This is not his squad or setup. Personally I will judge him around next christmas if he has had the chance to build a squad in his image! Depends if he wants to be here though. I'm getting no indication at all from his press conferences and general demeanor currently that he has any interest whatsoever in managing us in the championship particularly as the current board can break promises at a moments notice.

Last season they had Dicko, Sako and Afobe running amok upfront and were very unlucky to miss out on play offs, think they got 77 points in the end. Sako left on a free, Dicko did his ACL in September and Afobe wasn't great for first half of the season before he left. Sorry, I wasn't agreeing with them specifically, just observing the fact that they do hate him. I have no real opinion as to whether he'd be a good manager for us.

You are completely correct. Lyon are making noises about wanting him back, and I wouldn't blame him for leaving. But should he stay, and see this as an opportunity to build this great club (particularly when/if fox leaves), I feel he deserves that opportunity. I might be talking rubbish, but I think i read somewhere he was consulted when Almstadt was sacked.. why would they do that if he was planning to jump ship in the summer?

He's made a few comments such as having a full pre-season with Grealish, and also protecting the youngsters from the toxic mess we're in. I wonder whether he's just riding out this season like everyone else seems to be, and is thinking he'll be starting this job for real in May.

I wonder whether he's just riding out this season like everyone else seems to be, and is thinking he'll be starting this job for real in May. I think this is probably accurate. This season has been over before Remi came along. Imagine he'll be thinking he can make a fresh start in the summer, get a full pre season with the players and get them playing his system. I imagine players like Grealish will do well under him next season. Sure he played ok under Sherwood at the tail end of last season but that was just because he hyped him up so much and filled him with confidence. No doubt the talent is flowing through the kid, as with other youngsters. But if Remi can get them working hard then they'll push on so much more.

Zatman Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 but he has made no progress since he got here, I would suggest we have went backwards under Garde and he should be sacked ASAP, his win record is appalling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he was under the misconception that he would have money to spend in January, something that indeed could have changed things for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I cannot see Yorke being a manager who could sort this bunch of players out. He has zero experience in football management, and we are in need of a massive overhaul to get ourselves in shape. Not a job for a novice football manager in my opinion. Only an idiot would employ a candidate with that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
