It’s eight matches to be fair - the away games count too. And for me, they are an important part of the assessment: our performances whether we win or lose have been very poor
Agreed but performances to a degree can be forgiven for results. I thought Blackburn, Portsmouth and Watford were ok overall
If I’m totally honest, I didn’t think they really were “ok”, despite results. And OK away performances isn’t good enough to keep a job when the home performances are diabolical. Blackburn outplayed us and we certainly wouldn’t have won had it not been for the red card. Portsmouth was good first half but we collapsed and were lucky to hold on. Watford was probably the best (from memory) but still a poorer second half.
One more game If he manages us to a loss against the Binners for the first time in forever, imagine the crowd in our next home match against his former club…
If Liam Manning is fired this early, the moron that offered him a 4 year contract should go too. God help us if there isn't a "**** performance" clause in that paperwork.
Knapper is the real issue here. He is demonstrably incompetent. His signings have poor performance levels His signings have bad injury records 2 major signings gave flopped He has gone through 3 managers The league position has gotten worse overtime He has spent £50+ million The club is severely in debt The football is the worst in decades His present manager is on a 4 year deal We have 1 resaleable asset The squad is bloated We have no identity We have a very high wage bill All sold assets were created by others I genuinely think he is incompetent. I see no redeeming qualities at all.
