Walter Out

[TigerMarv]

We’re only going one place, that’s league one. This manager is so far out of his depth. He had no success in Germany. We concede lots of goals and can’t score at the other end. Attendances, after all the hard work building them up, will drop off based on performances. Having a significant over index of possession, mostly across the 18 yard box passing between defenders and the goalkeeper is not in the slightest bit entertaining. As a football manager he’s a fraud.

Spot on

I never thought Tim was going to work from the start and didn't agree with sacking Rosie but once it was all done I was willing to get behind and back the manager and team but I've run out of patience
I don't get to many games for personal reasons and not encouraged to go at the moment. I want to at least head to a game with a spring in my step of what might come. Rather than wondering if the opposition will score an easy chance from pissing around at the back too much with little scoring chances the other end

We really blaming Rushworths injury as a reason, when our current goalkeeper has been one of our best players?

As I said earlier in this thread, sacking Wlater would in itself be an admission of being wrong in the first place, afraid Acun's ego would be severely dented and that aint gonna happen. For all his mistakes, I want him to stay as our owner, but dear God step back from important footballing decisions and let someone more experienced in this type of thing take the helm. From where we were under the Allams it's night and day with regards fans feelings, but in his excitement to get it right, he has been so wrong. If he keeps on with Walter, there's only one outcome from what I've seen, and it's a spiral on a downward curve. I'd think more of the bloke if he came out and said, I got it wrong, then entrusted someone more knowledgeable to get the right man in to take us forward on the pitch.

The strange thing is, with that Acun interview, that I don't necessarily disagree with anything he says, in isolation he's right to say that we've been unlucky with injuries, that we've had good opportunities wasted at key times, that Norwich aside we could have had different results in almost every game, reffing decisions gone against us, but still, I just can't get my head around him being given carte blanche to carry on when the football has been as poor as it has. It is the primary reason that he let Rosenior go, a call I still think was right to make, but we cannot carry on like this, we are the most predictable i've EVER seen us

Well, we are when we're not on it, like the second halves against Oxford and Portsmouth. But when it's working we're not predictable just crap at finishing, like the first halves against Oxford and Portsmouth.
If we can just start finding the net more often we just might get the confidence not to cave in so easily. Am I being too optimistic? Probably. Am I convinced by Walterball? No. I do think we can avoid the drop though.

A good summation - I think it's gonna be a struggle cos this team has no goals in it, will anyone finish the season in double figures?. When we're on top (as we often are) we look clueless in the box, oh for a Bowen or an Abel!

Sacking Rosie was ridiculous and I think the fans who wanted him gone have a fundamental lack of understanding about modern football. That’s another argument though. We are where we are. It looks like Tim was a gamble that hasn’t paid off. The massive mitigating factor is though, he plays a brand of football that relies on scoring more than the opposition. It’s hard to do that when you don’t buy a striker when it was the glaringly obvious hole in our squad.

 

[bradymk2]

The striker we let get away in the summer is conway
Would have been a great signing

 

[GEvans76]

Acun was too busy with Fenerbahce in the summer which has resulted in the mess we are in **** knows what Tan was doing but explains his sacking.
Absolute mess.

'Liked' the post, but I doubt it's as simple as Acun giving him "carte blanche to carry on" in practice. I'm sure there will have been discussions about expectations etc etc (just as there was with Rosenior).

 

[Real ale tiger]

We're 45m in debt under acun.

Good reply sid. I suppose it says it all. We need to succeed every bit as the owner.

 

[rovertiger]

There's some saying we're £45 million in debt, where does that figure come from?
Has it been verified by the Club?

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2... You get the idea

It's based on losses in the club accounts for 22/23 and what people assume last year's accounts will show. Could as easily be considered investment as debt.

Thanks Mac, so it's basically guess work.

Indeed, and the majority of any debt could be to the owner.

Only part of this I disagree with is the bit about the striker. We messed up in the summer but in Pedro we have ended up with a striker who can score and fits the system well. I don't think the lack of a striker is having quite as much of an impact right now as some people are saying.

I don't think the strikers touches the ball in Tims system.... how many touches do they have in a game.... not many.

Pedros header against West Brom was a belter....

Suggest you ask Tan
