Millenniumram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Not his fault we put a committee of utter clowns in charge when we sacked him. But yeah, should have sacked him earlier in hindsight. Sack him after the Blackburn game and we can probably still attract a decent manager. We’re ducked now.

Dinnitdough Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s chiefly his fault that we have no attacking power... He kept Waggie and got rid of Martin and Marriott... And gave us nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinnitdough Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 We sold Lowe and Bogle amongst others, we would have had money for a decent forward... I mean we added players to the roster, a forward should have been one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know many quality forwards you can buy for nothing and pay them next to nothing? That's why we signed CKR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as I see it, he has been screwed over big time, we have no money, we balanced the books by getting rid of them Cocu should have walked in the summer and kept his reputation.

Simple as that so you're unfairly assigning blame there He asked for a target man, he made a comment early in the season that Dursan was nearly done, our recruitment team let that fall through and decided CKR was apparently a decent alternative... Cocu was shafted by that decision so it's remarkably unfair to use it as a stick to beat him with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had umpteen months to sort it but the crowd of coaches failed to do what amateur coaches would’ve done ...replacement centre forward. How long is it now since we scored?

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 He cocked up,sold or allowed our best players to go and failed to both spend what money he did have particularly wisely. Nice bloke,awful for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to go earlier before we showed our hand. You’d essential have to bribe someone to come here now, it’s too high risk. the problem is systemic, it’s not like we’re leaky, losing 3-2, 4-2 etc, we cannot score and look absolutely second rate. The one plus point is the youngsters but they cannot be expected to drag this out the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphanram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was behind Cocu but anybody trying to justify that we shouldn’t have sacked him because of the shower we have seen tonight is wrong IMO. Cocu has gone, we’ve got it wrong on every level since he has gone. What happens from tomorrow will define this club. We’ve got to get rid of Rooney and Rosenior immediately and hand it over to McClaren, no If’s no but”s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocu was shafted by that decision so it's remarkably unfair to use it as a stick to beat him with Yeah Cocu choosing to play Waghorn as lone forward worked out great, but I guess he wasnt in charge of that. Or insisting on keeping C Martin or Marriott until we got other options, but I guess he wasnt in charge of that either. Formation, recruitment, motivation, he was the manager and he utterly failed.
