Thanks for the memories but the man is a fraud when it comes to management...he’s an impact manager who quickly loses his sparkle. his cv say's that.

He should have went after Huddersfield but your claim is nonsense. In my lifetime he ranks above Irvine, Yorath and Turner for starters neither yorath or turner had the 'kings ransom' and some, that carlos had to spend.

GY-owl.4 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If he had bottle he might be a decent manager. you cant say he doesnt get sides going, he does. but only when its in underdog mode. the minute theres pressure, the minute there is somink to play for, he bottles it, in selection, in tactics. hes not a winner, we need a winner, hopefully weve got one, swansea need a winner...oops!

Yeah but still didn't do a very good job did they? I'm confident Irvine, Turner or Yorath wouldn't have got us into play offs with that money. It seems just because Carlos had money promotion should have been guarenteed. He gave us a great first season and last season we nearly got over the line. This hid some problems and we suffered from them. He made mistakes and he became too stubborn and negative. But worst ever? Not having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 4 hours ago, Belfast Owl 2 said: Irvine and Turner were were way worse. The whole transfer business needs some perspective- I'm not convinced all the signings were his choice, And relative to the division other teams have spent more. Plus the amount he spent keeps getting inflated. It will be £60 million soon. I agree the team lacked fitness and his overuse of some players was wrong. And the playoffs last year were awful. So I'm saying he had to go in the end but far from the worse. Thats all I'll say as I've no chance of changing your mind in any way Irvine and Turner were poor but managed the club during some of its toughest times - funding was virtually non existent and the club nearly disappeared altogether when Irvine was here. Conversely, Carlos had an extremely favourable environment to come into and a promotion push was the very least that could have been expected. The fact he left us worse off then when he started and players burnt out due to a desultory training and fitness regime emphasises his shortcomings as a manager when compared to the others.

They managed in different circumstances so can be hard to judge. But Irivine was arrogant and stubborn and was genuinely awful. Had nothing about him. Turner just wasn’t cut out for management.

myHero Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 9 hours ago, Sticky belly said: Swansea were really poor last night. I could not see them scoring if the game went on until midnight. It looked depressing familiar if I'm honest. Playing possession football at the back, but completely devoid of ideas in the final third. The only half chances were created by first time (hopeful) crosses into the box and hopeful long balls forward. No real interplay or link play to create chances and put people in. Saints weren't great but but they always looked the more likely to score. Personally Carlos lost me when we had something like a total of 5 shots on goal last year in about 6 weeks of games throughout October and November if memory serves me right. We can all put up with a lot but negative football and not trying to have a go is just unacceptable to me. I agree, but the look on his face after Southampton went one nil up, even I felt sorry for him. You could tell he knew his dream job has slipped out of his grasp, even a tinge of regret in there, that fate has taken such a wicked and cruel turn. Just like the cruel fate of the FA Cup draw. He's on his way back I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
