Agree. Sorry Paul, that's not on. You're not a headmaster you know.

Exactly Paul, this group of players has been underperforming since the start of January 2021. They might be internationals, but they're massively inconsistent, and if they lose today it'll be the second time they've lost 5 games in a row in a season, under two different managers. I'm not sure what it's going to take before the penny drops that perhaps these players just maybe ain't all that.

We don't need a total rebuild but we do need 3-4 quality additions down the spine of the team.

Shame Dean Smith got the sack for them not being good enough.

And that's why Purslow had to appoint the right man to get consistent performance out of this squad but....

Losing Jack was indeed a massive blow. 
But I doubt he would have been as good under SG.
He can’t consistently get a tune out of Phil.

…. he appointed a novice for which there is simply no excuse. Edens and Sawiris need to fire them both ASAP before lasting damage is done

After only 6 months in the job and a January transfer window how do you know he’s not the right man?

What annoys me is the way the Media now make it out that he was brought in to keep us up.  I really don’t think that was the case at all. 

We were never going down under dean.

SG was bought in because they thought Dean would be able to take us to the next level

I don’t but performance and stats are abundantly clear on that.

Well thanks for marking my paper, I find that a bit rude but you obviously have some issues.
You might need to consider that yours is not the only valid opinion on here and you are not the final arbiter.

Or you could read it that I was sharing my opinion that the stuff in the middle wasn't particularly important. Crossing it out was just easier and I didn't expect anyone to get upset over it, particulalry given how often I've seen, on this forum, lines snipped from a quote or something altered with a 'fixed that for you' comment.
I have not seen crossing out like that on here.
Too full of your own self importance to realise.

You know what - I'm out of patience. Seen enough to know this isn't going to work.

Poor tactics, poor team selections, poor man-management (*telling the players' they're shite and they're going to be replaced in the summer).

Don't give this chancer a penny - Get rid before the summer window.

The team are devoid of EVERYTHING resembling a coherent football team. Gerrard Out.
