Just woken up to a message saying Tim will be gone today/tomorrow..... Hopefully it's true, came through about 2am UK time so something must have happened
I got the impression with the lack of posts from the club and the nature of Baz’s YouTube vid he knew more than he was letting on.
I need something to beat this hangover I've woken up with and the morning heat in Dubai isn't helping
IF true I hope there is someone normal lined up to step in immediately, who has a proven record of keeping teams in the Championship with a simple no nonsense style of football and management. I won't get my hopes up though
Most of us could see it after 5 games, no idea how it's taken this long. Really thought he'd be gone by the end of October. At least, remarkably, the season is still salvageable and a mid-table finish is well within our grasp. Sad thing is, towards the end of last season I thought this would be a season for pushing for Top 2 like a Sunderland are doing.
If this is true then hopefully we've got an experienced, pragmatic replacement lined up; someone who knows the league, can set a team up properly and is open to adapting the system if things aren't working. Last night's performance was abject. A team who didn't believe in what they were doing and had given up. There's confidence and attitude issues which aren't necessarily going to be easy to fix. It's a big job to turn this ****show around but obviously the quicker that starts, the better. Hopefully today. UTT.
The German, who has endured a nightmare tenure since taking over in the summer, has received public backing from owner Acun Ilicali, but it's understood a change is now a very real possibility with City sinking deeper into trouble after a limp display against their Yorkshire rivals, who have more MKM Stadium wins this season than Walter's team.
It’s the right decision. I wanted it to work out and wanted to give him time to see if he could get past the teething problems but it’s just not happened. I was still hoping he could turn it around by the second international break but I’ve thought he should go for the last few weeks now. I didn’t mind him on a personal level. He’s got that stereotypical Germanic bluntness that is very much like Marmite. Can see why he rubs a lot of supporters the wrong way though.
Fingers crossed for good news today. My only issue is who is appointed next. Need a proven Championship manager. Will likely get some unknown quantity that has been managing Sunday league in *****lia. I don’t trust Acun to make the right appointment to give us a fighting chance.
I don't mind his sense of humour, but not going over to the supporters because he's wet, and his comments about there being more to life than football is just daft.
