Christian Purslow - Resigned

[cdbearsfan]

Purslow out.

[dave shelley]

Is he Tom Fox in a different guise?  Myopic to say the least if true.

[Clampy]

Purslow out.

Yeah, he's had long enough. Get rid.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

I'm hoping his reasoning is that it will be the Director of Football's decision to make, and that his job is to find and appoint that DoF.  That would make sense. That's what I'm clinging to anyway.

I don't like your tone.

Clampy out.

[dave shelley]

I didn't like our Tone either.  He's gone.

[TheMalandro]

Purslow out.

He had one task and he's blown it.

Fuck him. No nourishment here.

Having read the Torygraph article (which means I have now had to shower thoroughly) I don't think there's anything too damning there. It seems to say they're willing to wait a while before binning him for 'stability'. Now I know that's become a dirty word but I read it as 'we don't trust anyone on the coaching staff to do a temporary job, we'll keep him for a few weeks until we find the right man then give him the old hollow praise for all he's done and a payoff'.

I think he will be sacked at the next international break when the new Sporting Director is in.

When we were chatting in the pub after the game we thought that the most likely scenario.

Lets just hope by that time we are not to far behind, as I have just stated in the Bruce out thread, whoever is coming in, is going to inherit a talented, but very unbalanced squad. Bruce is beginning to do just as much damage as Pube head and it may take some time to get over it. Patience might be needed for the new guy.

[Drummond]

The squad isn't that unbalanced as there are players who ca do a good job for every position. It's just that the manager is just too fucking thick and stubborn to play them in the right places.

Agree.  If the plan is to bring in a Director of Football then it doesn't make sense to make a managerial change until that person has been appointed.  Whatever the plan is they need to implement it soon because as we saw last season, it is hard to make up ground on the top teams once they begin to pull away.

I'm not sure it is that bad, as players have been brought in on loan which is a bit different to having players on big money tied to long contracts as has happened in the past. 

[pbavfckuwait]

The squad is'nt unbalanced, we must have the most right sided defenders in the league, we have a proven centre half and even if he played Axel who has not pulled up any trees in that position, one injury and we are back to the worlds number 1 centre half in Bruce's eyes, the Jedi.
Loads of forwards, but as have been seen the last couple of weeks, trying to get them into a formation that does not mean our midfield is as solid as jelly and not able to protect our defence, that bloody hell needs protection.
Yes its down to the manager and his lack of ability, but those in-balances and just hoping we get no central defensive injuries leaves a new guy with alot of problems that will not be of his makings, at least till January.
