The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[spangley1812]

general how can kmac just say on radio he will decide after everton whether or not he wants the job - the transfer window closes a day later!

this is not good enough , we need a manager in now , you have had 2 weeks to sort this , and a new man needs at least a week to deal in the market!

I could be wrong, but I think he said he will decide if he want to apply for the job !!

This adds to the rumour that Randy has kept back the money from the Milner deal and will only replace
MON after 01/09/2010

im starting to this this delay is because randy doesnt want to let a new manager have money to spend or pay compensation? the silence around the club is not good ! have we interviewed a shortlist yet general , and if not why not?

Be upset, but don't make stuff up.

Maybe Kevin Mac has job until the window shuts, and then a new manager from Sept 1st  would save the club a fortune in 'not being able to be in a position to buy players'

Of course I could be being synical.

[eastie]

yep he didnt say hed be offered it , but will decide after everton if he wishes to be considered

[Risso]

This is all getting a bit shambolic now.  I know O'Neill walking out in the manner he did left us in the mire, but we need to get things sorted and quickly General.

[PhilGibson]

Good afternoon General,

I completely understand that Martin Oneill leaving his post so close to the start of the season could not have been worse in terms of planning. His decision left the club in a very difficult position.

However... After today's result the club needs to unite behind a common purpose with renewed vigour and leadership. I am all for promoting from within the ranks and Kevin McDonald's apprenticeship up until today had been a very good one. I do feel that the club needs to signal its intentions in the very near future as to the direction of the club. If Kevin is to be the man we need to make it so as soon as possible, if it is someone else then we need to act quickly. I can completely understand Randy and the clubs desire not to make rash decisions based on one result and but when we lose so convincingly against a newly promoted team you can understand the fans concerns.

I just hope the club act decisively this week to clarify what appears to be a very unstable situation at the club, brought about by the previous manager leaving us in the lurch I must add.

Everyone take a deep breath.  Count to ten...  Breathe.
If we make a knee-jerk appointment now then it'll have repercussions for years. 

Lets take our time, get the right man and crucially plan for the long term.  Put it this way what would you prefer, Curbishley now on a 3 year deal, or wait a month ot two and have Klinsmann, Hiddink, Jol on a 5 year deal?

Appointing someone tomorrow, so they can have a dabble in the transfer market this week will be very risky to say the least as the new manager will not even know who, or what players he already has. 

[The Situation]

Why did Randy Lerner say we'd have a new manager in place for todays game if he knew he couldn't stick to what he said? Did us beating West Ham confuse Randy a bit after Macdonald did really well in first game as caretaker manager and did that leave appointing a new manager to be put on 'hold' whilst he wanted to see if Macdonald could carry on and do a good job?

General,

Can the fans who went to the game today be refunded?

Why should they be ??

We lost  , got well & trully hammered . it happens !

Why should the players be paid a penny after effectively bending over and taking one. Scumbags!

Thats the way football is & always has been   , you win some, you lose some, you get tanked now & again & you give out a hiding now & again .


Asking about money back cus we lost is pretty pathetic IMO & taking the piss ,as is asking after we've put out a "weakend" side.

[glasses]

I would want my money back had I gone, and would also like the players to donate a weeks wages to acorns. Losing, I can accept, getting a tanking from a better team, ala Chelsea is acceptable, just about. But that was totally unacceptable today. They offered nothing but surrender.

[Toronto Villa]

Honestly, people need to stop with this bollocks about getting your money back. It's part of being a football fan. Do you think supporters of teams trapped in League 1 or 2 go the ticket office every Monday and ask for a refund. We lost today. Yes it was royally shit, but get a hold of yourselves.

I agree.

That's the sort of nonsense you expect to hear from Wigan or Albion fans.
