Mr Popodopolous Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Surprised? Playoffs last year, lost Stewart, Diallo and there was someone else Simms for half a season. They're not that far away from 5th or 6th and surely not playing that badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GrahamC Posted December 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Same age as Nige so presumably too old… Got a lot of time for him, football is good, he’s as honest as they come. Thought he did a good job there after Neil walked out. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we can add the other BCFC to that too, sacked Eustace when 6th and quite decent at home especially. In came Rooney. They wanted no fear football and chasing the revenue. Could work in the long run ie the 2nd bit ie more revenue can mean more on wages etc but they've mostly gone to shit since on the pitch.

But he isn’t young and up and coming and easy to manipulate so doesn’t fit the (latest) mould.

Markthehorn Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) There were question marks about his future before the season starting so maybe been under pressure for a bit .

Lrrr Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Funnily if we were looking for a new manager right now Mowbray would be top of my list. Be funny if he just goes down to Swansea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Another delusional club owner/owners messing up a decent position. Probably.

I don’t think he comes here, wanted to stay up in the north east to stay with family so was going to only be Sunderland/Middlesborough tbh. 15 minutes ago, Ronnie Sinclair said: Looks like idiocy extends to other clubs as well - handily placed in the table and playing youth what more are they expecting?

One occasion was when a midfielder gave the ball away. I made the point that he had zero options. Bloke sort of grunted at me Let's be honest, he's hardly a small percentage is he? 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgrsimon Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Insane. Is every club who aren't getting to the top 6 going to sack the manager? Alex Neill must be a dead man walking at Stoke. Warner would most likely have gone if we'd beaten Norwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also sacked the Director of football The expectation isn't for promotion particularly this season although things can change quickly of course and naturally he still needs to get results. There were certainly fans calling for a change a few weeks ago (well actually some when were 2-0 down to Norwich a week ago..) but then those types would probably have a new one every time their team didn't win and play well.
