  1. I'll be in the minority here and the sidelining is out of order but I don't think the arguments for keeping them are all that strong, you enter a competition to compete in it, not to be financially rewarded by virtue of the luck of the draw. Be interesting to see what the reaction would be if they said you can have them back for Round 1 & 2...
  2. I agree. I think they'll probably put something out.
  3. Well we do but you have to pay for the privilege, which apparently is absolutely fine and normal.
  4. Big "You wouldn't know them, they go to a different school" vibes.
  5. The biggest problem isn't the use of stats or perceived attitudes of players, it is repeatedly employing managers who are scared stiff of letting a football match break out.
  6. Things aren't completely broken, we wouldn't have been in and around the top seven if they were. Unfortunately they've just picked the wrong guy with the wrong personality and mindset to manage the football team. That is easily fixed if you are prepared to admit you made the mistake in the first place. Bite the bullet, move him on and get someone in who is interested in improving and developing players and an attractive attacking style of play and it will come good in time.
  7. Could it be that the manager has also been recruited on stats basis?
  8. Telling players they are shit had a negative effect, who could have imagined that. Allowing Reid to continue training with the first team after exiling him needs further explanation because it seems utterly bizarre on the surface. We really do need someone who can breathe some positivity and tactical innovation into the place, get rid of the energy vacuum and things will start moving in the right direction.
  9. We thank Mick for securing a second consecutive top half finish and look forward to him continuing the fantastic work he has done so far next season and beyond.
  10. Entitlement is nothing without booing and abuse.
  11. Rule 101 - fans are never responsible for any matters that may be considered remotely negative.
  12. Some suggested that the managers dour personality may not necessarily be the right fit for this club but were told such things didn't matter.
  13. The point is about how easy some people seem to think it is to move players on, there's a bit more to it than just 'binning them off'.

  15. The idea that he gets to dictate anything given the absolute horror show he has presided over the past three months
  16. Most managers never far away from the sack these days, makes sense to stick around and see if the next one likes you rather than going somewhere you don't really want to.
  17. Players shouldn't be forced into moves they may not want to make just because one manager doesn't fancy them.
  18. Appreciate options may be limited and time in short supply but that can't be right at all.
  19. Walker isn't going to play at a far higher level, you really need to admit defeat on that one.
  20. Coaching them, trying to develop them maybe? Where's his accountability? A few token words seems to be the most of it.
