al_bro Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 He also says “The football club’s had eight managers in three years, they can’t all be bad managers." We all know that. The one thing in common is the person doing the recruitment. No doubt KC has told him this. Whether it went down well or not is another matter.

Careca9 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Curle’s a decent manager and has a good idea what is needed but no way under current ownership will he get 100% his way and for that reason promotion is very unlikely. I can’t see them changing their ways and recruitment will be average to poor again. It’s going to be difficult to replace mcaleny and mcalmont just to stay 17th next year. As long as we stay up I take it as a major positive until we can get some new owners in who will run it the correct way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see positivity but there's little basis in reason to think that we'll be pushing up at the top end next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Their tenure is a bit like you hire a competent electrician and he says "be careful that wire's live" but you chuck a bit of water on it just to make sure.

Excluding the youth there's only CBJ, Jombati, McAleny, Barnes, Woods and Bilboe to extend or release! (Forgot Ntambwe and so should the club!)

A bit like the quote from the electrician currently refitting all lights and sockets in the house I moved into recently - 'Did you buy the house from the executors of whoever fitted this shite'?!

Bilboe, Barnes and Woods need to be given a chance or released. I'd keep McAleny if he can stay off the treatment bench and Jambutty and the countdown conundrum should be on the first bus!

None of the so called full backs brought in can defend. They are all safer at wing back. Why Kewell played 4 at the back I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I think we sometimes don't value players enough who can get through a season without injuries It's a lot easier to score 17 goals if you play 40 games than if you play 10. Dearnley is a talent, but it's only useful to us if he can play. Hopefully we'll get more out of him next season, now we aren't rushing him back early from injury like last time.

Which given his career is understandable, but that doesn’t mean that from time to time he talks absolutely bollocks. This is such an occasion.
