keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 10, 2019 They haven't looked automatic for a while so why wait until now. Ten games left and they still have a chance, slim but a chance. And play offs look good. Just a panic decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted March 10, 2019 Losing consecutive games to sheff utd and then being battered by leeds not only showed that they werent good enough for top 2 but that he wasnt good enough to outwit a fellow top team...which is what they'll be facing in the playoffs.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 10, 2019 That is true GJL and we don't know the behind the closed doors problems. I'm not saying he is good enough but think the decision crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted March 10, 2019 If they go and appoint someone like Jokanovic and he has a 10 game run up ro prepare for the playoffs ...and win them , its could prove the correct thing to do.  The board clearly dont trust Moore to negotiate them through a playoff situation.   Theyve just done what we did when we replaced Adams with Neil...just 2 months later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 10, 2019 Apparently Jokanovic is the frontrunner for the job. Ranieri has just got the Roma job. It just seems that the same merry go round will inevitably prevent new managers/coaches like DF and Alex Neill coming into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funnily enough, I just thought that it would be a great job for AN, who has once again shown that he is a good manager at PNE! (And has at last shown that he has learnt how to keep a clean sheet!)

I am firmly in favour of a DOF model with a longer-view look at purchases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PNE/AN just missed out on the play-offs last season and I reckon there's a good chance they'll be there or thereabouts again in 10 games time  Edited March 12, 2019 by Drazen Muzinic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
