Crafty Canary 547 Posted December 10, 2023 3 points of the play offs with over half the season remaining is hardly a credible basis for sacking a manager. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,633 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Until the end of the season? I think he’d get a better tune out of the squad than Wagner. Had a mix bag management career to dates, but Bar Stoke, he’s been successful at every other club if not over a sustained period.

So there is statistical data to suggest that having a new manager will provide an upturn in results. Not all manager are the same and not all squads are the same. It’s highly unlikely a squad will react the same to Pep Guardiola as the do with Sam Allerdyce for example.

Different transfer budget to other clubs in the prem. We had the highest wage bill in the championship last year but finished 12th so the expectation given the outlay was way off. Farke’s first season in the prem we were 20th in wage budget and finished 20th so it’s to be expected. I don’t feel we are getting value for money from a squad that averages over 30k a week each per player. Perhaps under a new manager they may get their moneys worth from them perhaps they won’t. That is the gamble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. I, as any professional would, would be embarrassed at the current level of quality for what I was being paid. (EDIT: For clarity, I am not a professional football player. My thought here is more acting and performing as a professional in any profession.) I don’t give a crap if the strategy is off, the tactics are wrong, fitness is off, too many games in a short span of time, subs didn’t work out, etc…. Heck, I’ll even accept the lack of passion because there’s a falling out with style of play or being played out of position. But, all of that does not excuse the inability to simply pass and possess a ball competently. That is fundamental to what the players are being paid for. If I was the SD I’d tell the players that unless performances begin to improve, then their wages will begin to be docked for poor performances. They are paid to do a job, that they are simply not doing. The players need to own the portion of responsibility that falls clear on their shoulders and be held accountable when they’re not, just like any other job.

Crafty Canary 547 Posted December 10, 2023 Unless their contracts have a clause to allow docking of wages for poor performance the club would face breach of contract law suits. Furthermore the precise aspects of poor performance would need to be precisely defined to stand up in court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
