The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 11, 2006 Once again I''ve heard that Worthington can''t manage because he used to be a defender. If you look at the current crop of managers Tony Mowbray at Hibs, Stuart Pearce at Man City, Alan Curbishley and Stan Alladyce all played in defensive rolls. Most of the above would i assume be welcome in place by those who want Worthington gone.( Mowbray may not be made welcome?) So it''s not a reasonable arguement to keep saying he was a defender. All the best managers build from the back. So are negative in there approach? If you want to get rid of Worthington then that''s your perrogative but don''t base it on the fact he was a defender.

Norfolk Dan 308 Posted February 12, 2006 the point is that he manages like a defender. Unfortunatly his ability to see what is wrong and fixing it has now taken its toll. All i want is to watch a game of football. We could loose every week, but if we were playing good attractive football I would be happy. So much has been wrong for so long even in our promotion season things were wrong, the thing is they still are!! He never fixes anything and his solution.. loan/buy another striker! Don''t fix the midfield!! Oh... PLEASE LEAVE WORTHY BEFORE WE FORGET THE GOOD TIMES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 12, 2006 [quote user="Rudolph Hucker"]Drinks, are you an Igor?[/quote]Not sure what an Igor is RH. All i''m saying is that there maybe reasons for changing the manager but the fact he''s a defender isn''t one of them and it takes up valid air time on the radio.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 12, 2006 No, no Drinks...the clue is in the title....it is just in the way Igor''s talk. Still, I recommend Pratchett if you have an imagination and like a little parody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] Johnny I am assuming he has just developed these faults cos 2 years ago I didn''t see anybody critising him at the city hall? I may accept he has taken the club as far as he can and maybe fresh blood is needed but IMO the problem may be deeper than that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted February 13, 2006 like many managers he has a level of ability, altho doing well previously he has subsequently taken us back as his deficiancies have come to the fore... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Boubepo 0 Posted February 13, 2006 I don''t believe he has just developed these faults, he has had them from day one, they were just disguised for 18 months while the supporters, the Club and team rode a lucky wave, that lucky wave, energy and momentum started with the arrival of Hux [who came because of his impressions of Norfolk, the City, the Club and a safe area to bring up his Children] for 18 months it was easy to forget we had an inept manager and yes for 30 mins at City Hall back in 2004 I almost forgot too.
