If you think 3 managers by January in a season is a sign of a good owner / board then you may need medical attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly didn't think that was good enough. As good owners they decided to invest further in the playing squad. 2 of those wins have come in the last 4 league games. Time will tell but it may be that things are turning round from recent league form. Previous hasn't been good enough, a return to that and he'll be in trouble. Our recent history has a number of sackings we have made where you think, we shouldn't have done that in hindsight. Warnock, Moore, Bunn, Sheridan (at least one of them) even Wellens and Curle you could argue we ended up worse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or lining the replacement for the first one up before a balls even been kicked and starving him of any kind of competitive budget, is that the sign of a good owner?

They didn't buy the club until just before the season started. Sheridan chose to spend his big wages on Gardner and Porter. No one else to blame there. Football is football, Mr Sheridan touted himself for jobs elsewhere while with us. No different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were here from April/May and paying the bills not long after so were more than a little snidey with the way they went about it with regards to Shez but as with the previous owners they will do things their own way and at they end of the day it's their pockets they'll hit if they continue to employ chumps. I'm not arsed if we have four managers this season so long as we end up with one who can take us forward, 20 odd games is a pretty fair period of time to judge someone on and Unsworth has failed, it really is that simple.

PeteG Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Found it quite amusing that Andy referred to Andrew Strauss about not getting too carried away with a win or too down with a loss, it's something i've said we as a fanbase have done for far too long but it was only the previous week that Andy was shouting I told you so and talking about walking through League 2 back to League 1 after a 5-1 win at Dorking who are part time and had only managed 3 training sessions together since Christmas.

Our season starts now. If his overall form continues in those ten games we’ll roughly win two, draw a couple and lose 6. And we’ll be right in the shit.

Hemel latic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'd have to question the motivation of any player (or fan?) that didn't want the opportunity to play at Wembley in a Cup Final. Let's face it this is our best opportunity given the competition in the FA Cup and the League Cup. Maybe that's a view it's easy to take as a fan, maybe the players saw it as an additional game they'd rather not play. If that is the case there's a failure of motivation. Interesting contrast with the England cricket team. Before Stokes and McCullum they couldn't wait to get off the field of play, on the recent tour of Pakistan they did everything in their power to stay on the ground and win games. Not quite the same but I think there's something about mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
