Saint_clark Posted 13 December, 2017 Share Posted 13 December, 2017 We need to do something we haven't done since Cortese was here - get a manager who is currently with a club rather than picking the mediocre of a bad bunch.

shurlock Posted 13 December, 2017 Share Posted 13 December, 2017 Make no mistake, we will be relegated if he stays much longer. Then we'll have to watch most our squad leave and actually perform well elsewhere. They need to act now. Weeks ago in fact. And they need to get this decision right. Not another negative clown who can't decide on his best team or style. Someone, anyone FFS just energise this squad. Sell VVD, give them a big transfer fund, shoot Tadic, and let's play some football again. Stop wetting your knickers - there are three sides worse than us.

CB Fry Posted 13 December, 2017 Share Posted 13 December, 2017 I don't think we will sack him yet. It will drag on and on. He'll have to lose four or five in a row, ie get to the point where he is crying out to be sacked, before they'll even think about it. The club will not admit it has made a mistake, plus they will clearly will have no idea who to replace him with. In a way there is logic there - appointing someone now is going to be fraught with compromise so they will do anything they can to avoid it.

Saint_Tony Posted 13 December, 2017 Share Posted 13 December, 2017 The problem is Reed took too long to get rid of Puel, and as a result was left witn MP who quite clearly was never first choice. We have some tough games now, so lets get someone else in who can take a look at the squad and get some plans in action before the Palace game.

On the other hand, what he achieved at Ajax with a young squad is the model we supposedly want to follow. Ah right that's interesting. I was wondering how a team can get 19 points from their first 7 games and then take 3 from their next 8... The first half would point to a manager who at least has an idea what he's doing, but if his downfall was tactical predictability that is a concern. But at least it is a decent option if we were to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 13 December, 2017 Share Posted 13 December, 2017 I don’t expect that he will go anytime soon. What I hope is that Les and co. are doing their due diligence on managerial alternatives and are ready to pull the trigger and install a replacement promptly if things go even more pear-shaped than they already are. Huddersfield could be an important game in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 December, 2017 Share Posted 14 December, 2017 Too easy to blame the manager. These players are on easy street, ****ing bigger egos than talent.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I tend to agree with this argument. The Leicester players are making Puel look awfully good right now. There’s no excuse for their performances at Liverpool away and Leicester home. The only thing is, I still don’t agree with some of Pellegrino’s player selections.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There's no doubt we have some severe weaknesses in our squad, it's glaringly obvious to most, so yes the players are primarily the issue. But it is a manager's job to get the best out of the players he has available to him. Puel got way more out of a more limited squad with long injuries to key players and way more games, hence why I was completely against his sacking. The squad absolutely is a huge problem, but Pellegrino isn't getting anywhere near as much out of it as he should be able to, he has to go.
