If i was a billionaire in the public eye, I wouldn’t put up with it either,,, its clear to me that pearson wasnt well liked, and that played a significant role in him getting sacked, and being sat in midtable was a good enough excuse to do it.

I think some of our first team squad are actually conference south level.

How many games did holden get?

Theres no way tinnion and lansdown would want king around, with his background he wouldnt want to hear their idiocy, or deal with it in anyway

Whoever is in charge will still need a striker and attacking midfielder, we completely ballsed up the january window again and that hasnt helped. Im not fussed about manning particularly but the cup games were superb, some of the league games have been superb, and we have been getting turned over by more abrasive teams for years now.

Dont know if this is shocking luck, or anything could have been foreseen or managed better, but clearly this signing hasnt exactly gone to plan, so far

Theres no way they want king around, his name, experience, and regard in football ####s all over theirs, hes a threat to their positions.

Its not hard to predict we would get turned over by qpr and sheff weds, cardiff will beat us as well, and we will look decent again against swansea. Chapter 2 of the coaching manual explains how to play against physical battling teams, but liam hasnt got that far yet

Have to agree with daves article, it wasnt hard to predict the qpr result, we just cant deal with those teams, and sheffield weds and cardiff wont be much different, then we will look better against swansea. Combine that with sone questionable subs, we will be lucky to get 2 points from the next 2 games.

Not sure, it had been fine with some serious work load for 20 odd minutes before it happened…. I always think the outright quick players are more susceptible to hamstring injuries, michael owen used to get them a lot, their movements are more explosive, and the wear on their bodies is high.

The transfer window was pretty awful for manning, money spent but only one incoming who is likely to have much game time,, and hes injured. Not signing a number 9 is a killer though. There have been some tremendous performances, and yet we could easily see what would happen against qpr, and it did, we were pathetic… I haven’t seen anything at this point to really say getting rid of pearson was worth it.

Great news, congratulations to him, I really think he can make an impact in the first team!

Sad news, he was a really accomplished player, and there arent many who have scored the winner in a world cup final either!

Haha, that free kick was hilarious, he should stick to trying to be a “bagsman” in the 18 yard box cause that was pathetic

Perhaps we should have gone with ray harford then. Benny had been managing for years in scandinavia, there was no background as a director of football, or any other involvement in english football as far as i know. He had a decent career but matt hill was young and small and like a rabbit in the headlights in those first few games, aaron brown never progressed in the game and that season was a disaster that benny could do nothing to stop. The only fight we showed under him was against a bloke dressed as a wolf! as for mabude, the first thing tinnion said when the window ended was that we absolutely definitely are going to be looking for a striker in the summer, what we didnt need was a very young wide player who has barely played a first team game… what they were thinking ive no idea… they are supposed to be working constantly on their targets, so we are told on north korea tv.

We spent all the money on forwards then bought carl hutchings to run the midfield as far as i remember! im not sure benny really had any success anywhere after us, certainly not in a mainstream european league, funny how we all remember things?!

He was terrible! Weve been pretty crap ever since as well.

dear lord, that was a fun game!

Was it city 0 wolves 6 in bennys first game, the wolfie game? Or had we just got smashed away at bradford, can’t remember which one was his first!

I guess we are waiting for the outcome of this, but we all know what we saw in saturday, hope hes got lucky and it isnt too bad, good luck to the lad!

Have to agree, defensively we are pretty well set up, but we could easily predict what would happen against qpr, those 2 in midfield lack the forward pass, dickie gave that more than those 2 yesterday, and to come out on the last day of the transfer window and say now we know we need a number 9 in the summer is ridiculous.

Agreed, plus they didnt sell their decent player. Im not really sure what putting cornick on alongside wells and mehmeti was really likely to achieve

Nice way of making a living!

Ive no idea what the thinking is, but he still has a contract, probably on a good salary too, and so does hwr and bajic, why not move all 3 if them on if they are never likely to play and get someone in to properly challenge max?

Agreed, im pleased hes back and has had a few good games, but im not particularly impressed with that attitude, or they way he speaks. hes had 2 championship games in his career as far as i know, he seems to be of the opinion hes the next roberto carlos. Pring paid his dues for years, vyner has too, they have had loans all over the country and had to wait to get a place in the first team. Some humility might be nice.
