Rugeley Villa Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 What’s boiling my piss at the moment is his post match interviews. Personally, I think he’ll be glad when he’s out of here with a nice pay off. Nothing against the bloke personally, but it’s obvious it’s just not working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Interesting that he now seems to be trotting out the 'some fans have been against me from the start' mantra. Well, it's up to you Steve to win them over. That is your job. Deliver what your 'reputation' aspires to and get the club promoted, and you will stand a much better chance of winning them over than your current offerings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof hearted Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm starting to wake up with that depressing, eerie feeling I had in our final season in the premiership and it's all down to that melted Santa. word removed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may literally have been one or two who dsiliked him because of nonsense connections to the blues - there always are those perma-braindead idiot fans, but otherwise everyone was prepared to support him, even those with reservations over his capabilities. He has earned all the criticism that has come his way through systematically continually under-achieving, or failing to institute any common coherent style to our play, to failing to adapt to new challenges, to failing to incorporate his own sodding expensive signings into a tactic that works. **** up after big wins with pathetic defeats, crap game management, crap performance and zero creativity. **** him to hell for criticising fans who got fed up with the predictable turgid nonsense, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to break out the "We're not fickle we just don't like you" bed sheets. The majority turned at the end of the game on Saturday. Most of the away support have now also turned on him, I think Friday we will see the remainder turn if we don't perform and pick up 3 points. The longer the board leave it the worse it will get, and that just makes it harder for a new manager to come back from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great piece of writing, and totally accurate as it cuts to the bone. The images of Jedinak losing his foot races to "coastal erosion and a sleepy tortoise" will stick with me. This article needs to be sat on Christian Purslow's desk as he drinks his morning coffee. Thanks for sharing Kiwivillan. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes back to the fact that he's a 'small time' manager. He has only ever been successful at underdog clubs with little expectation (Palace, Blues, Wigan, Hull). He was a disaster at Sunderland, who are somewhat of a 'big club' and is proving to be a disaster here. He just doesn't have the mentality to be at a club like ours. We are a big club and this is intensified in the Championship where our expectations are promotion and promotion that is automatic. He cannot handle a club of our size and the expectations that are part of the territory. Edited September 24, 2018 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think many of us for our sins, have hoped IN TIME and with new players, its going to change. I think the tipping point has arrived for many like me that was prepared to give him that time. This is not going to change....There are fundamental deficiencies in this team that is boring rolling them out on every occasion. Whether, he sees it, denies it or simply has no idea how to correct it....I have no idea. I am all for stability I think its a bona fide claim.....but we cannot be held hostage to it. Metaphorically speaking his job is on a life support machine....its just a question of when do they switch it off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play like shite, but scrape a point -> Slags off fans after we get a poor 2-0 win against poor opposition -> then fans are way less patient when it comes to total horror shows like Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
