Sack the Manager?

[Ethnic Tours]

Are you asking me or telling me?

Randy hasnt been afraid to sack his coaches at cleveland browns and if he feels he needs to sack houllier then im confident he has the balls to do so .

How has this man still got a job?!?!?!?!?! Why the fuck wasn't he out on his ear last night?

We're going down and we're going down without a fight. Relegation rivals/local rivals and they perform like that. How can you not motivate a team for that game?

He doesn't care, the players don't care. All are an absolute disgrace.

Look at the situation we are in, look at the performances we have put in, look at what he has said in the media. We'd be pissing ourselves if he was manager of Blues.

Get someone in who gives a shit. I couldn't give a shit about neat passing football (So effective that we're dominated by Wolves) Relegation would be horrendous for this club and this complete tool will take us down.

2 week break now, gives somebody a chance to come in and have a bit of time to sort out this complete mess Ged has put us in. What he is trying is clearly not working and won't change it.

PISS OFF GEDDY

I don't buy this we can't sack him with only 8 games to go bollocks.  Yes it didnt work for Shearer but he wasnt even a manager.

Also I dont want him moved upstairs either.  The man is a liability.   Put him on the next plane to Paris.

[Bad English]

What we want is a new Manager.

Period.

Maybe you will think differently once this month's is over.

There will be blood.

I agree.

Full stop.

Yes if he was a blues manager we would have  a field day.  Thats how far we have fallen.

Come on Lerner, fire up the Falcon 8000 get your arse over here and dispatch this clown back across the channel asap

I down want to see tip tap go nowhere crap anymore or gabby on the wing or ash in the hole or downing on the right, pires hobbling around and a smug smile after the game

It’s a cold and rainy night in Shanghai so I thought I could depress myself further by looking at our form under Gerard.

If my memory is correct he took over before Wolves away, when we had 7 points from 5 games and we were placed relatively healthily at 8th in the table.  We now sit in 14th with 33 points from 30 games – that is 26 points from 25 games. In that same period, counting from the bottom of the table upwards on 19 September, W Ham have gained 31 points, Everton 38 points,  Wigan 26 points, Stoke 33 points,  Liverpool 37 points, Wolves 27 points, Blackburn 28 points,  Bolton 34 points, Blues 25 points,  Sunderland 32 points,  Albion 26 points,  Blackpool 26 points, Fulham 28 points, Newcastle 29 points. The other 5 clubs are in a different league.

In other words, if you base our form on the past 25 games - a reasonable sample, statistically – the table would look have Blues bottom with 25 points, then Wigan, Albion, Blackpool and Villa on 26 points, Wolves on 27 and Fulham & Blackburn on 28 points (I can’t be arsed to calculate goal difference, so thanks to anybody who can cheer me up if this works in our favour). So it could come down to goal difference and I am not sure my poor we heart can cope with that from this distance, (or any other distance to be honest).

I actually think that sacking GH now would have no benefit as I simply cannot see an obvious replacement. There are a couple of people who could well get us through a dogfight – Big Sam, Neil Warnock – but would they be viable medium term managers of the club? The answer to that may depend on which division we find ourselves come May. Oh irony of ironies, MON would be very well suited to this situation.

I have to be frank, I am shitting myself with every game now.

Apologies for the double post, but I wasn’t sure which thread this was most suited to.

Alladyce for the run in, yes. Not long term. I genuinely think he would grind us 10 points out that would probably keep us safe. Long term, Moyes or Owen Coyle. Hughes is well over rated, and Jol would not be much better.

46 vote No well that fucking amazes me, what make the 46 think he deserves to stay in the job
can't believe it

I'd hazard a guess not many of those 46 were down B6 yesterday

I don't disagree he'd grind out the results, but i'd say the only advantage we have over the likes of Wolves on paper is we have a few in the squad who can play at bit. Bringing big sam in would thrown that advantage away in the hope we can match them in the effort stakes. With some of snakes in our squad i really doubt it.

[Risso]

I don't imagine many of those think he's doing a good job though.

Big Sam would maybe kick some ass and shore us up abit at he back he has good experience and many in he game respect him, unfortunatley for us Houlier hasn't

I hope that this almost general consensus helps RL to take the right decision, even if it would mean to admit that appointing GH  was  a mistake.
But I don't blame randy: Ged's curriculum authorised to hope that he'd do better.

And I'd like Gianfranco Zola for a long term job: great man, great player and  promising as a manager aswell  for his experience, tactical knowledges and vision of football.
