Duncan Edwards 2,189 Posted August 27, 2016 Get them all out now. I''d rather play a youth team and get relegated than watch this bunch of mercenaries destroy our club any further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daly 497 Posted August 27, 2016 AN was completely lost last season.We have never had a manager who went a complete season with no idea of his best side.Never mind Plan B he never had a Plan A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havemyhowsonit 0 Posted August 27, 2016 Alex Neil has got very lucky. About time his luck runs out and we get a manager who respects players and actually knows what he''s doing with his tactics. Neil out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickdundee 0 Posted August 27, 2016 [quote user="lake district canary"]It''s a marathon, not a sprint.That is all. [/quote]Is that the same way that we stuck with them last year, which ended in relegation. Now I''m not saying that we''ll be relegated but we only have two years of parachute payments. It''s quite important to get up before they stop. Neil hasn''t looked like being the man for the job since Christmas, he''s pretty much done nothing except admit his mistakes, and then just repeats over and over, this striker shambles just takes the biscuit.

Guest Posted August 27, 2016 Only children, or the mentally immature, would even consider sacking a manager after a very disappointing start, still only slightly below the requisite 2 points per game.You can just imagine that the most the "sack everyone" brigade have achieved in their lives is to get back home from the job centre without losing all their dole money at Ladbrokes.

Alex Neil hasn''t been any good as a manager since the start of the premier league when the team became his. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baywing 0 Posted August 27, 2016 But you can only stick with someone for a certain amount of time before you realize its a forlorn hope!He was forgiven last season when he held up his hands and said I made mistakes....however he cant continue to do so without reprisal !He is still trying to accommodate what he perceives as his best 11 players instead of picking his best available team.Examples are playing Brady at left back whilst Toffolo sits at homePlaying Naismith as striker with Lafferty on the benchHow many times has he played Howson on the right ?Whitaker ahead of Martin at RBNow I am sure as hell not one of those sack the manager brigade on a whim and have often said we need continuity and the manager must be given time...BUTTodays team selection was poorand to be honest I am not sure all is right in the preparation dept either the amount of injuries occurring ?Not saying sack him just tick, tock !!

Feedthewolf 4,790 Posted August 27, 2016 I''ll stick with them for now, but we have been on a downward trajectory and Neil faces a very important month to arrest that slide. If we get Oliveira and one other striker, the squad in itself looks very strong when you consider the players out injured at the moment... it''s up to Neil to start getting performances and results. If we''re stagnating in mid-table in a few weeks'' time and Bruce is still available, it will become an ever more attractive proposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
