Manager for next season

[Dave]

Statistically Les Reed's ill fated reign at Charlton surely qualifies him as our next manager?

Isn't he a bit busy being the main reason Southampton have done as well as they have for the last five years or so?

Warbuton or Karanka for me. Karanka looks like he is on his way at Boro.

I'd say Karanka should be considered at least. He's done a great job at Boro.  Yes he may have a bit of a temper, but then some of ours players really do need a kick up the backside.  I don't think either Sherwood or Garde was truly able to give them that.  Think we could do far worse.

If Karanka's fallen out with a dressing room near the top of the table, you can only imagine how quickly he'd be in and out of the revolving door at our place.

If there are problem players disrupting the dressing room, then you would hope the club is looking to drum them out asap.

I think dl9's Davos the Dalek idea has got legs.

[brian green]

I can think of the first four he should exterminate.

[DaveD]

It's Davros. Davos is the geordie onion lord from Game of Thrones.

This is both disgraceful and funny.  You are a very naughty boy!!

I'd rather just keep Garde.

Just a question, but what has Garde done so far to show that he is going to get us back up? I like him, but I don't think he is the right man.

I think we have a terrible squad that has been getting worse for years. We've also hired several new managers in the last few years and have declined with each appointment. Garde is the first to actually call out some of our parasitic players. I don't know if he's the right man, but I don't know if he's the wrong man either. I don't think anyone could do anything with this squad.

yes he does call them out but then still picks them and we get tonked because they arent trying!

pure genius

Yes, God forbid a manager offer players an opportunity to prove him wrong after offering some constructive criticism.

just dont do it openly, its not that difficult a concept to  grasp

we are getting worse not better under him

did anyone want mcneill to stay?

Is there some fucking law nobody has told me about which means you can't?

Because otherwise it's one of those bollocks football cliches that people blindly follow.

Telling us everything is rosy whilst serving up utter drivel worked well for the last boss, didn't it?

anyone can see that everything is shit you only have to look at the table

garde calling players out with no backup plan was naive in the extreme and backfired

i watched a villa side stop trying against liverpool which cannot be defended.

he has made a shit team shitter, if you want to give reasons to the contary be my guest

2 wins in half a season

no further questions your honour

You see, you've just repeated the same tired cliche without explaining a thing.

Garde 'called out' as you say, those fuckwits after we got stuffed by Liverpool, which was the very least they deserved for their pathetic display and lack of effort.

I'm absolutely not having this bollocks about criticising them, it's claptrap. Fergie may have been against it but his players worked for him, they'd earned it.

not explaining a thing?

ive explained how garde publically called out the players then picked them all again the next week which acheived the square route of fuck all

ive explained that he cannot motivate them, has zero motivatial skills, is tactically inept, has won 2 games in half a season and is on paper a worse mananger than billy mcneill

and im the one who is deluded?

how many more facts do you want to ignore?

garde is not the man to take us forward in any shape or form

Surely we are all on board with this thinking?

No.

You'd hope that. But most of them are on long-term contracts. They're going to be difficult to shift.

What about Chris Hughton? Decent record for promoting teams and a member of the Socialis Workers Party.

Another one in the Hughton camp.He sorted out two absolute basket cases in the dogshite and the biffa bacons,both of whom had been relegated in head scratching situations and left both of them in supremely improved positions.He also seems to have done the same with Brighton.Indeed,I fancy them to sneak the direct spot on the blindside..so that maybe will be the flaw in my logic.

For myself,there seems to be a steely logic to him.I agree,his football is primarily functional but I think we need to move on from believing someone is going to do a Wenger and build a legacy.At present,we need to build the blocks and foundations that enable us to have a guided plan that will give the footballing structure and the targeted purchases the opportunity to grow.Southampton were mentioned earlier,they had Pardew and Adkins on their climb,and were ruthless in getting Pochetino and Koeman in when the chance came.

If Hughton is so good, why does he keep getting fired?

[Chico Hamilton III]

He's good at getting clubs out of the second division but not great at kicking in in the prem. Although he was sacked by Newcastle for finishing 12th in the premier league I think.

[Toronto Villa]

So we'd get out of the Championship and then we'd have to fire him for being in the bottom 3 all over again?
