Also, I am not sure a new manager would help us. Maybe in the short term due to a new manager, but they will still have the same squad and come March/April time we could be on a similar run to what we are on now. We have an easy run on paper coming up after the festive period and if we are in the same position as we are in after this run, say mid to late February, then he should go and attempt the get this run of games a new manager usually gives you to prevent the threat of going down. Maybe if this bad run continues I may think he should go (I was starting to think this against Rotherham and may even change my mind tomorrow), but for now I think we just need to ride out this season, hiope we don't get dragged too near the bottom 3 and see what Jos can do bringing in his own players. I am not saying he will be great next season though, but he should be given a chance. Wagner is a good example to compare against.. Huddersfield didn't really do much when he first came in. He brought in his own players over the summer and they got in the playoffs with a team sheet quite different to the year before. Even look at his best mate Klopp, who has changed most of his team since he first came in. I'm not sure I'd trust a manager to buy players when after almost a year in the job he still doesn't know his best team or even formation from the players he already has at his disposal, and stubbornly freezes out experienced players who'd improve a struggling squad as well as one of the three players he brought in. We've had an "easy" run on paper for at least half of the 10 games he's just got 5 points from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Maybe give him the benefit of doubt! How do we know he's not ill or a member of his family is, or he's had some bad personal news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point sacking a manager whose contract is up on January 8. Let him see out the contract and then say thanks, but bye-bye. Costs the club nothing. If his contract does end on 8th Jan, he can just be put on paid "gardening leave" until then at no extra cost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had an "easy" run on paper for at least half of the 10 games he's just got 5 points from. Fully understand everyone's concerns. Just giving my take on it. Plus noone really needs to convince me to get a big majority wanting him out. If he's out now, so be it. I'm not calling for his head just yet. However don't agree that we've had an easy run the last 10 games. 4 of the top 6, 3 of them being at home. Only 2 of the bottom 11 we have played in that time. Yes we should be doing better, even with the teams we have played, but easy on paper it hasn't been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! fella. You should be over the moon now that Mr Chansiri is on the way out. I am, I am absolutely delighted Chansiri is going and hopefully we will get taken over by someone who can actually run a football club, take a look at Leeds fortunes since that mad Italian left for a perfect example.

Jos needs to get his players to do the talking on the pitch tomorrow and I couldn't care less if someone else answers the questions in the press conference. We never learn anything telling from them anyway. There are plenty of sticks to beat the club with already and we don't need another one. He’s got to face us tomorrow He is a cowardly dwarf who you wouldn’t want as your gaffer give him hell till he walks or is pushed we deserve better than that turgid football we are getting for no little expense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
