And where things went right in fairness . Monks only full season with us, leading into the first few games of the next were almost inspiring
Monk had first hand insight to where Jenkins was taking the club and he was right.....He is at a much bigger club now and has done fantastic in his first season and turned the club around.......I would love to see him promoted to the Premiership i really would.....top man...
The way I see it is the players do not want BB there.They have no respect for him,they do not like his tactics nor his crazy selections. Player power will see him gone soon. There is still time for us to pull out if this self inflicted mess,but only if the correct manager and staff are put in charge.A manager who the players will look up to and respect.Someone with a good PL background. STID
Unfortunately, we are the Yanks "play thing" - we need them to see that their experiment of hiring an American Manager is failing and a change is needed and needed now. Unfortunately, I guess that they are stubborn ......
Can someone please explain to me why all of a sudden we are going to start winning any games let alone any of the next 6. Are we all of a sudden going to become good at defending? Is bob going to have some sort of divine inspiration and actually instil some tactical play? Are our players finally going to realise that they actually have a responsibility too? Please please please someone tell me what is going to change between now and next week??? Please tell me that we aren't relying on the fact these are so called easier teams!!! Please tell me we actually have a plan to improve our own game Please tell me that we don't think that we are currently better than them. Please tell me that we are only in this position because of such a "tough" opening fixture list. Finally and I beg you please don't look at the Palace result as anything other than it was which was 2 teams that are utterly clueless at defending!!! Rant over now going to go and hide in a dark corner until the end of the season
That is rubbish...There is only one reason and that is lack of quality all over the team. We could have the best manager in the world but if he only has sub standard players to chose from then he would be in the same boat......Every good player we have bought gets sold on and the poor players remain on long contracts and over the last 3 seasons we have a squad of players that have two or three quality players with the rest lucky if they were championship and Div 1 standard at the very best.....Im not saying for a minute that Bob is good or bad and i would love to see a proven premiership manager here but that would ruin his career with the squad we have today and good managers wont give us the time of day looking at our squad......We are starved of quality by selling our best and keeping the rubbish and you know who to blame for that over the last 3 - -4 seasons.....
He did ...He forced the club to sack him as after 12 years he was never going to walk away was he.....£3m proves it......
Well the next managerial dream team is going to be Curtis and Flynn , like I posted before when the majority where screaming for FG's head , be careful what you wish for .Bob hasn't a hope I'm afraid, if the yanks do spend big then it'll be against loans raised against the Club because it won't come out of their elasticated pockets.
Proves what ? he was paid off his remaining contract , the one that Jenkins so generously offered and agreed in July 2015 , 3 million equates to the 3 years remaining on it.
You have hit the nail on the head....We keep choosing the cheap option that wont change a thing.....Curtis is useless and Flynn is lower league standard and not even that today with the way he is ignored when jobs come up........We need a top quality proven coach who has done it all before and has the T-shirt that can attract the quality we need.....Curtis and Flynn cant do that they are second rate and not good enough......But i agree i think that is what we will end up with and a future in the lower leagues....
Well your not going to get a top coach Jenkins and the current board will make sure of that. The club at the moment IS lower league standard, so Curtis and Flynn are a good fit in that case.
exactly.....We have had a good run in the premiership and much longer than anyone ever thought so my only complaint is the way the last board and Jenkins had given up and run the club down selling our quality players for their own gain. They made millions from that and sold on a club raped of talent. It is going to cost millions to repair the damage done and whether the Americans will spend that amount is another thing but even £50m wont be enough.....The only hope is that other teams are going to struggle in the second half of the season and we do enough in the transfer window to at least give us a chance of survival....If we do manage to survive by the skin of our teeth then we need a massive clear out of players and coaches and the first one is to replace Jenkins and start again....
We gave up 9 goals the last two games , against 1: A team that had won 1 of their previous 10 games and 2: a team that lost 5 straight . The Spurs having scores 5 goals against is disappointing but not the most disappointing , not scoring a goal ourselves was disappointing , but not the most disappointing , having 1 shot was disappointing , but not the most disappointing ... having that shot not be on goal was very disappointing .
