Well it is...after 6 games we have the worst stats in points and goal diff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,389 Posted September 26, 2021 3 hours ago, ricardo said: Sacking Farke won't provide us with the DM we don't have nor the Buendia replacement. It's a pointless reaction with more long term negatives than positives. I agree Ricardo, but how many more defeats can he withstand? Defeat at Burnley on Saturday puts enormous pressure on him and the players for Brighton. If we don't get a result there it's Chelsea away and then Leeds. How many more defeats can he take? The board and Webber will have to be incredibly brave to continue backing him and I'm not sure after that if it would be the right thing. In the end, I guess it's whether he still carries the players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new manager will want his own team and players that suits his favoured style. Where’s the money coming from.? Let's not forget that a new manager might actually turn this around and we get another £100m odd of TV money because of it. Farke needs points on the board, fast.

Ok, sorry, I see you said the first 6 games in the first post-thought you had just said the worst start ever. For what it’s worth, I recall that we made the worst start ever after 1 game in League One and still got promoted 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert choice 24 Posted September 27, 2021 Burnley will be out to bully us again and we have even less strength on the pitch now than we had last time. Wouldn't be surprised if a red card or two might come our way if they start falling over. Zero chance of scoring against them so best we pack the defence and try for a 0-0 and a point.

Farke needs points on the board, fast. Fair point Capt. but who would be a better replacement? I would imagine that the a new manager coming in with PL experience of keeping teams up wouldn't fancy this too much unless the money was significant (Alerdyce-esq). Unfortunately we have limited funds due to much discussed business model, no appetite in gambling on the investment needed and are (and I am sorry to say this as a supporter for 50 years) a small team in the PL scope of things with little to attract the big names. Best replacement would be an up and coming lower div coach with nothing to lose and the potential to run what is looking like a relegated team next year. If that's the case then surely DF is a proven Champs winner and would we any better off with someone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Customers who regret their purchases have to live with the consequences: it is part of growing up. They should have read the terms and conditions - their is no guarantee of victory I'm afraid. If you bought the good with with reasonable expectation that there would be, you might have a legal case - but without being a lawyer, I would advise against.

Well, I have posted it here before. Silence , total silence or standing with your back to the playing field when the team takes the field, maybe with a banner. That is one of the most powerful ways to show the ones in the box seats that the end of the line has been reached. I don't want it to get this far , but I think that would be a very powerful way No booing , no rioting , etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
