Owlstalk is quite a funny read if anyone's got some spare time, usual massive attitude they have and how **** and small we are. Would be fantastic if he came here just piss there ****ish fans off.


Off topic a bit but i agree
Everytime ive been there

They just seem an odious lot

Even leeds fans can be all right sometimes


And i agree

Get rohl in at all costs
Itll destroy them
 
He didn't say any of that. Just said that Liam's style isn't what we want.

To me that's shambolic when we've just spent 18 months implementing it across all our teams at all levels and even our sister clubs, as part of a very deliberate plan.
are you saying it's going to be difficult to retain the possession football while at the same time stop the obsession with staying in our own half for too long?
if you look at all the teams in the Premier League they mix up between playing out from the back and the goalkeeper throwing or kicking the ball to the forwards
football isnt played in a straight jacket
 
So we appointed him to bring in a style of play, signed all these players to fit a style of play, got all our academy teams at every age playing our style of play, bought other clubs to implement our style of play at and to use for loaning our kids to so they could learn our style of play at a higher level than playing it in the academy teams.

And now it isn't our style of play because in the first full year of the project, we got frustrated by opposition teams sometimes on our way to finishing 7th.

Wonderful.
Tbf what Acun said was that we have been recruiting for a style of play that doesn’t fit with what LR is implementing, he specifically mentioned Giles in relation to this.

Out of all the fans i know and message boards i read, Sheff Wed are by far the worst. Know tonnes of Leeds and Sheff Utd fans and they're absolutely nowhere near the levels of Wednesday, they're beyond delirious.

Sheff wed fans have a insane napoleon complex
 
Well he was doing exactly that you don't think the managers we are interested only come an hour after sacking Rosenior do you.
what do you mean by "come"?
Tan and Acun may discuss managers but I doubt they talk to them first
it may be different with the clubs when there's lots of speculation about the manager's future
 
The one thing that just doesn't make sense is Acun saying he doesn't like Liam's style of football, then why give him a 3 year contract. I can only assume, that after bring in Carvalho etc, he didn't see the improvement in the attacking play he hoped for.

Certainly the home form must have been a factor, as I can appreciate if you are bring guests and crowds are increasing to 20,000+ then you would expect to win most of them.

I guess time will tell whether Acun called this one correctly or not.
 
Can’t say I’d be happy if we signed Walter. Guy couldn’t get the best team in Bundesliga 2 promoted in several years. Just seems like another Shota.

Also, @M88 EVN made a point about Coyle and Greaves begging Acun not to sack Liam. He’s usually spot on with his inside knowledge and one of the things I was concerned about was how the squad would feel, especially the ones who’ve been here a while. Whatever you thought of him, the players really liked McCann as well and weren’t happy when he was sacked for Shota. KLP not liking Shota was a huge factor in him pushing a move to Brentford the year he did. I said earlier on the thread that any slim chance of keeping Greaves is gone now. He’ll be the first to go.

LR going makes no difference on Greaves staying. He was 99.99% gone/going no matter who was in charge.

Suppose it all depends on who we bring in and what his plans are. Impossible to say that now Rosie has gone so is Greaves as by all accounts he was 99% leaving anyway. If we bring in Rohl and we've got a clear plan for promotion and the players he wants to bring in of a certain calibre, what's to say Greaves wouldn't fancy one more go at promotion with us?

I've said it multiple times, but giving him the new deal made perfect sense. As it was win win for everyone. Confidence boost for LR and his team and a well done for the work done so far, some added security for them also. Add that to the backing he gave him in the window he had everything he needed to get us on the top 6 and if that happened and another club came knocking, it gave the club security knowing he wouldn't be poached on the cheap.

Or at least attack more
There was too much kicking the ball around in our own half

One thing I have noticed is the usuals at the botanic are coming to his defence on social media.

Baz is also acting as public voice by spinning it on the pod.

Can criticise Acun for a few things. One of them is certainly not being able to control a narrative

I remember starting work at an oil company
All the employees said the CEO and Finance Director were incredibly intelligent and better than the employees
I said that was a crazy view. They didnt have a clue what was going on in the business.
Internal auditors came in and returned a few times.
One day the CEO and Finance Director were both gone!


Thanks for that, very interesting……
