OxonOwl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Was the initial source of this rumour Nixon? And has he, or anyone else suggested any back up to this story or is it purely supposition or wishful thinking? There seem to be many referring to it as fact. or FACT even.

tarn owl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My Guess is it that this is people trying to jump ahead of a story and wishful thinking. The predictions will go very quiet in 2 weeks once Wolves have won 3-0 we've drawn 0-0 with Boro and Carlos is still here. Q breaking news Carlos has gone and I look like a fool.

Bing Cosby Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Stand by him when we lose at a woeful Birmingham, draw with a shocking Hull City and have 3 put passed us by a team who couldn't buy a win at home... But insist on sacking him if we lose to the best team in the division? Makes so little sense that it probably sounds about right. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I doubt this rumour is true. DC doesn't go around shooting his mouth off. The rumour exists because most clubs would sack their manager in these circumstances, we haven't yet, so in theory it should happen soon. If it doesn't happen after a loss to Wolves Nixon is covered because if Carlos goes in the next couple of months Nixon can always say the Wolves match was the last straw and we've been looking for a replacement. If nothing happens until the end of the season everyone will have forgotten what Nixon said anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Nixon's post I felt he was trying to make something happen and maybe trying to predict something as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest We Shall Overcome Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I will be shocked if this Chairman sacks him before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Who's to say Wolves are going to beat us? I think we'll pull one out of the bag! Carlos will stay, then onto Middlesbrough and back to normal! I'll be very surprised if he goes before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Why do folk call him kick a ball when he's a coach? Some of our 'fans' just use insults for the sake of it. I won't call them 'supporters' as half of Owlstalkers never go to matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is despite one defeat in eight we are further away from the playoffs now than we were before the eight games. Six wins in twenty is the only stat that we should be concerned about!
