Selles

.
Giles and Drameh are defenders.

3 5 2 is a more defensive formation than 4 3 3.

It's why we did that to shore it upon sat when we knew the point was enough.

Let's do some chapter 1' football formations for dummies,' shall we?

 

The truth lies between your 2 arguments (Amin and MKO).
It's true that Selles was hampered by injuries, lack of real pace, etc etc.
It's also true that a lot of the time the players, especially midfield to attack, looked like strangers, looked clueless, played as individuals, seemed to have no clear plan, etc etc.
And that's why I don't mind admitting I'm on the fence about Selles. Overall I think he should stay as we could do with some stability, and be given the chance to see what a full preseason and his say on signings can achieve. On the other hand, I also get some people's concerns about him.

 

It would’ve been quite a risk for Selles to completely change a system he’s not played before as a manager (at least I don’t think he has) to then to do it bang in the middle of a relegation battle.

It was a second string front line so he made us hard to beat in the hope of us knicking a goal. The football wasn’t great but it did get the job done.

 

Absolutely. Get rid now and it costs us ****loads and we start again. Selles will walk into another job. To me, he went too defensive in the last few games but he did what he had to do, saved us from relaxation.

 

Or even relagation !

 

He certainly did that

 

Why would the current owner of a club that's going bust who's got no money fanny about sacking a manager which would mean paying compo with money we don't have then go to the bother of finding a new manager.

 

CFY

 

Which is why he set us up to defend. The thing you just suggested he do.

 

Who said we are going bust? Probably avoided that for another season as long as the playing budget is severely cut over the summer.

And who am I to speak for Acun? Why would he sack a manager who finishes 7th against the advice of everyone at the club to go and appoint a maverick who couldn't get the biggest bundesliga 2 club promoted in 3 seasons and then not bother to make any signings until 4 weeks into the season?

 

Sacking Selles would be the equivalent of hiring you as a clown for a kids party, giving you a Freddy Kruger outfit and then sacking you for scaring the kids!

 

Yeah, and no one wants 'relaxation'.

Except maybe Castro when he's passing stools.

Agree with the sentiment tho.

 

Selles will walk into another job like Liam did.

So we'll unlikely be paying his wages too long.

Or not all of them anyway.

And it's a lot cheaper to sack a manager than shift the likes of Giles and Omur off the wagebill, so it's the easy option if you get someone with a PowerPoint presentation on how to reintegrate them.

Then again **** them over after 6 months as well.

I disagreed with sacking Rosenior, I disagree that Selles job should be up for consideration.

Because stability and consistency of message is something our favourite silverback-alphaturk has no concept of the value of in the EFL.

He'll just sign another batch of showponies who get injured in 6 Months and look pretty and do mostly nowt even when they're fit.

Am I Acun out?

I'm teetering on the edge but no, I don't think it's a practical possibility without immediate pain for the club. And hopefully he wants to rectify it too.

But we can't keep running the club like it's an oligarchy.

 

Throw in all the talk of us being on the verge of administration because of our debt. There's been a lot of talk about our financial position over the last week from people adding 2 and 2 and getting 10.

 

Notice you didn't timestamp those quotes, and yes, we have run out of money and we are not sustainable as we are.

But gladly we are not appointing administrators this week thanks to Ruben Selles and Matt Crooks and done despite of the owner, not by his great hand.

Oh, I thought I was blocked again?

Twat

 

No Championship football club is sustainable without the owner continuing to fund them. This isn't revelatory.

 

Most aren't being funded by proxy via commercial loans at 5% PA.

 

I for one applaud Ruben. He kept us up with Sean McLoughlin at fullback. Man deserves the freedom of the city.
