Immediately then. Followed by him doing exactly what Rangers fans said he would, only much faster. Which may have been that progression that Speakman is obsessed with. The fact is that some supporters were rightly worried about his appointment and they were proved to be absolutely justified in their worries by both his results and his behaviour. If they were still whinging had he still been here and we were doing ok, then fair enough. He's not though, for precisely the reasons they thought he wouldn't be. Those supporters, of which I wasn't one, were right, everyone who slagged them off was and continues to be wrong. Accept it.
do you need to have an account on Twitter to see it? I can only see the post, not the actual analysis.
Expressing doubts, as a fan, about a prospective managerial appointment is one thing, and perfectly normal. As a fan, not giving a new manager of the club a chance and being instantly negative towards him because you wouldn't have chosen him is not acceptable. Verbally attacking a man for his accent and his appearance, just because you don't think he is a good football manager, is never acceptable. Expecting people to treat other people with respect and dignity is always acceptable. The truth is, Beale wasn't accepted and his behaviour only became more erratic as the pressure from fans became more unreasonable. He was never given the chance to prove otherwise and the negativity surrounding his appointment became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you click on his account, you might be able to scroll down to his analysis tweets? He made quite a lot. I’ve got an account so can see it either way, don’t post anything mind.
A week or so back his name came up as someone who might well be in line for a club gig this summer. It was just someone speculating out loud but I did think at the time there could be a fit with us. One concern would be his record as a top man is with an england u21 group that is elite. They really are a hell of a good crop. He sets them up well and they play with a lot of freedom. I think that would suit many of our squad, but would it work ultimately? I would love to see a return to the free flowing football. Could he react when it isnt working though? Might be fun finding out. Think I would opt for Maric or Svensson though.
Didn’t realise Svensson was offered the Brighton job when De Zerbi got it. That’s a great reference for him. the more I read the more I like. But the more I read, the more it seems incredibly unlikely
Feels like all the news went quiet after that imminent mention from the RWA rep on RTG haha. Surprised nothing at all has came up this week
I think Carsley is quite high up my wish list. These articles have piqued my interest. https://trainingground.guru/articles/lee-carsley-why-england-u21s-choose-players-for-roles-not-positions#:~:text=Carsley added that he encourages,can we play over them? https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/euro-u21-england-tactical-analysis-tactics I'm less sold on Svensson, simply due to an irrational dislike for a back 5. That's not based on anything concrete, it just makes me feel weird (I won't be calling him an ugly Danish twat with a weird accent if we do get him though- just thought I'd clarify that).
To tell you the truth I didn’t mind the bloke but with him getting attacked all the time he was never going to succeed.
I dont like the training ground guru article. I realise it is a short piece and I hope there is more to what I can infer. Players playing in areas of the pitch, rather than positions, isnt massively helpful in my opinion. Nor is the concept of playing where the space is. In my opinion space is the most important thing in the game other than the ball. But there is bad space and good space. Good space is generally space you create for yourself by manipulating the ball of the opposition. This often means actually playing in really tight spaces, in order to negate opposition players and find a pocket of space that results. One of our major problems in the first half of this season was teams being disciplined and banking two lines and blocking all good space. Against bad sides you can still find space because they lack discipline across the 11. But against decent teams it doesnt work. So you need to manufacture space. Dan Neil is very good at it, he will attract a man to come close then receive it and either pop it round him in a 1-2 or roll him. Clarke is another who sucks players in and then beats them and has opened space. If you are an elite side against a weak side, like England U21s often are space will exist and good players will drift into it. Foden is a master for Man City. The likes of Bernardo and De Bruyne move so well spaces pop up, or Haaland makes the move leaves a space and Foden is there. Again though this is elite players working in tandem. Do we have that in this league? No is my opinion, even Leicester couldnt play in that way every week. I think Carsley might struggle to implement those ideas in what right now is a lower mid table side. We need to be prepared, I think, to earn game domination from an intense out of possession game and a high tempo in game play. The Mowbray style of high tempo in game play was good. Can we get someone in who can replicate that and add to it with more possession when in front, game control.
Personally I think he was always the wrong choice based on his record. He had never managed a full season and was sacked with Rangers behind St.Mirren in the league. Couldn't care less where he's from or his accent - he was never going to succeed due to being a poor manager. That's why a lot of support was negative towards the appointment. Speakman thought he knew best - he couldn't have got it more wrong. Fast forward and we have the same football director having a major say in selecting the next head coach along with his failure of a mate who also has done nowt in the game at a high level. (excepting 2 disastrous temporary spells as caretaker). This is concerning because it screams mediocrity and jobs for the boys or yes men who will work with the current coaches doesn't fill me with confidence.
You know what? When people slag Dodds off we get, but the players like him, they have said so. When Beale is mentioned, apparently “he didn’t get a chance”, yet not one player has spoken up for him and to me that’s telling. But yes let’s blame the fans.
