Edmonton Saint Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Gone backwards after the new manager bounce. We are a shambles, he has no plan B and he has cost us points with some of his decisions this season. I was fully aboard the Ralph train at the start, but it seems to have derailed and we are now shunting backwards. Question is who else would come in and put up with our shambolic board.

Saints foreva Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Maybe the finger should be pointed at the worst ownership in the League before we go after another manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Thing is, fair play to those who go. But the fans will boo a little, then go home fans at other clubs would be making it known to the power brokers at the club how unhappy they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmonton Saint Posted 25 October, 2019 Author Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Maybe the finger should be pointed at the worst ownership in the League before we go after another manager. Yeah agreed he has been extremely handicapped by the board, but it wasn't Gao who made him pick Vestergaard at Spurs when Cedric was injured, or drop Boufal when he has probably been more effective than Redmond this season. I'm just getting frustrated with this continual **** show which doesn't seem to be improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just getting frustrated with this continual **** show which doesn't seem to be improving. What exactly will a new man do? We have a squad full of absolute ****e and that falls purely on the ownership and recruitment side of things. Gao shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football club, in fact he would now fail a proper persons test now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hands have been tied with lack of investment. It’s a f@cking joke when a club like Bournemouth can out spend us. The club should never have been sold to Gao.

SKD Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 If we want to stay up under all costs, big Sam is the only man that could sort this shower of **** out. I like Ralph, I don’t want him to go, but he needs help. His back room staff are a shambles, cheap and not fit for purpose. How Gunn continues to get a game, I’ll never know. To be honest, I don’t actually give a **** anymore. I hate the owner, don’t really like any of the players, think our fan base is a joke and to be honest I’m looking forward to relegation (it’s gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets any better btw).

Dr. Kucho Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Ralph has made poor decisions this season. But look at the players he has to work with and his budget. The damage that what done after Koeman left will take years to repair. We need stability at the club and can’t keep changing the manager. And for people who say Ralph should leave, who would come in and do a better job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 He has been a crushing disappointment. Puel, the Clown and Hughes were underwhelming appointments but this guy felt like a genuine coup. And he started great. And we loved him. But he's lost it and we are going down. We'll sack him and we still go down anyway and no doubt he'll go off and do well elsewhere. But he (helped by our dogsh it squad) is taking us down. Sack him tomorrow, sack him on Christmas Eve, either way we're relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmonton Saint Posted 25 October, 2019 Author Share Posted 25 October, 2019 (edited) We are an embarrassment, even if the players put in a shift each week then that'd be something. No doubt tomorrow we will have JWP and PEH wheeled out saying it was unacceptable and that they will put it right. Evidence says they can't put it right.

And for people who say Ralph should leave, who would come in and do a better job? This for me is the critical thing. Ralph has proved himself in Germany, we won't get a better option. I feel sorry for him, working with the Reed assembled backroom of Watson and Davies, and the sh!t squad. Above all the biggest problem is clearly Gao. Bet he can't wait to see the "passion" in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 The thing is, he had this team 10th in the form table, or there about, in the last half a season. We’ve only really lost Austin and Targett from that squad and they contributed naff all. Sorry Ralph, the squad isn’t great but 12 conceded in 2.5 home games is beyond pathetic.

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Nope, I feel sorry for him.

Mr X Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 Makes you think Rohl was the football brains not Ralph...... Everyone says not Ralph's fault true to an extent but I've seen nothing to say that he has any tactical nous whatsoever!!! Yes players aren't great but he should be able to motivate them a lot better than this!

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 October, 2019 Share Posted 25 October, 2019 (edited) Genuinely, who cares? With our ownership, we'll never do anything again in this League. Football has become so skewed towards the big teams that there is no point anymore. Get into another sport, that's my suggestion. I cancelled my membership this season, and Sky Sports, and bought NFL Gamepass. It's such a better sport, it's just a shame you don't have a local team to support...yet.
