It's good that you support Carlos and want him to stay in his job. If you think we're tempting someone away from their job with eight games left you're mad. Anyone who would want to take a job eight games away from the end of the season either isn't doing well enough at their own club to warrant seeing it through or isn't worth having.

But those were exactly the same arguments proffered when Dave Jones was brought in. And I was one of the people who proffered them. Jones' philosophy was very different to that of Megson, and I doubted that Jones could make Megson's team play. But boy, did he. I can't name anybody, none of us can. That's because in the first place we don't know who'd want the job, or what sort of contract Chansiri is prepared to pay. I'd be very surprised if he's not sought advice behind the scenes, although how far he's taken things is anybody's guess. I just don't want us to waste this season, that's all. It's a glorious opportunity with no parachute club being in the play-off places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpenguin Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Difference is that we knew Jones was coming in when Meggo was on his way out though. It was crummy for Megson and we were upset by it, but it worked because Mandaric had the replacement identified. Anyone who wants our job in this current situation is in all likelihood someone we should be concerned about, because why would they take the job now? Either they'll be out of work and with recent reason or they'd be in a job that was going nowhere and not worth finishing. It's not the same situation as 2012.

Once you arrive at the decision that Carlos isn't going to take us up this season...and you'd have to be extremely optimistic to think otherwise...then you're just killing time and playing out the season. Why not make a change and at least have a go? We've got the players to beat the other three play-off teams, so what's to lose? For me, Carlos is done now, so why stay the execution? It's illogical. If Mandaric had not had the courage to make a change, then we might not be in this position in the first place, and the Blades might not have spent all these years in the Third.

Not sure I'd agree with the last para - a fair few managers would be tempted..great squad, money to spend and a huge opportunity .. Very little to lose...Get us up, great - if they don't, say it was too short a time to turn things around and prepare properly for next term. But at least the new man will know the squad strengths and weaknesses and make the necessary decisions in the summer. He will be backed too. Think we know deep down this one has gone. It's all about good preparation for next season now - something that was largely absent for this one.

RockieOwl Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 If we want an example of where getting rid of the manager close to the end of the season and it going wrong we only have to look at the other side of the city. Sacking Wilson when they wanted to be in the top 2. The theory being that they would go on a good run to get in the top 2. They didn't. Finished in the playoffs and were rubbish and knocked out by Yeovil. There is no guarantees with getting rid of a manager and form turning around. We have every chance of getting at least 4 points in the next two matches which would be a good return for 2 away games. Let's stick with and get behind CV. At least till the end of the season.

The fact is bringing a new manager in with 8 games left isn't going to help, especially due to the lack of realistic replacements. Those calling for his head need to realise that despite the poor results we might as well get behind him. Miss out on the plays offs... thats when we need need to make a decision. That would certainly be the most sensible thing to do, especially considering the r results so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and I said long term not the last quarter of the season. Only one way from here, especially after the change they made. There "stars" will all leave this year imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
