I was planning to give him more time but it's like watching the Jol comedy all over again! Same excuses about gelling and BS. Left without a keeper, no credible defense although Amorebieta and Burn are in the team, no midfield, no wingers, nothing Felix out! And with him MacIntosh...
Up until now, I was clinging onto the very tiny glimmer of optimism that was the fact that at least we weren't getting battered by 4 or 5 every week like last season... Now that's out of the window. Although I'm against the whole "lets sack the manager in August" brigade in principal, I really can't see why we should keep Felix.
I am with Bidders here. I cannot stand the early dismissal of managers but there is very little to be positive about. I agree with people saying that we have undergone a huge upheaval, not just as a team, but also as a club, but once again, no Hyndman or David. Do not know if another manager could help the situation but my gut is telling me Felix is struggling to GET the championship. One thing for sure though it would be very interesting to see if another manager could improve the performances or whether the players are simply not good enough for is level. Dark times.
Not sure about Hughton but that's something nobody has brought up yet, if Felix does get sacked then who do we want in to replace him? I know he's been tipped to go to a premier league team but I think we'd be mad if we didn't at least approach Tim Sherwood to see if he were interested in the challenge. He showed in his short time at Spurs that he wasn't afraid to throw in the youngsters and I think working with our young guys he could get the best out of them. Long shot I know, We're more likely to end up with a Gary Megson or the like.
Anyone but Pulis or Alladyce I would give back my season ticket if either stepped foot in Craven Cottage!!!! Sherwood Hughton Clark John Collins Tigana
Tim Sherwood would be an excellent choice, not sure he'd drop the division, though. Dreamland but if we could persuade Moyes to drop down a division and rebuild his reputation with us it would be brilliant, but like I say, dreamland, unfortunately. Not sure about Houghton, would rather not. Khan has the dose to be able to afford a big wage so maybe Pullis could be a target. He did brilliantly at Palace and would almost certainly get us toward the top half of the table. Eddie Howe would be a decent choice. Unfortunately he's gainfully employed but would be worth chasing if we could.
Anybody who remembers Pulis's reaction to the Gills fans singing about the Fulham fan who died at the Priestfield should not want Pulis I would honestly cancel my season ticket!!!! Moyes or Sherwood would be good
Wasn't going to enter this debate. Well not yet anyway. However this post on the Club site by Felix ... “The good thing to come out of this is it is clear we have to change things. I cannot talk about what we will change as it’s five minutes after the game.” “If you see the four defeats, in the first three games, we were in the match and we could have had a draw or a win,” Magath stated. “But now we have four losses in a row. The result at Derby was very bad and it’s time to change something but it was not a question of preparation. It’s a young team in a difficult situation. “I’m convinced the quality of the players is good but we are not gelling as a team at the moment. After the losses we don’t have enough confidence to show what we are able to do." .... changed my mind. The man is in denial. Is he putting all the blame on the players? How can they gel when he keeps having so many different systems/team selections? Not to mention constantly playing people out of position. The obvious thing that has to change is the manager. This time Khan has to take resposibility and now. The previous knee jerk reaction when it was too late will not wash.
I've said several times here he would be gone by Christmas no change. This lads is an utter shambles.
Have just returned from todays match and for most of the game I could see FM metamorphasising into Sanchez. His total lack of any tactical ability and motivation is ultimately sapping the confidence in our young and talented squad. A Derby supporter I spoke to afterwards, said there is some quality in your team but where is the leadership both on and off the pitch. I advocated some time ago promote within and suggested Steve Wigley only to be shot down (Wonder what he is doing now) Parker is no Captain . and where was Dembele Burn Hyndman FM last 8 games WON 0 ~ DREW 2 ~ LOST 6 FOR 8 AGAINST 20 it does not look good so get a new man now as we have already got to play catch up. Felix out and take Ali Crap with you.
Well Wigley is assistant to Pearce at Forest and I'm still not convinced his record suggests he'd be a good manager. A very good assistant and academy head yes, but his managerial record isn't impressive. As for the players, Dembele is not much difference to Woodrow and Hyndman is only 18 (it's a sad indictment of how ill-prepared we are this season that Hyndman is already an important part of our two decent performances). Burn however I completely agree with. Why on earth is he not playing alongside Bodurov? Grrr... Moyes is a non-starter. Sherwood could certainly do a good job and Hoddle is a good manager with whom my only concern is that he is only just getting back into the daily swing of things with QPR. Although that certainly didn't harm Derby when they went and got McClaren last year... Murphy doesn't seem overlly keen to make the step to manager, but maybe he'd be a good assistant to someone for now. Whatever we do, whether it's Magath or someone else - we need to come up with a plan in the next week, or we'll drift until January.
All I want is "My Fulham" back. Said the same last October under Jol. please log in to view this image Ideally bring in someone who knows and loves the Club. So I'd go for Kit Symons and Danny Murphy.
All clear at the moment but I'll keep you posted. The only pain in my arse at present is Felix Magath and his total unawareness in how to set up a team to win a football match.
