Tbf, I dont think Rhodes was his signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 He's the best manager of the Chansiri era...though that's not saying much. Done well back in Portugal tbf to him and is managing a decent sized club in Braga. Thing is, there's no way imo that he could make much success of what we currently have. There's also the fact some of our fans really don't like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never didn't like him for his bullsh*t talk, I didn't like him for his squad building of octogenarians and training schedules that kept players injured, or forced them to play though injury. Problem is, it increasingly looks (despite his constant bullsh*t talking of being the one building the squad) that his influence in the squad building side was minimal. Yeah. I'd take him back. He's probably too good for us now. Both those statements make me ruddy miserable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 We actually had a way of playing under Carlos, and seemed to have a plan with recruitment. I like Carlos and think it just became stale under him first time. Managers going back to teams never really seems to work either. Why would he leave Braga, a much bigger club and where he was born, to come back too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I’m sure he’s itching to leave Braga.... But then again he usually only stays a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If he did come back, now that the majority of the old squad has gone that might be a benefit, as he lost his effect on them. We might want to sign a decent defender or two in the meantime though before he signs someone who can pass but not keep the ball out the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was all that stuff about firing the club physio too. Edited February 19, 2021 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Never heard of the guy..Does he do a turn? Seriously tho, its not often we get to a point when half the season tickets holders refuse to go, we have 15 players crocked and watching their careers slide away, i'm arguing with my brother in the pub about it and people are taking bedsheets on the kop with words written on them showing their displeasure. It was ******** exhausting turning up watching it all fall apart and nothing been done about it. Im surprised how quickly people forget. There qas arguments on here everyday for a year before he left. But he makes funny quips on skysport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never would have bought Rhodes for a start. Anyway he did us time with us, we need a complete new structure, across the whole club, stay up and hope someone competent in running a football club turns up. Failing that DC has a lobotomy and the club is run properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever I am, I will generally seek out an Italian coffee bar, but these days, they are few and far between Now I take my pod machine everywhere, so I’ve always got my Italian style dark roast to hand My tip, if you like a darker roast espresso brand in a pod, Nespresso Napoli blend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny owl Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Never understand the hatred of CC. we finished 6th and then 4th under him. we were a couple of results away from him being the best manager since Atkinson. I don't know what people want. Especially after the managers we've seen since him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
