Ole has to go for me.

Sun May 04, 2014 9:36 am

I have seen nothing from Ole to convince me he is the right man for our club. Four months isn't a long time thats for sure, but I have not seen one element of his management from a fans viewpoint that has heartened me. Behind the scenes turmoil isn't that rare in modern football and other managers have done well in the past with lesser and thinner squads with such circumstances, and you have to say, though I wasn't his biggest fan of his style of play or transfer dealings, Malky Mackay was one of them.

Tony Pulis had five months to lift a far less expensive and talented Palace side which was on its arse up to dizzy heights in the Premier League, Poyet has had six months, again with a poor squad and turned it around.

Taking Frazier Campbell off yesterday when we need to score? Bringing on Wolf Ekerim for his second appearance in 4 months with minutes to go? Sticking with out of form players like Kim, constant tinkering with shape and tactics, spending decent money on poor signings in January. Not playing Bellamy from the start, bringing Cowie and Gunnarson in and out, we desperately needed a decent midfielder and striker in January with decent English league experience and fight. Daeli is the only positive I can think of so far from Ole.

I hope if he stays, he proves me wrong, as I do like the man. My hunch is not in his favour, however, more worrying to me is that I am struggling to think of a suitable successor, managers currently out of work are out of work for a reason.

Does that include Malky, fella? :?

Not ALL managers are "out of work" because they are not good enough ;) :ayatollah:

I think ole is the right person at the right time now !
When he took Over he wasn't unfortunately , we needed experience of relegation battles back then.

If he left I would want di matteo but doubt he would drop down to championship

Dave Jones. He's proven at Championship level. He'll take us to the playoffs, we'll get our day out at Wembley and then we'll lose but at least its not relegation again as will probably happen with Ole. No offence but his interview yesterday was laughable ' they didn't deserve to lose' - I've seen park teams that would have played that team off the pitch yesterday.

I'd get rid as well and appoint Warnock a safe pair of hands for the championship. Whether he'd come here and work with tan is another matter.

No, my precursor to that was malky in my post, so your right Malky is an exception. What I did this morning was look at a list of available suitable championship managers, and no doubt I may have overlooked some, but all of them I came up with were poor in their last job, some of them their last two or three, Mcleish, Adkins, Holloway, Coyle, Mclaren, Coterill, O Driscoll etc . RDM won't come thats for sure, maybe we would have to lure someone like Strachan, Howe or Derek McIness (yes I do know he was a wurzels sacking, but Fergie couldn't have saved that lot). But even those really don't get me buzzing, so I stand by my statement.

And in all likelihood Ole stays, hope he proves me wrong, but he and his back room staff have a hell of a lot to learn.

:shock: But of course as previously mentioned, who would want to manage us after the pantomime exposure we have had this season. Tan as your boss? :shock:

we had some very good chances to score tbh........and Pardew had settled for a 1 nil win........gunner and KJ really should have scored........

I completely agree. The results since he's taken over have been abysmal. To outspend the two teams that came up with you and then concede 7 goals and score zero goals in two home performances against them is downright f*cking awful. We went backwards very quickly under OGS, I don't think I've ever seen a team look so toothless in attack ad clueless in defense as Cardiff under OGS.

If you can score thirty goals in the championship then he certainly has to go for you.
But ive just looked you up on fifa and quite frankly i find it unlikely.
