R1chuk Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 He's just incompetent, never won a game as a stand in manager before. But maybe tbe club is alienating some players who perhaps don't have relegation clauses in their contracts to force them to want to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I hate the way he keeps going on about "giving the fans something back". Literally nothing would make me feel any better about this season, we could win the final two games 10-0, doesn't take away from the fact that the club have been an absolute embarrassment all season.

Harry Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 No manager coming in, in his right mind, would retain Black in any role. Clueless idiot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another puppet too scared to tell the media what he really thinks. Bet he pussyfoots around the players too. Would like to see him gone, not least because of his blues involvement.

Duck Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Don't get the selections he makes. Don't get his decisions. Don't get anything he comes out with. Don't get why we're even relying on him to look after this club. Please God let us get a decent manager and owner soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was essentially redundant as soon as Garde said the players will communicate in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2016 I am very much against black continuing as caretaker, particularly after his outburst in the press but to be fair we deserved to win today and by a couple of goals to boot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The 52-year-old has been personally selected by the boss who knows him from his time at France and his arrival could be the best bit of business in this so far fruitless January transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I blame him. i think that is just about the sum total of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I would love to know his thinking with that Sinclair sub, as someone else mentioned it earlier in the thread it's straight out of the Tim Sherwood notebook. It doesn't make sense on any level of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 We all want to get past this shiteness quickly and have something , anything, to be positive about and start the process of rebuilding with any green shoots . This word removed is not helping that at all he is prolonging the shiteness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Evening Mail who aren't exactly known for their journalistic expertise I recalled my understanding of the whole debacle from an OS piece, with quotes from Remi http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~5309363,00.html Quote Rémi Garde says Eric Black's experience within the English game was a key factor in his appointment and has tipped his new man to have an immediate impact. Black, who was a member of Sir Alex Ferguson's European Cup Winners' Cup Aberdeen squad, joined the club as first-team coach this week after leaving Rotherham to take up the post. The former Birmingham City coach and Coventry City manager has thrown himself into the role - assisting Garde on the Bodymoor training fields and getting to know the squad. And the boss has been impressed with what he's seen so far and believes his experience as a player and manager can only benefit the claret and blue cause. He said: "His experience of football and experience of English football is second to none. "He has played at the highest level. "He has been in this business in this country now for many years which was important for me. "I met with him, had some long discussions with him and felt he was the right guy for me to help me to help the team. "I've never worked with him before. "He played for Metz in France, in my network I've been told he could be someone very helpful for me. "I didn't know him before, only his name, because in France he was a well-known player and that's why as soon as I knew he could be available I met him. "He has helped me a lot already. "I think it was important for the players to have someone who knows the culture of English football well, I know a bit but he has worked here for a long time." I'll accept though, this is a petty discussion! (apologies if misconstrued as one-upmanship) Eric Black shouldn't be anywhere near the management seat, even in a caretaker role. An appalling tactitian who has managed to fuel the venemous flames of the fans by continually selecting hate-figures within the team and alienating players that could do an equal or arguably better job given the chance.

It doesn't make sense on any level of football. To make some sort of sense of it and I don't agree with Black's thinking by the way, was that firstly, the subsitution disrupts play. Secondly, I can only assume that his thinking was that Sinclair would run the channels/corners and act as an out ball. We were inviting pressure, depending ever so deep and simply giving the ball back to them too easily. However, from a coaches point of view, I would have brought on Richards and kept the five across the back. Black said that they had practised this for a few days, so why then make the back line a four after the sending off? Richards may have at least got in the way of some of those crosses! Still scratching my head too to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleAthon Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I said in the pre match thread that yesterday was the worst starting eleven I had ever seen us put out in the league. I stand by that. This man is either winding us up on purpose, is bound by some directive from above, or is a complete moron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
