AshtonGreat Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I do believe we have improved but many a team has the weight realeased when they get that win,who is gonna come in with no money and make us this great side just like that then you tell me?as always the new manager syndrome would work ala SOD when he came then revert to norm.stick with him and his beliefs and things will turn around We need a motivator for a start. And we don't have less money than other teams in this division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanbcfc89 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I know its shite at the mo but whats the point in keep changing manager.Like it or not SOD knows what he is trying to do,ok he is lucky on our present run that he keeps his job but thankfully our board believe in him and what he is trying to achieve.All the get DEL out last year and we will be ok brigade got what they wanted and things havent exactly been a bed of roses since have they!!Give the guy time the lack of win is so obviously like a lead weight around the players neck when it comes(hopefully very soon!!) im sure things will get better so just get used to the fact our board wont sack him and keep backing like us "happy clappers"who understand what is going on and have patience and see who is right in the long run Del spent alot of money and released players replacing them with jody morris and stephen pearson we were rock bottom he had 1 and a half seasons never gunna work Odriscolls getting to the same time frame and is in a much worse position no faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 More money It wont happen as I cant see SL paying compo for a manager who is employed. This club does tend to have a habit of ruining players and managers, like a graveyard for football. If Robinson had any sense he wouldn't come here under this regime.

Which were not close to breaking , just saying we could offer a better financial package than MKdons for robinson if we wanted and a better playing squad in my opinion you asked for a reason why robinson would join dont want to argue about it as im not even sure he would be the right man not much pedigree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gater2 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 What we need is a good man manager, motivator who is a first class tactician & good with the media. Preferably with a proven track record in the Champions League or La Liga. I hear Alex Ferguson is out of a job at the moment.. Seriously, I think we need to get real here. Financial Fair Play means we just cant splash the cash offering compensation. In any case, who do you think we could realistically get? It's bot like good managers grow on trees. Let's be honest, Gary Johnson is the only manager who has had ANY success at all out of the past 6 or 7 managers. We're bottom of the league, in freefall with a poor squad with overpaid players and fans who have as much patience as a toddler, I can't imagine any decent managers wanting to touch us with a bargepole. We're clearly in a dreadful situation but 2 examples should prove It's right to give him more time: GJ's losing streak in L1 & Fergie's bad run before the FA cup win in 89. In both cases fans were baying for blood but what would have happened if the sack happened? SOD is a good manager who can build good teams if given time. Look where Donny & Bournemouth are now. Consistency has been proved time & again to be better than chopping & changing constantly. He hasnt even had a year yet. Give him more time. Does raise serious questions about the strategic competency of the board however. Bring on supporter ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcbs20 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Who would want to come here that was any good considering we seem to go through a manger every season. Not that I'm against SoD getting the boot if reaults dont start picking up then he will be collecting his p45 but I can't see who we will bring in that will be any good looking at the managers out of work. http://www.bestofthebets.com/managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes but we were in what is now the championship, not in this god forsaken league we entered with a whimper last april. And precisely what difference does that make? If a team is on the bottom it doesn't make the slightest difference what league they're in. The manager's neck is still on the block. Look at the number of managers who've got the boot the season after they've achieved promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Am I the only one who is confused as what to think about SOD? On one hand I can see what he is doing and I want him to succeed but on the other its becoming a joke how long it is taking to get a win, We seem to be blaming bad luck now, 20 games isn't bad luck, It is becoming painful to watch.... Feel exactly the same mate, really don't know what to think?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the number of managers who've got the boot the season after they've achieved promotion. Of course the managers neck would be on the block. If the team is bottom of the league. Especially if its with a team that has just been relegated to a "weaker" league, and has had quite a bit of time to create his own team. Its not liek we are somebody like Coventry is it.

Guest Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'D ACCEPT THAT IF IT MEANT BETTER THINGS IN THE FUTURE...... for Bcfc There is no guarantee of that but once we reach the bottom we can only go one way.

The point is that Dicks, Ferguson, etc. were in process of building new teams after a team had been allowed to get old and complacent. But for a fortunate cup victory, both would undoubtedly have been sacked. Would that have been an improvement? All very well to ask for SOD's head - but can you be sure that you wouldn't be tearing up the work that he's done. That's what would have happened to those managers without their cup victories. Some of the suggestions I've seen here are literally farcical - my favourite is Carey and Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Although more are taking their heads out of the sand as weeks go by, they do see the sun aint really shinning and put their heads back in the sand in hope next time it will be. The Boss says he aint for turning maybe he may reconsider that when he sees what league we are in next season and how many season tickets are sold. Kick them all out and start again at the bottom, cause that's where we are heading anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is ****** in so many ways because of mismanagement in years gone by not because of one sole individual in the last 9 months. You're talking BS.
