This is exactly the issue with the ‘experience’ arguement. People make it subjective and start randomly picking the bits they trust and feel good about. Hindsight can also be a wonderful subjective thing too.

Contrary to popular belief we’ve had quite a lot of experienced players and managers under SR. Only Selles and Rusk actually are similar manager wise. Jones, Martin and Still all had ample managerial experience but were just younger so people didn’t trust it and Juric also had plenty of experience. Player wise also we’ve got plenty of experienced crap but again, because it’s crap it hasn’t worked out and again people much prefer to focus on the young/inexperienced signings instead.

I think I said recently I wouldn’t be choosing to keep him on necessarily. I’m not leaning that way. I’m just pointing out that’s it’s nice to have won a couple of games, the idea we’ve played two crap teams so it doesn’t count doesn’t really stack up either and maybe let the bed wetting wait until there’s something worth wetting the bed over. Not many inspiring names about though IMO and I’m always in favour of appointing someone promising and someone the players like over someone ‘experienced/proven themselves incapable of managing a club to any decent degree elsewhere’

If we had appointed an actual real life manager and failed the acid test would we have to sack them?

Yeah don’t really understand the fascination with beefing up the midfield when we have plenty of options in there. Fitness issues in there are an issue though. Plus it’s lovely PR play from the club with him and OR signing, so I suspect that’s behind any motivation to do it. Think it smacks of playing to the crowd which Solak especially is keen to do.

Rather than big long winded conspiracies analysing every action and non action of one man have we considered that our strikers weren’t very good for quite large chunks of the season, neither was our keeper or goalkeeper and suddenly against QPR and Sheff Wednesday we were a bit more efficient at both ends of the pitch and absolutely none of it is some finite confirmation that either Will Still or TE are brilliant or terrible?

How long does instant respect last? Can you lose it? Can it be earned?

We played terrible opposition before TE took over and didn’t win so maybe he’s the messiah.

I can’t honestly believe anyone over the age of 14 thinks we should appoint somebody because they are a recognised name.

It’s hard to argue with someone who is so clear about what is going to happen. Obviously this is all possible but you’re just getting worked up at a situation that is still only in your head right now 🤣 You definitely can’t go around giving predictions based on your last efforts in this league fella. Humble yourself and pipe down.

Maybe it’s the wait until it actually goes tits up before wetting the bed cohort. Maybe it’ll all be terrible. Maybe it’ll be the easy league to get promoted in for any half decent manager that everyone insisted it will be. Maybe it’s just a mindset choice be hopeful? Let’s find out first shall we?

Reminder that declaring suicide football about the only managers who seem to be delivering regular wins for us in this league does make you look pretty silly.

Danny Ings currently 0 goals in 9 games I believe too.

Most interesting thing about this and Sheffield United in general is they seem to be going all in on the experienced manager they've appointed and buying "proven" players. Everything a lot of people on here want for us. Fully expect them to be tearing up the league any day now.

Literally had a job at another EFL club a few years back. Laugh emoji.
