sherlyegg Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Top two or very near; or gone by xmas, don't think fighting for a place in the play-offs will be enough, unless football improves dramatically then may hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This has to be the year DC insists on the target of automatic promotion. Failing that, and failing play-offs winner, it'll be time for a new manager. I'm pleased that CC has another stab at it. Stability is good so long as progress is being made. Aargh!! that sounds like the Conservative manifesto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxOwl Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was quite ambivalent about this one before because as much as I really like Carlos, a lot of the performances this year have been drab. That being said, he's had a lot to deal with this year so hopefully we'll get a season without tantrums and injuries to key players and we'll challenge for the top two. One thing that was encouraging from last year was that 6 game winning run under pressure- more of that from the off and we'll have a chance. I'll definitely be backing him 100%.

Dick_Turpin Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was 51:49 in favour of him staying - you can make arguments both ways. Fundamentally I think it would be harsh to sack a bloke whose team finished 4th. I just hope next season the football is worth watching because I've been bored shiteless this year. It's a dear do when the game is dull and the team aren't even playing in the famous blue and white stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastleigh Owl Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Great news. Good luck for next season Carlos. So much for crap journo's running round jumping to conclusions for the sole reason he conducts his business differently to everyone else. Looks to me like when he said his future was irrelevant and it was the team he was focused on he actually meant it. I expect an apology will be winging it's way to him from the local journalists at least who doubted he was being truthful when he threatened to walk out of the press conference. The man himself is as honourable as they come and we are lucky to have him. We've just dodged a ferkin exocet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Carlos as a man but I think we'll have a 'dip' this season personally. Happy you didn't buy a season ticket based on this? I'm happy you didn't buy one either if that's the level of your support! If you feel justified in not having a season ticket next season, what would make you tempted to buy one? Have you had one in the previous 15 years of mostly dross before the current regime? Carlos got it wrong in the play-offs but improved our league points in a tougher season, if he manages that again then we are in with a chance, far less effort than changing managers and starting afresh, especially considering some of the names we were linked with. We don't need wholesale changes, just get rid of some of the excess players we don't need and bring in a smaller number with more quality. The main concern I have is him getting the best out of the hefty investments we have made in Rhodes & Abdi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly some "fans" were not around during the Shreeves, Yorath and Turner years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play the way we have this year, i'll probably make the blades home game and that's it. (This was the plan anyway before today's news) Had a season ticket this season and sold it 2nd hand after the Preston at home on December 3rd, Couldn't justify being sat there bored rigid for another Saturday. Throughout my life i've had phases where I go alot, then I don't for a while, then I go again. You have to do things you enjoy and if I carried on doing stuff I don't like...well...i'd be abit silly IMO. The epitome of a fair weather fan!

Ever the pessimist Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Would not have been averse to him leaving - but pleased the uncertainty was kept to minimum. Hopefully he will be able to address one or two issues from this season and have a real go next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
