The guy is two faced and soon as the going gets tough the real Carlos comes out His press conference was, as I expected, conducted like the Gentleman he is. You're describing EVERYONE in football in your post... Alexis Sanchez was asked why, after signing for Udinese, Barca, Arsenal and Utd, he'd said it was his dream to play for each of the clubs. He simply answered 'I have a lot of dreams'. You're very naive if you think that was unique to our former manager.

gypsyowl Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 why did he stop playing the way he did in the 1st season? now he's gone to swansea & they're playing how we did! Absolutely baffling. that's all I want to ask him, if we played same way as 15/16, then the following season finished 12th & he got sacked I'd be a big fan og him still, but when you're a boring negative manager who complains about everything, refuse to play certain players, refuse to accept any blame for terrible results & performances you're going to divide fans opinions as football fans have short memories. I think more of the mess he left us in than the great 15/16 season & that great day out at wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people think it's their duty to erect pedestals for others to stand on, and once there, use them as target practice No-one's immune, some can deal with it, some can't The higher the pedestal, the bigger the drop I think Carlos has the charisma to stick it out longer than most - but then again, he 'only' has to keep Swansea up to succeed His next post is likely to be the big one, so let's see ... I still wish him well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The anti CC posters don't, in the main, attend matches except the big occasions. They probably went to Wembley, the Huddersfield semi and the Blades derby. So they've only seen us play rubbish. I think Jos is doing a great job with the bare bones he has, but it's not exactly scintillating attacking stuff is it? Let's have a sense of proportion. Previous to CC, our most succesful manager was Trevor Francis..... served us as both player and manager...... but he get's dog's abuse on here as well.

bigdan2003 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Witnessed some of the best football in years during his tenure. All went wrong in the end, but that's no different to most other managers in the world. I find the jealousy / sheer hatred towards him pretty pathetic and, at times, really quite embarrassing. I'll always have a soft spot for him, like i do Luggy, Laws, Megson, Jones, Atkinson, and Francis. But i won't be gushing over him come Saturday.....

I am not saying it was our finest hour. But really. It certainly isn't. I've seen us lose at home to them 4-1 in the county cup (when that competition brought in decent crowds). Also 0-2 in about 1964-5. Birchenall scored twice. And of course we lost 7-3 at the Lane in the early 50's. Our record against the Blades over the last 70 years has been poor.

Bluesteel Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 He had a few flaws which had been lurking and became blindingly obvious from the playoffs last season onward. But notwithstanding that he has given us two play offs and got us very close to going up. The positives outweigh the negatives and I think in time he will be very well remembered. I think the cup tie has come at a bad time for that as in a season or two he would’ve been given a good reception but it’s all a bit awkward and even a touch bitter currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
