Have tried to resist this thought, but after this afternoon it comes back time and again, each time stronger than the last. The thought ' Brown is completely out of his depth. He is clueless about what to do and flounders about. Talks a good game but cannot back it with action' Sad, but its time to go. We are slowly (some might add, not so slowly) sleepwalking into League 2. All that has been achieved over the past ten or more years is being drained away. There is time to stop the rot, but not much. Changes must be made in the management structure in time for the January window. Dither about and it will be too late.
Could be. But have lost all hope with owners, directors and club management. Think that we are dead in the water.
Just read this in the Sunday Express "Capello is a stumbling, stuttering manager, the boss who bumbles along from one match to the other without a vision, without a plan, without building for the future, without a development of a team strategy." Now who does that remind you of?
Sorry to hear PB isnt getting on too well with you guys. He had a couple of cracking season with us (Hull) but the above comments are identical to the ones found on our board a couple of seasons ago (and that was in the PL!) It seems he had a flukey couple of seasons
The problem with El Tanno is that he thinks it is impossible for him to do anything wrong. Every single decision he has ever made in his career as football manager is the right one, so if it's not working then someone/thing else is to blame. Has he tried putting all the player's names into a hat and drawing them out blindly for positions 2 to 11 yet? He tried that for a full 12 months from Christmas to Christmas at Hull and it didnt work.
Oh dear, poor Phil, poor you! He did do some great things for us, but lost the plot in the end. Hope you don't have to buy him a "plot" and hand out a shovel. Best of luck fellas, I always look out for your results still.
To be fair to him he's got little or no money to play with, however some of the signings that have been brought in have left a lot to be desired, he's also been hampered by the fact the 3 lads who were scoring goals for fun have all been injured, but he is forever changing the team formation and substitutions are baffling.
Hit the nail spot on there maclad. You won't succeed if you continually change things. Why not use the next few days to come up with your best eleven and then stick with it. Hopefully, playing together over a period will help them gell. The alternative is chop and change every game or as crab says just put all the names in a hat and the first eleven names out play.
That 2nd season we had in the PL he had two systems he used to switch between. They were generally known as a "45Garcia" (Garcia being a right winger played up front on his own) and "the one that works". For some reason you'd go from beating Man City with the one that worked to playing 45G against someone like Pompey and lose. If he'd stuck with the one that worked for all the games it would have come out at about 50 points for the season and we'd have stayed up. There were a few games as well where you could have a reasonable debate about whether or not our subs bench could beat the starting 11 despite having 4 fewer players. It's a shame he seems to be going the same way with you, I was hoping after he delivered us the PL that the time out would have seen him reflecting on those kind of mistakes and he'd do well with someone else.
