Many years ago I used to sit in the prem concourse when Riedy was here and as the teams were read out a group of men and women behind booed Dicho’s name I turned around and gave them a justified mouthful then after about 10 mins he throws himself for a header scores and gets a cut head for his efforts and the same mob a jumping all over,when I asked why they booed they all said cos they did over there well unfortunately this sums up some of our fans
Unless i'm reading that wrong our best xG performances both for and against were with Dodds in charge.
100% agree and as for the ‘appointing a manager who wasn’t wanted’ response, who the **** do people think they are. It’s a high stakes professional game not X factor.
Given it's his primary job and not mine, absolutely him. Shame it doesn't transition on game day performance or in-game management.
Mate. He is more qualified than everyone on this thread. That's not the point and it's not the mountain to die on. He is doing **** and most didn't want him. Hence the reaction.
You wouldn't stand behind a surgeon* shouting "you're ****e" while he's working because he wasn't the surgeon you would have chosen. People should be given some respect in the professions that they have trained, particularly by people who aren't trained in that profession. *insert the profession of your choice here.
You know they are losing the argument when this bull comes out. fans are now wrong as the coach is more qualified. Jesus.
Sacking him now and the club lose all credibility. You only feel drained cos of all the hyperbole about how Beale is the anti-christ and the worst football manager this club has ever had. Take away all the noise from so-called supporters and give him a chance
Let's be absolutely honest, a lot of folk who watch football haven't got a clue about the game or the first bit of understanding on tactics. I'm sure many of the tubes singing 'sacked in the morning' are ****ing.clueless too but it's okay cos they pay their money
The fan base have a right to voice their opinions. I guarantee you if it keeps up the club will back the fans. Any club that ignores and goes in the direct opposite direction will get some cold hard truths when they expect cash to change hands. Been some bull spouted but fans not being able to voice their opinion because they don't have the same level of football coaching experience as the man in the touchline, really does take the biscuit. Horrendous take.
Beale is the fall guy, I don’t like him at all but I can imagine KS and KLD rubbing their hands at the fact he’s taking deflection away from them. The ownership group need to step up or move on, especially worrying with the rumours of no budget being sanctioned for this window. I know the squad is bloated but at a very minimum we need a central midfielder.
The ones with a bit of knowledge are the worst though. Experts. I’ve heard people say he’s clueless, not qualified for the role, in both case’s simply wrong. It may not work out here but facts are he is neither so deserves that respect and those giving him advice in fact are not qualified and as you say clueless in the context of the professional game.
Yeah they are entitled to their opinions but I'm right that many people who go to football haven't got real understanding of the game. So if I'm speakman/kld I'm not giving two ****s what fans think. If he isn't performing in the metrics laid out by them then you can consider sacking him. You have to show strong leadership in this situation. If they believe Beale is right man for job support him and sign some players and at least give him a chance
Just had a look on Twitter, Jesus some of the comments on there are proper awful. However people feel about Beale the personal insults are just not on imo. Things like that will have an effect on not only potential managers, should he be replaced eventually, but also on players we might be trying to sign. It’s absolutely toxic.
