TomBustler1884 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Appointing Wassall straight away with a clear rationale of knowing the club, knowing the young players, etc, would have been a logical approach and, whilst not necessarily very exciting, understandable in my view. However, now we have had the likes of Lampard and Smith in the mix, I think he has missed his chance to appoint Wassall now. If he does it it will be greeted with a negative response. That's not Darren's fault, just should have been done earlier. Exciting isn't it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The role of 'support'er now seems to be assume everyone involved with the club is useless and spend most of the time slagging them off. When did everyone become such a bunch of *****. I'm sick of it. Whinge arses slagging off one of the best employees we have at this this club, with a long period of service. Calling him a puppet or clueless, or a yes man. If you don't find him inspiring, fair enough. I won't argue. "But the man is at 8/1 and i'm not happy with it, so i'm going to assassinate his character, mock his son and make oit Mel controls what he gets in his weekly shop." Makes me ******* rage. Where the **** is the respect? And that includes Shackell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassall couldn’t inspire a fish. If we hire Wassall then we will be accepting mid table mediocrity. It begs the question why we sacked McClaren? Wassall is perfect for us. We can all spend our time slagging him off and try and force him out the club. I'm off to abuse his family on social media #dcfc4eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should expect mid table next season if we want to build the team properly.... Bringing in youth players,developing then into a genuine attacking,free flowing team with increasing potential wouldn't be the work of half a season.. We need to somehow get out of our boom and bust attitude to each season and have a slightly slower burn attitude that ultimately leads to ongoing success and improvement to my mind.

It's a Roger mindset...setting up to not lose. The players have to be managed by someone who believes we can win, and take things from there. Of course the players and management have to believe that...me as a fan, i expect a mid-table season of mediocrity with an aging squad, youth and a few cheapies whilst the better players get sold.

Sexydadbod Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I really hope that we don’t get Wassall and I don’t think that we will. Mel essentially hired Redknapp due to Wassall’s incompetence as a manager. It’s was an indirect way of saying “I think you’re ****, you clearly need someone to babysit you” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 20 minutes ago, Norman said: The way some are talking about Wassall is ******* disgusting. As far as i am concerned, he has got the academy to category 1 status, got the U18s and U23s consistently in the top division competing against the best academies going. Got good coaches, who are highly regarded in place at all levels. Oh, and he kept us in the play-offs when Clement got sacked. For someone who actually earns his ******* money - one of the few who actually do at this club, you can do better than having a go at his son. Or calling him clueless. Because he obviously isn't.

Gaspode Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm quite happy with the job Wass is doing with the academy - but I simply don't want him as our manager (if I'm allowed to voice that opinion....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'd be happy with..... mark robins and steve taylor chris powell simmo. i don't think we need another ego desperate to bash the squad about. We need nursing back to rude health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what rowett said he was going to do but lied and was incapable of doing anyway,the useless snake. That seems a pretty sensible way to approach it - that time frame should suit the ability of a Smith or Warburton to build that type of side. My main concern is whether the fans are prepared to accept that - you only have to look at the post-match reactions on here (not just during Rowett's reign). Is a slow build with glimpses of looking an entertaining side enough to offset finishing say, 12th next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archied Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have fought mels corner from day 1 but if he appoints wassell in front of lampard then I’m afraid he’s lost the plot ,,, this club has clinical depression hanging over it and has had since the Wembley loss and the bottlers tag stuck with some great collapses since , now I’m with those who think it’s wrong to go over the top on the wassell bashing /abusing but to appoint wassell now over lampard or even smith would be like taking a clinically depressed patient with suicidal tendencies who has perked up on anti depressants ,removing those anti depressants and prescribing large doses of cannabis and alcohol ,,, im hoping the sudden rise in betting of wassel is a ruse(mel placing bets) to sway those derby fans that may be unsure about lampard into thinking he’s the right man ,, please god it’s that .
