Popular Post Daniele Giovanni Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 Gave a good account of himself on his time at Sheffield Wednesday, said he is still very fond of us, was gutted when we got relegated, and mentioned DC a few times, nothing nasty all good. Working wonders at Braga, and still dreams of working in England again, if there is one thing I miss about him was his interviews. Good luck Carlos, you gave us 2 decent seasons. 41 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BIG D Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 Yeah, I like him. Can’t blame him for spending the money that he was given. It’s a results business and we weren’t exactly building for the future. Took us so close. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post quinnssweetshop Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 Enough please. He nearly wrecked the club. 16 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SallyCinnamon Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 I also liked Carlos. I think he lost the dressing room towards the end of his time here and it came to a natural end. I also don’t think he was making the calls on all the players we were bringing to the club. I really don’t. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post upperwinngardensowl Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 Can’t stand the bloke and his rambling incomprehensible meandering interviews where he tries to come across as a cheeky quirky chappie for the media. That last 18 months was like watching paint dry. The first season was good until he managed to finally get his coaching methods across to the players and it went downhill. Ugh! 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Did he say Chansiri wanted £25m for forestieri when a £12m offer came in for him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Daizan10 Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 I like Carlos. I think the idiocy that has occurred since he left show it wasn't him that nearly wrecked us and he's a great character - look at Braga. He's obviously a decent manager. 21 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the squad had been refreshed and players sold to generate the funds, it might have been different. Who knows. All I know is I like Carlos, always speaks very highly of us. Some of the abuse he gets on here is unwarranted. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most managers like the sound of their own voice, some actually have a personality. In what way did he almost wreck the club as you suggest? Football managers do not control the budget of spending on players and have little or no involvement in terms of salaries paid to players. In the current era many also have less control about which players are signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Carlos/the clubs better work was right at the start, when I don't recall us spending huge amounts. If I recall correctly, the two big money signings back then were Hooper and FF at £3m a piece. A lot of the other signings that window were either free transfers or significantly smaller fees? And of course extremely shrewd loans like Lopez. Things started to go wrong financially after Wembley when we started spending much more than that, but I think it's become increasingly clear over the years that Carlos likely had little to do with that. I don't know how you can look at the recent history of this club and still blame Carlos. Edited August 24, 2021 by sheffield_dave 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The play off game v Huddersfield and the Sheffield derby proved he was at the end with us. Some awful football was played for the quality of squad we had. We had so much talent and werr so scared to use it and attack teams. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I used to be really critical of him but after seeing what’s gone off since he left I reckon he wasn’t totally to blame after all The squad he had to try and keep happy was huge, and some of the players that were signed for him we’re a shocking fit. Abdi, Urby, Rhodes, Winnall, Boyd, JVA plus a few more obviously weren’t wanted and carrying them in a squad undoubtedly led to morale going off a cliff towards the end 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from the moment he left, with the same squad the quality of football and results improved significantly right.............. His time was up as he had lost focus and the board were not making the right signings in terms of where the squad was weak but if we had so much talent why did we get progressively worse when he left?
