My mother, God rest her soul would always say, “it’s more good luck than good management” when I got home after another beating. She never said nowt if we won
Yeah I love that phrase laughing stock, but in reality how many clubs or other fans are looking at what we do other then our own fans? Most of the crack on this thread is pathetic tbh.
Much of how successful a manager is, is directly proportionate to how good the players at his disposal are. With one of the weakest sides in the division, they were always going to struggle, no matter what he did. As much as we emphasise the importance of a good manager or coach, the people that win and lose football matches are the players.
I'm not medically trained but surely there has to be something seriously unbalanced, about someone, when a football club looking to appoint a football manager means an entire club is a laughing stock ... I suspect it's more to do with that person's insecurity than the club. N.B. Other totally uninformed opinions are available.
Like I say if he is credited with promotion he is responsible for leaving them in 20th. Can’t have it both ways and who built the team? Was it someone else? Of course you may back Bob up but we don’t know what coin he had to play with do we? They had the worst ever start after 20 games of anyone, including us, with a goal difference of -28 and had just been tonked off another of the weakest sides, 5-0
I havent read all of this thread in detail. We certainly arent a laughing stock and havent seen that claim. I do know, that some inside the professional game, thought we were stupid for sacking Mowbray. They still scratch their head on that. I thought Birmingham were idiotic for sacking their manager. I thought we were equally naieve for sacking ours. A case of there but for the grace of God maybe with us? Stoke, for as bad as they were, and as much as I like chuckling about them, finished same points as us. Leeds, well time will tell for them I suppose. I think personally they are a basket case of a club in terms of finance and ownership. Laughing stock isnt a word I would use. I do think though we are in danger here of losing the momentum we had, and in my humble opinion it will be due to naievety in terms of first team decision making. The next appointment will confirm or disprove that.
Anyhow I will worry about Heckingbottom if he’s appointed, so let’s not argue the record of someone who may not get the job. Leave that for when some bloke is appointed. But ****in hurry up man, I need to do some work. WFH tomorrow so be prepared for pointless **** from me on a regular basis
hopefully you are proved right tomorrow mate and then we can all calm down ps it never easy with this football club is it
You will have to excuse me but you aren’t sounding so bloody confident, but still confident ish if there is such a thing
