sne Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'd really hoped we'd adopt the Real Madrid Galacticos "Zidanes y Pavones" philosphy but obviously in a much smaller budget a philosophy that didnt work? There are a number of reasons why Real "failed" with the Galacticos, to say it was because of this is if not wrong very simplistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Guus Hiddink is available at moment since leaving Anzhi... The football would be far better under him, but doubt we will ever go for such a brilliant manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Not why we would go for him, more how could we go for him? On our limited budget, etc. Ferguson isn’t working as well. He came out of retirement before, so he’s available as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football would be far better under him, but doubt we will ever go for such a brilliant manager Lambert is safe for as long as he want's to stay, probably even if we were to get relegated. Hiddink will end up managing some team at the World Cup this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) meant be going to Australia to become their National manager again, i know what you saying a long off pipe dream i know.. but he is currently available and could be swayed that would be showing some ambition, but never gonna happen, was just a suggestion.

Mantis Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Lambert wasn't sacked in January (which turned out to be the correct decision) so why on Earth should he be sacked now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2013 Lambert wasn't sacked in January (which turned out to be the correct decision) so why on Earth should he be sacked now?Because we don't have enough of the ball.

Electric Avenue Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Whilst performances have been somewhat dire, we're showing progress in terms of league position, points on the board, goal difference . I don't think a sacking can be justified . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If you think right now is bad, just wait. I have a bad feeling that December/January will be another bad spell for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Lambert wasn't sacked in January (which turned out to be the correct decision) so why on Earth should he be sacked now? How have you arrived at the conclusion that it was the correct decision? Yes we stayed up, but that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of his credentials. Southampton sacked their manager and also stayed up, and now they're ahead of us in the table. I'd say the dismal, turgid, miserable excuse for football we're playing at the moment means that it was entirely the wrong decision, but each to their own.

Do you think we should be in the position that Southampton is in with our current finances? Being as you think Lambert should have been sacked, who would you hire as manager?

Okay to stay positive, but I think we're going to pay the price for playing the way we've played the past few months. Tired legs from constant defending. Exhausted ideas because of dumb formations. Players mad at each other because no one can link a few passes together. I think it'll get better but it will hit rock bottom before we do.

I'd say the dismal, turgid, miserable excuse for football we're playing at the moment means that it was entirely the wrong decision, but each to their own. The goal at that point was to stay in the Premier League and we did. It's mere speculation to say that another manager would've come in and done better and what happened with Southampton doesn't really have any bearing on us. What's to say that if he had been sacked we wouldn't be playing similar "dismal, turgid, miserable excuse for football" but in the Championship instead? Honestly, I think this issue over the playing style is being blown way out of proportion. We haven't played like that for the entire time he's been here and there's nothing to suggest that this is how he wants us to play long-term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) I think this issue over the playing style is being blown way out of proportion Precisely. I could understand if we were on a massive losing streak and rooted to the foot of the table. Edited December 11, 2013 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
