ramsbottom Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Typically misleading garbage. The previous 18months MacClaren had done very well for us. On performance grounds there was no justification for sacking him after 16 games, especially given our injury problems which you conveniently forget. Clement will do very well to reach MacClarens win rate which was exceptional.We've appointed someone who will say YES to the board cos that is preferable to experience. Woooooo, hang on. Why do the board want a yes man? Are you intimating the board believe they know more about managing a football team than qualified coaches/managers? They know how to run a football CLUB, not a football TEAM, there's a huge difference in those two things.As for Schteve's performance over the last three months of the season, our form was comparable to those teams that were relegated. Couple that with the fact the board, team, fans and press all knew his head had been turned the Mike Ashley justifies his sacking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You know, if this is what it's like to support a mildly successful club I'd rather us go back to mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'd be very surprised if a first time manager, who was a gamble has been made the best paid manager in the league. It's not a simplistic argument to say lack of promotion will mean he wont keep his job.You misunderstand me I said it was a simplistic argument to say those teams whom spend the most therefore should be promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webram Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 As a new poster (this is my first, although I'm an avid reader) I enjoy reading the contrasting views. In some cases extreme views about players, manager, tactics, etc. Surely, that's what makes football what it is. We are all a little shell shocked after our summer spending, because we thought it would translate into an immediate run of results leading to the prem. 10 million on paper is enough to lever the club out of the division. However, other clubs are spending too, so the division has become much tighter. We must judge clement at Christmas, when he's had more time to work with the players and systems. To judge him after 2 games is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement will do very well to reach MacClarens win rate which was exceptional.We've appointed someone who will say YES to the board cos that is preferable to experience. It's not misleading. That is his record in his final 16 games with us. Which forms part of the reason he was sacked. PC should be given the opportunity by the naysayers to at least play 16 league games and compare with that record. Despite how some of us think we are capable of automatic promotion, the play off route is easily attainable. PC will only have to do slightly better than that form for the entire season to make the play offs. Honestly I don't quite know what your issue is. That I want to give PC a third of the season before people form opinions or that I highlighted SM record in the final third of last season.
