New Head Coach

[Scout73]

I'm sure that the board take account of our views and then make their decision - that's the way it should be.

No they shouldn't

I would lose all respect for them if they did. We are emotionally invested into our club so we dont always think with our heads.

I work for a club and i can tell you they are very much a fans club however we dont take into acct their views when signing players or getting a manager. We havr experts in those areas to make those final decisions who know what they are doing

 

[Sour Patch]

I think you are confusing listening to and taking account of views with letting the fans make the decisions.

They shouldn't even be listened to.

Sorry mate I’m a bit old school
I live in Chester le street
Not Chester or cc street or cls I just get confused with all this abreviations talk
It ok when it’s a well know abbreviation say wba we all know what that means (. lol )

Is that short for 'deliberately obtuse, stuck in the past and signs off each text with 'best regards, Mr A Pedant, Chester le Street''

BTW it's a capital letter on Street.

If my posts are irrelevant, you don't have to read or respond to them. Given, the club's past record with managers, they should take notice of the views of supporters. Of course, there are many different views and we shouldn't make the decision but our views should be made and considered.

So even with the benefit of hindsight you’d have rather had Keane over Neil and never appointed Mowbray?

Mind, I don’t hold it against Beale speaking about his loyalty to QPR then going Rangers.

Facts are was probably a good thing to say in the moment to get fans onside (always a benefit) then the Rangers offer came unexpectedly soon after.

QPR to Rangers is a hell of a job uplift, especially given he had ties to club.

Circumstances caused that, not Beale.

I have said this before. Having on average a gaffer a year for 20 years is a poor look. Coaches want time in a job, they want to feel a club will show patience when factors outside of a coaches control affect their ability to hit highest performance levels. My suspicion is coaches and their advisors, certainly those with options, will think twice about us, even with the current owners under whom the same high turnover is continuing. Mowbray going raised a number of eyebrows amongst coaches I know. Had more than a few 'what is the logic behind that' type of messages. As close as we all are to the club we think we should be attractive to coaches, those at a distance and with a dispassionate view may well look on us without the same view.

 

[The Redbaron]

It would be a canny twist after all the bed wetting.

I just want someone who can build on TM and get the team setting up strikers to score.

Thats what we all want...Pretty simple. Instead, they lob hand grenades in to stir up the waters.

With Johnson lets not forget he took over from Parkinson and had some shocking players to work with. His POMO that people bang on about got 30 goals out of Wyke. He was instrumental in bringing players in as at that stage we did not have Harvey and co. Ross Stewart, Pritch, Evans, Baath were all heavily infleunced by Neil. Some of the young lads on loan like Doyle too. He gave Dan Neil his head for us. Ultimately I see Johnson as the coach that turned the SAFC football oil tanker round, and somebody else needed then to get it moving forward faster. I have no problem with Johnson at all tbh, and certainly not with his language. If Beale comes in and plays his part in our progression then happy days.

here here - LJ never gets the credit he rightly deserves!!

Whoever it is that comes in, will get my full backing, all that I’ve read he seems to be a very highly rated coach, something which I think will be a good fit, I don’t know much about him, but he’s going to have one hell of a job on his hands when we play the mags, get that right and people will be wanting a statue outside the ground for him

let’s see how we get on with him and support him as we always do any head coach/manager.

haway the lads

The main 'evidence' against Beale seems to be the testimony of Rangers fans on chat forums like this one

The dual Sunderland Rangers fans told us that Amad was useless and that Jordan Jones was the second coming so I’m hoping their judgement is similarly askew when it comes to Beale too.

I'm sure that the board take account of our views and then make their decision - that's the way it should be.

We have so many fans with numerous diverse views. I don't have any proof that the club were influenced in the way that you insist but stand by my view that the club should monitor the views of fans (which I think they do). That is why I will continue to be against Beale until he is appointed. Others presumably like yourself will accept that everything the club does or plan should be supported - we are different.

1+1 = total guesswork.

Why would a club, with a 50,000 fanbase, take notice of a few hundred internet warriors who shout the loudest ...

... it's like governing the country thinking the EDF represent the views of the entire country.

 

[TeamOfTalents]

I'd be more annoyed if the club were influenced by my whining!

Or my classic in the SOL derby when I shouted, 'Defoe man, don't shoot from the... !'

I remember shouting ‘let diouf take it’ when Richardson stood over that free kick too

Take away those who've walked, like Neil, and you're left with the likes of Johnson who'd just lost 6-0, and could've been 10-0, with a side way too good for L1.

Having said that, I agree with you and would like a 5 year manager next.

No it's not though. Any well ran club does not listen to fan opinion on football related decisions. Football fans are shortsighted, uneducated in the footballing world, too passionate to make level headed decisions.

And when they gather into a swarm they are a huge huge pain in the arse

The club should’ve laid down a PR strategy which involved playing down sultry foreign strangers with exotic names and at least looking like they fought Geordie Arabia on ticket allocations and flag shagging

Isn't that just deliberately deceiving the supporters?

 

[young2077]

Lj ??

Lee Johnson.

 

[John 11:35]

Isn't that just deliberately deceiving the supporters?

I’ve been observing the furious masses on another website and the phrase “bending over to take it” has cropped up a few times

I then donned my hazmat suit and read a few mag websites who employed the opposite metaphor, can’t wait to **** those Mackem bastards

With that in mind, I would at least pretend I up put up a fight

Johnson had us playing good attacking football. He simply couldn’t get us to defend effectively. Yes his excuses were a bit odd but I struggle to think of any manager at a press conference who doesn’t get derided for excuses after a defeat or bad run of form. If Beale gets us winning games we won’t hear many excuses so here’s hoping he does that.

Spot on mate. After Parky left, he turned our style of attacking play around towards what it is today, but without some of the star players who have come in since. You are right though, he was pretty clueless in how to set a team up to defend.

Neil improved us in that area and Mowbray took us a step further. It's now up to Beale to carry this forward again by tightening up our defending, particularly at set pieces and mix things up enough to amalgamate a striker into our style of play. If he achieves both of those objectives, I'll be delighted with him.
