ENOUGH Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 just dropped off a LITTLE BIT yes BT just the 4 losses in a row and 2 wins this year, top 6 chasers to relegation prospects...............quite a BIG BIT imo. Swansea bring back any memories does it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Top 6 sides don't lose 4 in a row having played 2 of those games against teams in the bottom 3, that's not dropping off a bit - that's blowing the slim chance you had! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I swear we could get relegated and they’d still come out saying “yeah but what about that Southampton game eh?”. We were 4 points off the Play Offs, not 3. Not a huge mistake but does make it sound like we were within one win of the top six position we were told we were capable of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, he started to talk about the first team and it all quickly turned to bluster and drivel..

Then, he started to talk about the first team and it all quickly turned to bluster and drivel.. This is exactly how I see it. Credit where it’s due, in my experience Tinnion is excellent with the academy and his knowledge of the players is extraordinary. I’ve said on here before that if you asked him who the U12 centre back is he’d be able to tell you, and he’d be able to describe the type of player they are and their strengths and weaknesses. He’s very good at that stuff and he’s always very visible up there. There are 2 problems with him as technical director though. The first is that he just has far too much to do…. Overseeing the academy and everything else is way too much for one person. The second is that he just doesn’t have the contacts or knowledge in the game, at this level, to be as influential as he is at this club. He’s in the job because the Lansdowns like, know and trust him, not because he’s the right person for it, and many of his public utterances are just nonsense. As a result of his appointment and Pearson and co’s departure, there is absolutely nobody at the top end of the club with the slightest clue of how to run a successful Championship football club. Which is why I would really worry about our current situation getting worse and leading to relegation either this season or next. 25 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying nothing and the fans get pissed off because they're not communicating or coming out and essentially telling the fans they don't think there is a problem and we've just been unlucky? At this point I just see Tinnion as guy with a 3 inch paint brush trying to paint over the cracks only to realise the "cracks" are the grand canyon. The worst part is Tinnion will be here as long as the Lansdowns are meaning nothing will change. Too many high positions taken by guys with no clue how to run a club and egos too big to admit it and get the right men in. This is the biggest issue Spike. All these incompetent individuals taking the club in the wrong direction. We went from Gould and Alexander - proven execs to this over promoted lot. All a cozy club probably on big salaries doing jobs they have no experience or actual skills in. So annoying!! Probably only relegation would result in a clear out of these hapless execs and no one wants that so we’re stuck with them! 5 hours ago, Spike said: Edited March 9 by The chief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95red Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Lansdown wants out but no buyers on his terms ,Manning not happy with player recruitment, top wage won't bring in any decent top championship players, bargain basement options & hope academy produces. From inside the the club that's where we are.Mid table mediocrity if we are lucky until Lansdown goes that where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I can’t bring myself to watch BT or JL these days. They are both bumbling idiots. I can’t believe SL made his billions by employing idiots or making nepotistic appointments either, so how it thinks it’ll work in professional football I don’t know.

I actually think that the Yeboah move makes sense for everyone. He’s not playing here and he will benefit from playing a good standard in front of decent crowds where results really matter. I know a lad Ephraim’s age in another academy who has made a similar move and he benefitted from it hugely. There is a lot wrong at the club at the moment but I do feel like some people are falling into the trap of criticising absolutely everything they do. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have made a suggestion and could have had a discussion, and made a decision based on two points of view . This isn't a democracy , he is the Head and he doesn't employ the sort of people who will disagree with him or stand up to him. I would have thought that was an important part of a big company, various ideas and the ability to voice and stand by them , it's healthy . I have to say though, Tinnion is not a yes man, if Steve says no Tins says no ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benerous was not treated that way and had he not of got injured he'd have been an ever present in our first team. OK I'm being picky but still. Personally, I don't think Yeboah looked ready for the first team, and now we have had a few more options on the bench I think a loan and regular football makes sense. He could sit on the bench for weeks and not get on or get a couple of minutes in the scrappy end of a game. Regular mens football in a side that's doing ok makes sense to me. Benarous ? Who knows . Was only involved in 10/11 games in 32 from when he came in , not even in the squad for 5 of those. He benefited from injuries , I would have liked to have seen more , but I think how he was used and where he was player he showed up a lot more than Yeboah has in his cameos. While he was here ( Yeboah ) I think he could have been on the bench instead of empty seats . He does seem to pre plan some subs , which I don't like, and if they take up 3/4 of his options I guess he doesn't feel the need to fill the bench with players he has no intention of using. Personally I'd like the options for all eventualities . Edited March 9 by 1960maaan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role as TD in a structure of RG / PA (CEO) and NP (Football Manager) basically had two main facets: 1. Looking after the Recruitment Dept 2. Linking Academy to First Team And I think that was a good use of his skillset and complimented the other two. Almost as perfect a set-up as you could imagine. But lose the two either side of him, increase his R&R and you deeply expose the whole set-up. How much a part Tins has played in creating that I don’t know, but we are so much weaker for it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm being too simple and maybe he does excel in this kind of role, but it also seems a pretty easy role? How much of the U18 success is based on big investment in youth levels and just talented young players they have? I struggle to see how there would be any difference with a "technical director" overseeing that. Things like sending Yeboah out on loan is easy to talk about as a good thing. "We sent Semenyo there." OK but dozens of others have been sent there and never came back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSW8 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 What’s the complete and utter obsession with this Southampton game? We won and played well, that’s why the fans were happy that night. That’s what football is all about about, watching your team win and play well. But it was one win for gods sake. Need to get their heads out of their backsides and address the current position instead of all this ‘everyone was happy when we beat Southampton’ nonsense. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
