hogesar 9,836 Posted April 29, 2023 The best mate thing is pathetic. Even from you. Hes on a 12 month rolling. If it was some stupid best mate thing he could have given him a 5 year contract. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,899 Posted April 29, 2023 Although I've not been impressed with him so far, I wouldn't want to become a club that starts to sack managers at the drop of a hat. You have to give the guy a proper pre-season to see what he can do with this lot plus his own players. If we aren't going to do that, we might as well have kept bl**dy Smith.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,922 Posted April 29, 2023 I'm usually one of the last to turn against a manager, but I'd rather not see Wagner here for the start of next season. I wasn't terribly enthused by his appointment in the first place and aside from the new manager bounce over the first eight games or so, I haven't seen anything from him to convince me that he's the right man to take us forward. There's little chance of him not being here come August though, so I'll continue to back him and he needs to be given 12-15 games or so next season, but I'd be very surprised if he gets us promoted.

OTBC I agree but it would help if he didn't cause himself such unnecessary problems by being desperate to shove 4 strikers on, even tonight, to completely give up control of the game. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,161 Posted April 29, 2023 Could you imagine the reaction if Wagner was let go at the end of the season and Webber stayed? That would basically be re-affirming that Webber thinks his signings are good enough and it's the head coaches getting it wrong again. I know Wagner hasn't done anything to impress but for me it's 100% down to the players not being good enough, every player is inconsistent, they're all mentally poor or damaged, they're not being capable of gelling as a team and are all on a different wavelength every game. If the players were terrible and the head coaches were terrible we wouldn't be mid table, we'd be near the bottom. So if you think the players are good enough then by all means blame the managers but I just don't see it that way. I would give Wagner the summer, I get the complaints about recent sections and formations but for me it's because we've given up on the play offs and are just giving player game time plus injuries limiting what we can do. I'm not impressed with Wagner but I don't know what literally any coach could do with these players so i find it hard to blame him too much for this mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 667 Posted April 29, 2023 We need a new manager in the summer. Wagner's record at his previous clubs shows we are more likely to be in a relegation fight next season than fighting at the top end of the table. Get rid, and quickly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is a lot of people were so sure Smith was the problem it's come as a bit of a shock (after Wagner's improved start), that perhaps the team has finished exactly where it deserves to. Smith may not have been the right manager for us, but it was clear that he didn't have the right tools for the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mannings bandy legs 401 Posted April 29, 2023 Really feel this one of the weakest,mentally,physically and ability wise,squads we have had for a long,long while. We need such a drastic overhaul,its probably going to take two very good,or three or four average transfer windows to sort the mess out.Not hopeful the present encumbents are capable of that task.

Because if we keep him over the summer we mould a team to his rather unique tactic which, if it fails and he isn’t up to it, leaves us in the doo doo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
