Paul Cheesey Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can those people now calling for SOD's head please explain to me their alternative plan? Who are you going to bring in that will do a better job? How you will build the foundations of the club for the future? How you are going to bring in better players under the constraints of FFP? Just curious!! In the mean time I will continue to be patient and put my full support behind the current manager and team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon8er Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 To be fair I could field a lot of mates who play five a side and they'd give a better effort than last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is you'd probably only give them one game and wanna sack them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an answer to any other questions as I don't know what foundations and players they would bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be a thread about DFS or Next homewear. Turns out to be another SOD in/out thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pick up the "how to deal with FFP" point.... go and ask Colchester or Wycombe how they do it (or any of the many clubs above us in the table who have far smaller incomes than us).

Yep And Steve has experience of working with no money with Pompey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's not our job to pick a new manager, but that doesn't mean we can't identify that the current one's lost the plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I am struggling to manage my armchairs,they are young ,inexperienced and need time to adjust to the pressures of my arse cheeks. It can't be easy for them being sat on more than two times a week. They have largely struggled since their arrival from Ikeal but i'm sure in time they will come good .

Just curious!! In the mean time I will continue to be patient and put my full support behind the current manager and team. The biggest problem with your posting is when the transition argument, the patience argument, excuses argument and other red herrings have been done to death, you are left ultimately with stats, win, lose or draw and SOD's record is abysmal and now another worrying element has raised it's ugly head listening and reading the comments of fans who went Wycombe last night almost to a man they are questioning the teams desire and commitment, these are the elements that will eventually dictate SOD's future and not the unquantifiable stuff that may or may not come to fruition. As I have said previous in threads in his last 2 post match interviews, he sounds like a man who is losing patience with his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what you're doing is decontextualising the situation so you can bash SOD with it, rather than showing it for what it is. City's first performance without commitment this season, against a poor team and a tiny crowd in a tinpot cup. For all City's faults this season, and there are many, playing without commitment has not been one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading what I said, I will make it easier for you, I only mentioned the Wycombe game in that context, no others. Bashing SOD where?, SOD was obviously exasperated on saturday with the players and offered no sympathy for Flint or the team itself and last night he was pretty much disgusted by what he saw and again said as much. What I am saying is sooner or later if the 'stats' don't improve that will be the deciding factor as to his fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
