nor football management ability

 

And he's really proved to be a good manager throughout his career hasn't he. He's been an abject failure wherever he's been employed.

think he is doing ok here so far.

 

As said in another thread only top clubs attract successful managers anyway -this mystical English manager you yearn for is likely to have either been sacked and so available or untried. Good and bad with both but don't make it sound like he is preventing Alex Ferguson coming in (you wouldn't want him not English sorry)

We had a decent manager before Lowe came along and removed him. And nationality doesn't come into it as i've explained.

....who never worked together as a duo.....apparently.... :rolleyes:

 

Oh no, Wotte had absolutely nothing to do with the teams performance before he was appointed head coach.:rolleyes:

I shouldn't bother Tris - you're flogging a dead horse.

 

When we go down, as we will, it will be because Poortvliet and Wotte were unlucky and the officials were against us. As for Lowe, not even Peter Kenyon could do better.

You think he's doing OK? this is the most abject season in my 45 years of saints-watching and supporting. Wotte the fukc was he doing the first 25 games of the season then? Wotte is just a bog-standard dutch (no racial overtones here) second division manager, and he is demonstrating, together with his sidekick, JP, that he moght be a nice guy but he is not in this league, physically and metaphorically.

 

if this counts as "doing OK" you must have pretty damn low standards.

As mentioned already the dynamic duo (i'm not allowed to use the "D" word) is just a myth. Wotte had absolutely no influence during the first 25 games. I'm sure the Lowedophiles will back me up on this point.

Spot on.

10 days ago, you might have had a point, Nick G.

Today you just sound like a fool.

No offence intended.

 

Have you seen NickG's Portvliet comments?;)

Third tier Leicester were able to attract a successful English manager. Do you count them as a "top club"?

Now you're seriously redefining "successful" there

I'm sure the Leicester fans are gutted with their league position.

I'm sure they're not. Leicester did not attract a "successful" manager this summer though.

That's funny. Does this mean Ruperts cheerleaders won't consider Wotte sucessful if he keeps us up?

I didn't know Rupert had cheerleaders? Unless that's your stab at humour once again.

 

In my opinion though it is quite obvious that keeping a football team up does not qualify a manager as successful. If that were the case that would make lots of very average managers successful.

 

If he does keep us up he'll have done a grand job though...that much is obvious...

If someone is able acclompish what they set out to do then that can be considered a success, Pearson was "successful" in avoiding the failure of relegation, I hope Wotte will too

 

Successful in that regard yes. Not a "successful English manager" as stated originally though.

2 points in the last 3 games is not exactly what the plan was although we've at least had the other results go in our favour as opposed to our winning 3 game 'run' when everyone else was winning too. Strangely I think we may be closer to the 4th from bottom position after these last 3 results than after the 3rd of our winning trio.

Pearson was up and coming and his performance with the Foxes shows he's got more potential than the lower league rejects we plucked from Hollands equivilent of the blue square premier.

Let's clear this up once and for all. I want Lowe Out and i want Lowes cronie (who happens to be Dutch) Out. If Lowes cronie was English i'd want him out. If Pearson was Dutch i'd want him in. This really has nothing to do with race or my imperialist outlook.
got to agree you stick to your principles.

Redefine "successful" in any way you like to support YOUR opinion, but please don't alter the dictionary definition to rubbish my comment. Pearson WAS successful (where was he 'unsuccessful'?), continues to be successful, and has always been English to my knowledge.

 

If it ain't bust, don't fix it. Lowe is always saying he couldn't avoid managerial changes but this was unarguably one that is 100% down to him. (and I still don't believe WGS left because he wanted to rest his foot, or whatever)

So not being unsuccessful makes you successful? Yeah that i can't agree with.

 

Also i quite plainly haven't attempted to alter the dictionary definition of successful anywhere here...

 

If avoiding relegation on the last day of the season with two different clubs is what suddenly makes a successful manager though i'm obviously missing something.
