No I agree. I did, up until recently, think Ralph was the right man at the wrong time. I thought with a better, bigger squad (I.e a tottenham or Chelsea) he’d do a great job. However, these past 2 months or so have really worried me. A good ‘coach’ not a good ‘manager’ is how I’d say it. If he’s willing to shuffle the back room staff to give us something fresh and some new ideas (and some help for Ralph), then I wouldn’t be against him staying past the summer. That being said, I don’t see that happening either. Worse case for us is building a squad that Ralph wants and then pulling the trigger 10 games in and being over stocked in certain areas, under in others (thinking CM if new man wants to try 433, say)

But we’ve never consistently done it across a 38 game season. We’re a very streaky team. There are some significant under lying issues with the manager. I don’t see the potential.

Wasn’t aimed at you per say, just seen it a few times people acting like we couldn’t do better so let’s keep him.

What potential is this please? 3 years and we’ve not really seen it Consistently over a season. With respect; I’d trust someone who watches games week in week out, knows the club and it’s players (I.e fans on here) rather than making a judgement because he reads the Athletic and Ralph is a trendy name (I.e your Arsenal friend).

Why is there this theory on here that absolutely no one out there would be interested in us and be able to do a better job than Ralph. Why is it seemingly impossible to some on here that we’d find a new Ralph, Poch koeman etc. 1 person who would 100% do a better job than Ralph, but they won’t be liked Because they’re not be a hispster trendy choice, is Big Sam. Not my choice, I think there are probably long term better choices on the continent, but short term if PL survival is the goal, he’d almost guarantee that.

Nope. He wanted a smaller squad with youngsters making up the rest. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17383445.amp/

It could have easily been 6/7/8/9-2 had City wanted it to be. Had their not been the 9-0 A week or so before, people would have been going wild about the performance. Shocking that it’s even justified because it wasn’t as bad as others, which in itself is a big concern

This isn’t true, though. It’s an excuse. we’re lacking some very important skills (I.e a leader at the back and a bit of creativity in the middle), but I don’t think we have one of the worst squads in the league. Depth isn’t great, but Ralph himself wanted a smaller squad. I’d say as things stand we should mid table - top 10. Add in a leader and a bit of quality in the ‘10’ and CB and we’ll have a squad that on paper should be capable of challenging for Europe. We’ve got a striker (and arguably a CB) who outside the big 6 (Vardy and DCL aside) is the best in the league. The trouble is, what we need to push us on, they cost £ and would be more than were willing to spend. Take ings out and yes, we will have a very poor team as there just aren’t the goals to keep us up.

Exactly. He supported the club because he had a vested interest in it. We done well, so did he. I think Marcus was one of the good guys, but ultimately he still was a business man.

They stuck 5 past us, had a stone wall penalty not given and didn’t get out of second gear. We didnt play well at all.

Because teams know our strengths, know our weaknesses and know how to play against us. Were 1 dimensional, nothing changes, we go into every game with roughly the same 15 players playing the same way every time.

But again, why do they need to spend 200m on a football club (plus investment to just stand still) for them to do this? It doesn’t make sense.

About as likely as Ralph playing 433

To be fair, I think it’s just Sky making a story out of a tweet.

You should Judge him at the end of the season. Not one game 😡

So would the club, they’ve been trying for 3 seasons. We can’t shift him.

Or someone who has a network of clubs and wants a PL club as his crown Jewell. RB or that bloke from Nice. We’ll end up with some noddy, with no money though, as per usual.

And this is the issue. I think everyone likes Ralph, but he’s trying to play a style and system that doesn’t suit our players and isn’t willing to change.

Absolutely nothing to suggest that we’ll Have a couple of good results

I don’t know much about how it works, but I wonder if the talk of 50 + 1 fan ownership? Would play a factor in any new investment.

Yep. Hardly any value in a club like us. What realistically could we achieve without stupid money being spent? Europa league?

Spot on mate 👍🏻

Let me have my moment, pal.

When we score more than the other team we win.

There’s some pretty solid evidence in your case always.
