Nope. Players and management have to take responsibility for the shambles over the course of the season. The owner may have said some dumb things but he gave management the funding required to stay up and more.
Temple! The man's interference in team matters is the reason this season has been a shambles. He will probably blame everything on OGS and sack him quite soon. Everyone else's fault when things go badly, yet shimmy's on to the pitch to take credit for the very few wins we've had this season.
Tan shouldn't have to sack Ole. He must realise he is out of his depth and should go without waiting for the sack. But you're right about Tan and his antics.
Agree he has not helped club unity, but the players bought in were not good enough and the lack of heart at important times of the season has been unprofessional. My point is you cant blame one man for a so many pathetivc performances and managerial mistakes. He probably should sack Ole. He should have taken TP when he had the chance. Both MM and OGS are not PL managers.
OGS got the job simply because he played for Manyoo. He is a Tan glove puppet. Tan thinks he can turn this lucky red club into United in a season. It's Tan who is out of his depth. Sorry Temple but it is the irrational decisions of one man that is sending our club down with a wimper.
I think he'll be given until Novemeber, and I think that's probably right. Today was diabolical, however, and it really does concern me that we have a manager who can't seem to make his mind up about what the right tema is. I've supported Turner as much as one can, but today... he looked awful. But then so did Gordon M and Gary M and pretty much everyone. As for Zaha, the less said the better.
Getting a half a season in the Champ may allow OGS to get a grip GLAM. Have to see what squad he is left with.
One of the gutsiest performances under OGS this season was last weeks draw at the Hawthorns. I believe 9 of the starting 11 were Malky players. Need I say more.
That may be so but the form under MM would have seen us in the same spot. MM getting sacked was not a mistake, but hiring OGS was especially once we have seen TP in action.
Not sure what's next for you boys, but it will not come right until the philosophy at the club is sorted, and Tan needs to go, the guy is a clown!........
The difference in the two clubs today was down to the ability of the respective managers. To the extent that OGS was not the right choice in our circumstances at the time has become pretty obvious. If the courting and eventual signing of Solskjaer was solely down to Tan, I'd have more sympathy for the thread OP, but a whole load of **** is being piled upon Tan based on assumptions. If we can leave this perpetual Malky/Tan thing to one side for a moment, that was probably the worst performance from either manager and his chosen side I've witnessed this season. To say we didn't have a clue what to do about Palace's setup is an understatement. Players and manager should be rightly criticised. We deserve to go down after that. Solksjaer was the wrong choice to suceed Mackay, particularly if he had anything to do with bringing Zaha to the club as an answer to our problems. Pulis was the chioce back in January, but he was probably not "high profile" enough for Tan - to that extent I agree with you Bob.
Never mind it was a brief visit and hope you enjoyed your time mixing it with the big boys, It's a shame tan thinks he is the manager because if he had left things alone when malky had you playing some good football then you might have got enough wins for another season...Ole is not the answer even back in the championship but i think tan will keep him as tan will be able to have another go as manager next season and it will be much of the same crap. today showed how bad tan and ole are in allowing palace to score 3 unanswered goals and win comfortable....Its a shame but this league gets tougher as the season progresses and im afraid tan and his superstitious rubbish is your downfall...
Look on the bright side lads, you won the first ever Premier League Welsh Derby!!......................
.......It was good of you boys to pay us a fleeting visit here in the Premiership, hope you enjoyed your stay and maybe we can party on down again some time soon!................ please log in to view this image
Hull turned up, were solid and picked us off. Ole learned nothing from that apparently. Palace were only ever going to have 1 game plan. We played straight into their hands with selection and tactics. I was despondent walking into the ground having seen the 2 sides. HOWEVER the 2nd goal was the killer and it sums up everything that is wrong with our post MM transformation. Medel calls for a quick throw 8 yrds from our box whilst he has 3 palace players within 4 yards. That was f**king dull! The fact KTC was f**king thick enough to throw it to him shows how little value seems to be placed on not conceding **** goals in the current regime. Lapses like that can totally change the entire direction of matches and did. We gifted Palace that goal. Palace blocked everything, the worked hard not just to get into position but then to put pressure on the ball. They gave away loads of free kicks doing so and we couldn't establish a rhythm. I just wish we could be that hard to play against. I disagree about the Daehli 'holding mid' comment. He was played in a David silva type role and I thought he did well. We need a few to play with him. I also thought that Zaha going off was a mistake. He had the beating of his full back every time and we pretty much ended as an attacking force once he was removed. To be fair Noone did look injured almost as soon as he came on though. I would have rather seen FC go off, he might do a job for us next season in the championship but his touch and total lack of awareness mean he'll never be a PL player.
But we must not forget it was the 'irrational decisions of one man' who brought us up in the first place. For that, he will have my gratitude since in my conscious lifetime, I have now seen CCFC in the top league....if only for one season......and let's not forget if he goes we probably go an down through the leagues again. I hope we can find a way to come back up again too. And by the way, Dai, **** off.........your knowledge of football and what's going on is pretty dumb so keep your opinions to yourself. We don't need your help at the moment.
