Sorry Col, you're deluded if you think that. The players just aren't good enough, end of...
Why would Sherwood, Pulis or Pardew have joined us at the end of the window with the squad that we have? 11 away losses on the trot would have told them all they needed to know. Beggars can't be choosers. Ramsey may not have been an ideal choice, but I am really struggling to see who else would have come. Phil Brown perhaps.
If the owners stick to the austerity plan, surely the only thing to do unless they enjoy burning money and creating problems with the League, I am also struggling to see any other manager we would have heard of, except the truly desperate, coming in the summer.[/QUOTE)
Whether anyone else would have come is a separate issue surely?
I'm pointing out how crap Ramsey has been (and Redknapp also for that matter).
****ing site is playing up.
My reply to Stan is this:
Whether anyone else would of come is a separate issue surely?
I'm pointing out how utterly crap Ramsey has been (and Redkapp before him).
A better manager would have kept us up imo.
Stroller what makes you think our youngsters are good enough?
We can't defend, why are we conceding so many goals in the last quarter hour of games? A manager/coach can only do so much with the players at his disposal, I don't think any of our defenders would be first choice at any other PL team. We have no pace in the side and no playmaker that can dictate the pace of a game.
To sum us up, we're crap...
We have taken 6 points from WBA and Sunderland this season, so we aren't that bad FF'S..

Probably getting relegated gives a very negative viewpoint. But, we are not done for totally just yet (City havw little to play for)and while I see the possibilities of us going somewhere worse than Wigan we still have Owners with cash, a Manager who seems straight and clearly is an excellent Coach and motivator, and players who have the ability to do well in the Championship, and give PL Teams a tough game. We have taken 6 points from WBA and Sunderland this season, so we aren't that bad FF'S. ComeOnUR.
DelusionalI firmly believe that Sherwood, Pulis or Pardew would have kept our squad up from the point at which Ramsey took over.
What is the point of Traore and Hoilett? I used to have a wind-up toy that would go off in all directions hitting the wall or door, those two along with SWP are as much use as that toy. We've had a skinful of underperforming, useless, overpaid wasters abusing our brainless chairman's financial incompetence and taking supporters for a ride. Anyone who paid top dollar for a season ticket has my deepest sympathy...
Delusional
In what way has Ramsey shown himself to be "an excellent coach"?
So Ellers is right delusional.Nope.
I think that Ramsey has employed bad tactics that have left our midfield wide open and therefore our defence badly exposed. Redknapp did the same.
A more competent coach over the entire season would definitely have kept us up imo and quite possibly just from when Ramsey took over also.
