Carlos is more than just competent as he has proved in his two years. No longer are we the side living in hope that we can hit the 45 point marker. A new manager would have had a season of change to contend with no guarantee of success in subsequent years. So I'm well happy ! This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm at 8. Change may have led to "transition" season excuses. This way we will know where we are sooner - if we aren't making a challenge for automatic by Christmas then I'm sure Carlos will walk - he ain't dim. If we are in the mix - happy days!

matthefish2002 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I can see point of view about stability in regard to keeping CC but to read some people comments you would think Sheffield Wednesday improved league position is 100% down to him. The bottom line is we are getting higher up the league because the current chairmen has deeper pockets then the last one. Not saying it doesn't matter who is head coach but a generous chairman is far bigger factor in modern football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 With so many wilderness years, some where simply being in the Championship was a bonus, others where being in the play-offs was a hope rather than an expectation, we finally reach a season where the hope has to be top two. That's not been on the cards since we left the Premiership. How that can be less than a whelm of 8 I don't know - unless the last two years means that expectations are now so high that it's hard to whelm us any longer.

A big factor to me and I think some other people (but by no means all) when deciding a whelm factor is ticket prices. To me basically expectations are higher in large part due to high ticket prices.

A unified club, chairman, head coach, players and fans, THAT'S what has got us to two top 6 finishes, yeah the cash was the catalyst but to intimate that any old bod can do it with cash is, well, it's bleedin naive pal! Not saying money is the only factor in a successful club but is the main factor in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Someone at work the other day was saying how much of a better job CC is doing compared to Stuart Gray. Pound for pound I think Gray did a better job. In fact the spine of the side which Gray left still remains, despite the fact we've spent a fortune since he departed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 About a 6 for me. Up and down about Carlos staying. Depends what he does with the squad and therefore tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Mine is at around 2.5 I was upbeat earlier on in the summer. Mainly because I expected us to finally address our weaknesses, I thought stability might have been an advantage and I got suckered into believing we would return to the attacking football of Carlos' first season.
