ramblur Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 12 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: He says GR was under pressure to get us in the play offs last season, if that was the target why on earth did we sack the manager with the highest win % in a long time? He didn't say that he was under pressure from him. The fact that we were in with a chance of the play offs almost inevitably meant we had to go for it (what would fans have said if we'd just thrown in the towel?),and as such Gary had to concentrate on results rather than experimenting.It was this that would have made Gary feel under pressure to get results whilst the chance of play offs was still there.

I was not at the meeting but I have obviously interpreted what was said differently to you. Perhaps @Boycie could confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps @Boycie could confirm? From what I remember, I think MM said that GR had a free hit. He did build momentum and get to the edge of the playoffs but it wasn’t to be, I don’t remember him saying that not getting the playoffs was a massive disappointment or that getting the play offs was a important target in the few games he had left. I feel he changed manager because he couldn’t see a good out come with the one he’d got. Who wouldn’t of brought Mac back if there was a chance he could of finished what he’d started before his head was turned for Newcastle? For what it’s worth, not much I agree, but my opinion on why Mac failed was that since we lost at Wembley, all the squad got a pay rise to keep them together. Some got premiership money to keep them here. Maybe motivation was harder for them when they’d maybe got the reward in wages but actually not got the Prem? There may be a video of the meeting anyway, I’m not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what you have said it would seem @ramblur had the correct interpretation of what that meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think the pressure was because he’d built up some form and points. But it wasn’t to be as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Actually, I bet he was under pressure from himself too, I’m sure he’d of loved to have secured a play off place, I bet there was a good bonus ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very dare you! i take my responsibility very seriously! even though there was no gluten free options on the free food provided.

Nuwtfly Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 There was a lot to like in there, but MM stating that the Forest game was a 'must win' made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Don't really like the idea that GR is being put under that much pressure so early on in this season. Perhaps that's just me getting Paul Clement/Nigel Pearson flashbacks too easily. Really appreciate that he is allowing Owen Bradley to ask proper questions as well. RamsTV could very easily become just a mouthpiece for the club, rather than a balanced bit of media. Only time will tell on this, I suppose, but the future looks bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I looked at the the list of people present and thought “ i’m sure @David said that DCFCfans was being represented by @Boycie“ but there was no one of that name on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Serious question @Boycie, is that you in the photo for your avatar? I know some have photos of themselves, others relating to their user name (no, I’m not Mick Coop ?). Years ago wasn’t there a thread where members explained their user name or photo?
