owlsfan82 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 My thoughts RE: The Leeds match. Slow, unattractive, turgid. This needs to change. I'd let CC have until the end of the season and then (unless we get promoted) that is it. We need to play a more direct style instead of the tippy-tappy stuff that is not very exciting to watch. Granted, if we were winning every game and top of the league I would not be making this statement, but we are not, hence: IMHO CC is coming home to roost. His tactics may have worked in the short-term, but long-term he is not IMHO a good enough manager to work. Maybe in Portugal or wherever else he has been, but from what I've read from his previous work, he normally lasts about 13 months in a job by which time I imagine his impact has gone. I don't believe in making a change at this point in the season, but as I said earlier, unless we are promoted which feels unlikely to me, then it's time to go Mr. C. = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Turgid - one of those words that's only used in football nowadays and it doesn't even mean what people think it does. Unless you mean that our football is swollen and pompous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's not sustainable. In a way I do admire Carlos's stubbornness in sticking to it in the face of mounting boredom, frustration and criticism. Rhodes and Winnall must be wondering what they've joined.

Bouncing Owl Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think most acknowledge that if we don't get promoted this season, he will be gone. Really like the guy but I'm losing confidence that he will be the Manager who leads us back to where we belong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
