Nuhiu was criticised in every game, everyone called him a useless donkey etc Fox was booed whenever his name was announced Fletcher turned down a new contract Hutchinson can’t get through 90 minutes in the Cypriot league Lee is basically on one leg now FF was injured/suspended/didn’t want to play for 2 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Even as bad as we’ve been, tonight’s the first night I’ve struggled to see a single player that would be bothered if we went down. We’re looking at best case 4-5 home games this season where fans can attend. We could be easily dead and buried by then. Our first ‘capacity’ attendance is likely to be in the 3rd tier too. And it doesn’t seem like any of them really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akbuk Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The bigger problem is fans are getting used to not attending live matches, we will lose a lot of paint customers if we're not careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The players don't look like they want to play for Pulis and they know they can get contracts elsewhere in a few months. Not excusing their behaviour in any way, but Chansiri has a stark choice, replace one manager now or 18 players in January who want to play Pulis defend and hoof football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Cosby Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Who would have been looking at getting players to renew contracts? We don't have a CEO or a Director of Football, we've got a revolving door of "managers" a crazy son of a billionaire and a fat Portuguese chain smoker... I'm up for blaming Pulis for all sorts tonight, but the state of the squad really isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a big big problem on our hands - all created by Pulis And that's before you look at his tactics, strategy, style, and training during the week etc You had me agreeing until the pulis point, if your saying it's been a disaster on the field since he came in your right. But to me you seem to putting all this on him which is wrong. The lack of effort stopped last Christmas for some reason don't know why. I know you've got a thing about defending monk no matter what, yes it's not all his fault and you may be correct about the signing not being his players he has to shoulder his part in our demise for not standing his ground, if he wasn't happy he could have left but stayed and took the money. I would have admired him for walking away had he done so. By putting this on pulis is way off I doubt the results or performances would have been much different no matter who was in charge.

So the fact we let some quality players walk in the summer for nothing, and failed to replace them? You honestly think that’s the managers fault? Give it a rest.

toppOwl Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’m certainly no football manager but it was as plain as day that the ins and outs of players that Monk orchestrated (or did he) was a disaster waiting to happen, it was so obvious we needed a striker first and foremost for this season, to start it without one was pure folly. The problems at this club are far, far deeper than the managers position, the job will become a total poisoned chalice, as a club we’re done, ruined, finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
