraunts in town. After the resteraunt re opens the owners asks customers to rate again. They still say 7/10 and claim that even with the better ingredients the food tastes the same and if he is going to spend so much money on the resteraunt he at least needs to make sure the head chef knows how to take the resteraunt to the next level and if not get one in who has done it before... I get that there was a much easier way to describe this but my wife didn't get why I am Johnson out so used this analogy and she seemed to understand haga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t made a profit of £30m, he has sold the players he inherited, and has been allowed to Re-invest that and more on his own players. Given the resources at the disposal of the manager it could be argued that where we are is the minimum that could be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
