People are talking in that many abreviations theve just made up and I can’t follow what there saying however your use of well known abreviations it’s easy
Safc wtf are well known abreviations
I mainly have to guess at these others
Imo it’s just lazy posting when you make up your own abreviations
 
Just get the guy announced and let him crack on with it. The level of angst is just way out of proportion. Santa is going to be busy dropping off jumbo packs of pampers this Christmas.

If Beale turns out to be ****, the case for a new coach will be clear. Until then, good ducking luck to the bloke. It is completely counterproductive and ridiculous to give him **** before giving him a fair crack at it.

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.

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.

Good post mate, balanced which isn't always the case on this thread.

Two points, from my perspective.

Firstly Eddie Howe. From abject failure at Burnley and terrible reception at Newcastle to Champions League and a Cup Final.

Secondly I wouldn't say SAFC are buying players primarily to make a profit off. I'd say we're trying to make progress, on the field, while bringing in players who we won't lose fortunes on as we've done in the past.

I've absolutely no idea why people are so angry that we're signing players that turn out to be so good we have PL clubs wanting to sign them for ten times our investment.

WTF is wrong with people ...

... do they really want to go back to the dark uncertain days when 'administration' was a word posted daily on here.

To be fair, it looks that way to me.

The club has nailed the last 2 appts in particular so deserve our trust

Overall, the club has a very poor record with managers. The last 2 have left earlier than might be expected so something appears to be amiss at least with communication or contracts!

I had to laugh at a psot on a different forum that said he didn't care about how good he was at tactics etc, he wanted someon with personality.

Maybe that particular dickhead should focus on summat like love island

When Mowbray was appointed a large proportion of keyboard warriors went off it due to some perceived insult back when he was WBA manager

Back then I defended it, a quick and easy appointment who could slot straight in and steady the ship after Alex Neil cannonballed off deck and swam to Stoke

What I wasn’t expecting was ‘Uncle Tone’, this Bobby Robson persona who talked about helping these kids become the best they could be, tears in his eyes as he munched on McVities finest. The same impressionable hordes that hated him wanted him to have the job for life

Personality can help motivate young players in the short to medium term; it means bot all when you’re losing games you should be winning

Even if you don't understand wtf the meaning is crystal clear.

I'd say it should be remembered that most supporters don't use message boards, or go nuts on other social media platforms. When they do that, it will often be the same people anyway.

As with many things in today's world, a few hundred noisy people make a far bigger noise than their numbers merit.

My reservations re Beale are based solely on they way he was grandstanding about being the big loyal guy then shipping out to Rangers a few weeks later. It was a move he couldn't turn down but, to paraphrase Malcolm, " Nothing in his time there, became him like the leaving of it".

That and what a few of my freinds have said about him rubbing a lot of people up the wrong way at Rangers, though, as I think I said earlier, being English might not have helped him when he was under the cosh.

But we all learn as we go along, and why should Beale not? Everyone has said he is an extremely good coach so let's see if he can show us something.

No good leaving it to me anyway, I know nothing of any of the names, so it would just be a lucky dip.

So an irrelevant post then? Got it.

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.

Thing is, this isn't the same club any more ...

... like night and day compared to the last pathetic administration.

And I don't believe supporters should be listened to after some of the campaigns from the past.

Ainsworth ffs <doh>

You don't run a business and get the customers to elect the boss.
