I enjoy listening to him and he's clearly a good coach, just not so sure this season has been the success some see it as.
Not really understanding what you mean by a free pass tbh, nothing wrong with commenting on his results but ive watched them a few times in this run and theyve been unlucky (they are def missing a striker - where have we heard that before) Any manager that comes to us is likely to have had a bad run or job in his career No matter who comes in they have my full backing Beale had mine even though i didn't rate the appointment but i wished him well n wanted him to succeed
It feels like there's a bit of trouble at mill with Still and Reims like. Maybe he's working his way out of the place. If they sack him, no compensation.
Don't think he's losing on purpose but there is definitely trouble. Has been from the start of his tenure.
Should have mentioned that before, nobody on here had ever thought of that. You are a bloody genius man, a genius.
Yeah sold Matusiwa who was arguably their best player first half of the season, replaced him with Stambouli who has played just 190 minutes since joining.
On Rosenior at Hull; They should be in the play offs easy the squad they have. Not writing off his ability as a manager but he's got top level championship players all over, Greaves, Philogene, Carvalho, etc.
For some reason mate he's got it in his head that the club selected Dodds and Proctor as the head coach and assistant. He doesn't seem to understand that the club are using the most experienced coaches at the club to fill in until we can recruit our number one target. He honestly believes we have picked them as our first choice for the job
You could use the same logic to justify never signing a decent striker ever again. We have a history of signing good strikers. It shouldn't be that hard.
I've been seeing comments regarding how Coventry are 'showing us how'. Really? Gone backwards in the league this season, sold off their two best players and their ground is owned by Mike Ashley. If Sunderland were in that situation people would be screaming.
Exactly mate, its just because they got to a semi final Most clubs have issues but according to some of our 'supporters' every club is in a better position than us
Find the discourse around Simms quite odd aswell. He scored 3 goals between August-January. We'd have written him off as a failure and a waste of money. Also seen some questioning why we couldn't have signed Haji Wright despite him costing 9million and them only being able to sign him because of selling players yet the same people will be furious when we sell Clarke and start shopping in a similar market. Sick and tired of it now it gets me down some of the **** I read from our fanbase.
I just hope when we do sell Clarke etc. that we replace them properly. Can’t fault Coventry’s replacements for their better players they lost.
I tell you what our issue is in comparison to the likes of Coventry...in my opinion anyway. There is less expectation with those teams, but our fans sometimes have an elevated expectation. It's understandable.
I think you can mind, they've got worse and a big part of that is Simms failing to deliver for long parts of the season. Wright is quality though
Aye some just want to bash the club no matter what There were folk on here who slagged simms non stop when he was with us, saying his work rate was shocking, movement was poor and that his link up was embarrassing. He joins coventry and they comment that they are delighted we didnt sign him He starts to score goals since the new year and they slag the club saying we should have spent the money on him
It just felt to me that when people called out the current results they were being dismissed as fans who dont look at the context. If I misunderstood apologies. But folk have a right to point to what look like the sort of results that are worse than some of our coaches appear to get under pressure for. We have a horrible record with supporting coaches generally. Feel free to ignore me. I think he is entirely the wrong profile for us. Like you though I will support him 100%. Probably more knowing me, I am something of an arch defender of coaches on here. I dont dislike Still at all, but I do think the Reims story is a bit overblown. If they get him, I just hope he is given a fair crack at it. Mowbray wasnt and Beale never was.
