Olé Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sky interview was abysmal. The lack of responsibility should be a red flag to the people who employ him. It's basic leadership. Accountability and control. He was talking about STILL believing amazing work was done during COVID and in the recent pre-season (i.e. him - very conceited) and not knowing why it's gone the way it has since. He also talked about player turnover, which he now describes as "for whatever reason" (he knows the reason and he's been well funded in lieu of it). The message in all of it is not my fault. I understand he's at the end of the line but some humility and personal responsibility would have gone a long way before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refused to slate the Lansdowns for selling ‘best’ players. Talked about playing young players??!!??!! “For whatever reason” is an unacceptable answer. It’s literally his job to understand the reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time this season I didn’t buy a season ticket and I’ve only been twice this season as the dross served up is not worth paying to watch. (2 games were 1 free and the other £10).

So they’ll know we haven’t been winning, but they won’t appreciate the deficiencies in our manager the way we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never takes accountability for anything - it’s one of his biggest failings. Consistently said that I would have so much more respect for him if he held his hands up every now and again especially as he is so quick to lap up the praise when it comes. Taking responsibility is a trait of a good manager in any walk of life and it’s another major facet that he just does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 His radio interview didnt sound like a man under pressure. I'm not paying to watch any more of his shite. Bye bye 20K crowds if he stays. He has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Got to be honest, after the latest run of results, and that shitshow today, if I was a manager/coach who was out of work, and/or at a lower level and had decent prospects, I would be contacting our board to put my name forward. Contact of some type, letter/email/phone call, outlining what I would do with the current squad, who I would move out and bring in, and just say that should anything come up in the near future, then I'd love a chance to have a more formal chat. He's walking a tightrope, and even though he is well supported here, he surely is running out of time and chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I won’t listen anymore to him selling our best players. They weren’t unexpected sales, most clubs sell players. You were given plenty to spend to add quality to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
