No players signed, best players sold! he got them 5th twice and won the FA cup! Brendan’s going to get his pay off and walk away smelling of roses! he is a charlatan and I am convinced he is now trying to get the sack. His decisions are just too bad not to be done on purpose.

LCFCCHRIS Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 I don't believe there's any way they sack him yet. After 6-7 games if we're still in the relegation zones I'd say they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 19 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: This was exactly what we were like in the first year or so of Brendan, it's why I don't get the desire to give managers long contracts. Agreed. We genuinely used to play with pace and harry the opposition under Rodgers. I think as the game goes more and more towards high pressing, running round like madmen for 90 minutes, it feels like most managers seem to have a 2 year shelf life before players lose their energy and can’t keep it up anymore. Think while the red mist is on this forum right now, when we look back in 5 years we’ll appreciate the job Rodgers did, but ultimately, like Mourinho or Bielsa, it seems he has a 2 year shelf life before his players can’t press and have the same energy.

Seem to recall previous sackings taking a few days. Puel was next day I seem to remember? Lost to Palace 4-1, 3pm Saturday KO. Sacked around 11am Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is modern football or perhaps was. In your face pressing , no time to think , wait for a mistake , capitalise. The reaction to this stuff will have to be the long accurate pass. However players must utilise space better and not stand still waiting for the ball. Only 20 years ago Scholes and Beckham used this to often devastating effect.

I remember reading that Top really wanted Brendan, but a long contract really gave Brendan all the power in this deal so presume it came from Brendan. Agree with you that long contracts aren't right, as even the best managers (except Fergie) seem to have a shelf life before it goes stale. How long is there to run on his contract?

Popular Post The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 August 2022 Fully aware of the financial implications but I honestly can’t believe he’s still here. It’s absolutely mind boggling. Sacking him should be seen as an investment because that’s precisely what it would be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I can see us possibly winning in that run would be Villa at home. At least he would be gone for the Forest game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 Given the amount of player movement over the next two weeks I don't think anything is going to happen until at least 8 games in, and even then I'd say there's little point until the world cup.

DerbyshireFox Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 After yesterday I’m veering towards a change. It had an air of Puel’s last match at home to Palace yesterday. I don’t favour the bile and vitriol many are putting towards him. He’s done a good job for us overall, but in his own words, this is the longest he’s managed a club, and evidently a pattern emerges of two good years and then a downturn. He’s done a great job in his tenure here, but he just doesn’t seem up for the fight. Matt Piper made a good point the other day in that you need your manager in a time of adversity more so than the successful times, and he just seems to have his tail between his legs at the moment. The atmosphere around the club is so flat and almost mournful, and it is to the detriment of the team. Maybe a fresh voice is needed. Realistically I don’t see his job under threat from above imminently, I think he’s got until the Forest game in that regard. I think he walks if Fofana and Tielemans go and we don’t replace them before the deadline. He is right that we need a refresh, I just don’t think he’ll be the man to oversee it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 As far as I'm leaning towards wanting him moved on, which I am. I still can't understand some on here with the recruitment issues we've had particularly the defensive ones. We've had to rebuild both of our wingback positions and add cb players and that's on top of a striker over the last couple of years. If KDH hadn't stepped up we really would've been in the shitter. That said, if we hadn't have had to focus on those areas then BR would've got that RW & ACM that we've been crying out for. Maybe things mightve been a little different then.

There's every point. Why let the situation get worse and give the next manager an impossible job. He should've been gone last season but dined off various excuses 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kopfkino Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 (edited) Are people actually expecting him to get sacked at this stage? Forget what you want to happen, do you really think it’s going to happen? I think Sousa is the only manager they’ve got rid of in good time rather than putting it off until there really was no hope. Pearson survived twice when he could/should have been sacked, Shakespeare managed 8 games when he should have 0, Puel deserved to go long before even the helicopter crash. Ranieri should have gone after that Boro game. We’re stuck with him for a while yet. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see this being a quick thing Edited 21 August 2022 by Kopfkino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
