We've got reports in Oz that Dick has GONE! He resigned. Can't find anything else on these boards but I checked and it appears he has left.
It's on Sky sports. Here's a radical idea. I've said it before and I'll say it again. No manager can manage us until the rotten core is gone. Sack the f*cking players. Catts, AJ, Oshite, Crunchie head,, Seb n Fletch have all been here thru all them managers and they are all worse players than the quality we have just brought in. Sack them. Pay their contracts up but get the c*nts out of our club.
Im quite happy about this. I liked DA and appreciate what he did last season. However I have always wanted a young British Manager who has a good philosophy. So if we get a young British Managee (in the form of Sean Dyche) I would be happy. I honestly think Sean Dyche would be a great manager. I hope to god we avoid Sam Allardyce!
And that's the problem! Fletch is ok to be paid up as he is in his last year. Catts and Seb have 3 or 4 each! Aj is a high earner. Plus they all have some sort of resale value. If you bought a tv for £500 and then a 3D one came out which you bought. Would you then throw the old one away or would you sell it? Pointless simply getting shot especially as 2 of them are important to us IMO. None of us actually know what the issue is and we all speculate that it's those players. What if it's something else? I don't know what but I'm just playing devils advocate and thinking that it could be something else (probably isn't mind!)
I think Dyche could be a decent manager with a few more years experience under his belt but certainly not taking on the role in the perilous position we find ourselves in yet again. Sam wouldn't have been my first choice either but at the moment he is the man we need imo.
Your right MCB I am speculating but that, once again imo only, appears to be the common denominator in all of this. Surely Ellis wants the club to be doing better than it is. So I cannot blame him. I fail to see who else PDC was referring to,and remember it was the players, led by oshea, who went to Ellis crying about PDC, that got him sacked. I agree with you about certain high earners but what's the cost of relegation as opposed to paying them off?
I couldn't understand that. Oshea, slow and fossil like. Catts. An average player in a poor team Seb. See above Complete f*ck ups. We need people with footballing brains on the board.
And Brown who hasn`t played at all yet. I wonder whether that helped to piss DA off. iirc he said something to the effect that it wasn`t his idea and it would eat into the wage bill.
As of midday today (Sunday) the SAFC board lists the Head Coach as Dick Advocaat and the Sporting Director as Lee Congerton. Those are the known facts. The rest is press talk.
Here's an interesting fact. Your last 3 permanent managers have all lost their first game and won their second...against us! You do this on purpose, don't you?
If it is down to the players, there's no way they are going to be changed by a young or inexperienced manager if someone with the football standing of DA can't sort them
Sky's only saying he's said goodbye to his players and flown home. That's not quite the same as "Advocaat's Resigned"
Big Sam would. Not my choice but I am sure he would make certain demands of Ellis prior to accepting. Basing that on the assumption he is considered for the job. If we go for Pearson, arrogant tw*t, or Dyche it would seem to me ES is quite content to survive in the EPL on minimum outlay.
