Not sure 'getting home for Christmas' is a key factor in either sacking a manager, or a manager resigning. Can just imagine the conversation where Carlos urges DC to make a decision, so he can crack on and pick up his Turkey from a farm near Lisbon. This is professional football, not delivering diaries for the milkman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You've got to be kidding Oxon. How dare you question the font of all knowledge that is a tweeting Nicko?! I can just imagine DC having a cig outside the director's entrance beckoning him over; Here, Nicko, got one for you, CC has to beat Wolves or he's on his bike. Hedging my bets cos he'll be in the stands too. Nudge nudge, wink wink. DC is the only one who knows exactly what's what. Anybody else is guessing.

It's just the timing if he leaves after Friday's game which I dont personally think will happen. I think we're stuck with him until the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will get sacked, and I don't think he will resign. This situation has 'mutual consent' written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, lets get him back then eh? There have been spells in games where we've played some good stuff, it's not all been a 90 minute drudge, Villa away for one example, Derby away, there's another... I'm absolutely stunned that you think he can turn it around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think it will get to a point where the fanbase eventually turns. In fact, had the fans made their anger a little more known at the matches I would suspect Carlos would be gone already. As long as the fans sit there meekly and trudge out fifteen minutes before full time in silence then nothing will change. If you want Carlos gone, then stay behind at full time and shout for it.

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.

The only way is S6 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Well, this thread proves the one thing that every single poster on OT has in common with the others. Nobody can predict the future. No matter how long they argue, how many gang up or how serious it gets. No one really knows what's going to happen; against Wolves, in the 2nd half of the season or come next May. Not even him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last time, we’re on a shi.tter, it’s blindly demanding change that’s got us into a whole heap of shi.te over the last couple of decades. 6 wins from 21 games this season. probably 17 wins from remaining 25 games needed for a chance of play offs. Really think that is going to happen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really knows what's going to happen; against Wolves, in the 2nd half of the season or come next May. Not even him. It's impossible to predict the future but it is possible to consider the possibility of certain things happening. Probability theory is the basis of gambling and odds setting. If a club is top now there is a greater probability of them winning the league than there is of the bottom club doing so. Using the same principal it is possible to say there is a remote possibility of a club 21 points behind with 25 games still to play, winning the league, it is very remote. There's a better chance of a club 10 points outside the play off getting into the play offs but every game that goes by without 3 points reduces the probability. Our current form is 11 points from 10 games if I've added thing up right, unless we change that soon we are dead and buried. Realistically we need over 2 points a game for the rest of the season, does that seem likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a different place on most levels from the club that struggled in the 2000s We need a new manager and approach - it’s blindingly obvious. Providing the process is done properly we should be able to attract someone in with a record of success, rather than a string of clubs and a one season shelf life How much more evidence do you need to see that CC isn’t taking us anywhere?

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. well I go and have done all my life. If calling him a complete thrower makes me not a supporter then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
