Has He Gone Yet ??

[Dutch McLovin]

Surely Xisco has got to be sacked today ??

[Owls Loyal]

Sorry to disappoint you, Dutch McLovin.

 

XM is hapless and should clearly have gone by now.

 

Buit Chansiri is clueless and dawdles over dismissals just as he dawdles over appointments.

 

[frastheowl]

 

I'm surprised.

 

I thought I'd wake up this morning to a Club Statement released at 3am.

 

We need to cut the cord now, to give us the best possible chance to survive. It simply isn't going to work, and the players body language after the game is testament to that. They look like they've had the life sucked out of them.

 

I'd be on the phone to Carlos now; give him the opportunity he has publicly stated he'd willingingly accept, and come and save the club. He could be in place by Saturday to manage against the club he supported as a boy.

 

Easy win for Chansiri; get fans back on side (temporarily). We're doomed...but someone with an affinity to the club, an ability to galvanise supporters, has successfully worked with the chairman previously and more importantly, a very good track record in this division.

 

Not claiming it to be the ideal appointment; but we'll need to be pragmatic. We cannot afford for another manager to come in and spend weeks sorting his poo out.

Xisco needs to go, but Carlos isn’t the answer, not with out transfer budget.

[Beighton Owl 87]

I don't see him going anywhere before the next international break. 

[Mole]

I think if we had lost last night, that would have been it. 

 

I also think that last night has bought him a stay of execution of one, maybe two matches, and if we lose those, he will be gone. 

[striker]

I keep checking but nothing yet. What time is it in Thailand?

[Owls Loyal]

I agree with every word:

I accept Carlos won't be everybody's preference. In an ideal world, he wouldn't be mine but needs must; we need pragmatism.

 

However, I can't understand where you're coming from regards the transfer budget? I can only assume its based on solely his last stint with us, and not looking over his career.

 

Since leaving us, he's managed sides with moderately low expectations, with very modest transfer budgets in relation to their divisional rivals.

 

In fact, since leaving us, he's only spent more than €1m on three players, all whilst at Braga, where he qualified for Europe, and got to two cup finals, more than competing with the powerhouses in Portuguese football.

 

In his last job, he prevented Celta Vigo from relegation, whilst operating under strict financial restrictions; brining in only two players...one free transfer and one loan.

 

Carlos is a coach, who improves players, and adapts systems to what he's got. He's not a manager who needs players to be brought in to adapt a particular philosophy. Of course, if he can bring players in, he will. But, I'm convinced, even without any additions to this squad, Carlos would get us performing at a higher level, on a more consistent basis.

It will be too late then. Relegation will be nailed on.

[agentwalker]

Keep an eye on Twitter/X to see if he gets unfollowed

[Luke]

Chansiri will keep him in charge, just for revenge on the protests 

 

That's the sort of man-child chansiri is 

[Rhubarb n Custard]

So long as performances are going in the right direction the results should follow and the manger should be cut some slack.

There's little evidence that Xisco is improving performances. Sadly.

[Jim]

Sunderland or West Brom will be his last game IMO. I’d be amazed if he’s still here for Moore’s return.

"Not yet. I'm waiting for a phone call from Mr C" 

[Southie_Owl]

Just heard Kuntz has been sacked....

 

..as Turkey manager.

I reckon anything less than 4 points from the next three games and he’s toast.

I don’t think we’ve ever had a manager more out of his depth. I include the awful Jos in that. Just reading that James, Vaulks and Ikiekwe aren’t injured, Xisco just chose not to have them in the squad last night. fizz me.
