And yeah you can say well it’s a club issue and not a team issue but we were more than competing for promotion first half of season, sorry but put a nail in his coffin with this one. Hang on a minute Sefton. Almost everyone on here was saying we were a mid table side at the beginning of the season. Why is it suddenly moronic when the manager says something similar.

torres Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Just now, erowl said: Fair point torres but if we're both honest the supporters would crush the manager for these results if he'd done that to Fletch/Iorfa. He's only getting some leeway now because some see Dawson & Pelupessy as able replacements ... I don't. I don't think they are either - (by a long way in JP's case) and a manager has to manage different personalities etc etc BUT like with anything if you let one get away with things you are on a slippery slope. The easy thing for Monk would be to put them in - if he is on a short term deal he hasn't much to lose. The supporters see the ''strongest team'' and the blame shifts to the players The fact that he has given them the boot for allegedly being a pair of d1ckheads then i applaud that as it is best for the club in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot read the Star's stories now unless I am at home using a VPN, because I refuse to pay to read the tripe that makes up 905% of their SWFC output, so I apologise if my view is a bit off key, but the only thing that I would criticise the club for here, is the fact the chairman didn't say this and say it before the early bird season ticket deadline! Funny how this is only said after the deadline and it is the manager who has to say it, presumably in a straight answer to a question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were aiming for a play off place at least end of last season. I didn't think Bruce with 20 years of manager experience and at nearly 60 was coming to consolidate in mid table for a couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Before the season started Four-Four-Two predicted that we would finish 10th, Skysports 24th (maybe due to points deduction?) and James O'Connor's response to this in an Owlstalk thread summed up the consensus of opinion with only two, or three people thinking we would do better. This was J O'Cs post and I think it is spot on and well balanced as opposed to those who think we should be doing so much better (I suspect some of them have upped their expectations just because the pigs are flying high. As much as it hurts to admit it, they have been run, and are still being run, a lot more professionally than we are right now, by our invisible clown of an owner, who only pops up to see us when he wants us to spend more money, or to tell us it is not his fault we are in this state)! "10th is where I predict , although anywhere from 9th to 14th is believable . We are decent , solid but lacking in many areas. We are the epitome of mid table mediocrity " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Monk’s on the naughty step with most on here so anything he says will get jumped on whether it be positive or negative. I’m looking forward to the meltdown when Carlos comes back because that’s where this is going 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley8 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Chansiri said top two in press conference so...... I wonder what he thinks of these comments. Nobody thinks we have a top two squad, and the fact the squad needs freshening up but you can't escape that it's been horrible to watch and very very poor. His tactics and admiration at Blackburn that his tactics were to wait until the last 20mins. He's treated the tactics as if we are in the bottom three and now the quality has gone that was and we are playing like that. He sounds depressing the football is depressing and people are trying to defend him! Come on freshen up the squad yes but let's get someone in who plays football and can actually enthuse the players. Not good enough going in the wrong direction and I'm paying yet again for a season of this next year NO THANK YOU. Please Mr Chansiri unfortunately it's not worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Credit to him that he's never been drawn on the subject in dozens of press conferences and being pestered by those n@bs at the star. There could be dozens of reasons he's saying this now. All which we can only speculate. My only worry is he does seem a bit naive in managing a club with this amount of expectancy. I bet Facebook and Twitter outrage is in full throttle today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he’s the manager of a club that was third at Christmas and is half a dozen points off the play offs. It’s not the greatest motivational message ever to come out of Hillsborough.

It's embarrassing. We all know what the capabilities of the squad are. Limited. We all know what the financial situation is and who's fault that is. But let's put it all on Monk. Yes, but what has Monk done for us over the past 4 years? How many of our players can be called real successes? How many of them can be called outright winners that give everything they can? Most of the players that fit those descriptions are the ones that some groups of fans boo and have a go at constantly while praising the real culprits that are holding us back. I really hope that Monk has the opportunity to clear out the failures and negative influences at the club and get rid of them all, because they have failed, some of them over and over again, with the club paying them way more than they would have got for doing the same elsewhere, yet get hailed as heroes by those that only remember the minor victories and the near victories that they managed to achieve. Well those may have been highlights in some of their individual careers, but were just slightly brighter spots in a dark period that is ongoing right now and will not change until we improve the quality of players throughout the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want us to get a player manager in? No idea what you are on about, but if Chansiri says something you are best not listening to him because he is whole business plan relies too heavily on smoke mirrors, lies and lawyers!
