What kind of club let’s a manager bring in 2 players then sacks him.
What kind of club takes a cheaper option in a manager over extra money and ambition.
We don’t own our own training facilities.
We don’t have a style of play.
We have a stale team. If it is true that the board run the squad then why haven’t they moved players out. No one has a more stale squad than us. We have 3 players that put heart and soul into every game - Moore, Mozza and Smithies.
To further prove we have have a piss poor board I bet we hire a manager to get us through the season then end up giving him a chance in July then sacking him in the autumn.
If we had ambition we’d hire a good strong manager now and give him 2 seasons. That squad is shite. If anyone disagrees then your clearly not of a football mind.
I bet managers take one look at the last 10 years and either demand big money or just laugh at us.
This season was the first season in 11 years I’ve not paid for a season ticket and thank f**k I didn’t!

Plenty of clubs bring in players and then fire managers - maybe not so quickly. People want a DoF but those roles tend to focus on identifying and bringing in players to provide to the manager, based on a style and that seems to have been the case here. The managers job is to coach the team and get them playing - Harris couldn’t do that. The board have supplied players like Wilson, Moore, Ojo...they are more than decent by this standard.
By the way, they have moved plenty of players out!
Cheaper manager - plenty of clubs do. It’s football economics. I didn’t want NH, but we’re you complaining when they hired Warnock.
Plan - they tried it with Trollope, Ole and with Harris. In all instances they talked about a philosophy. It didn’t work with either - maybe because they appointed the wrong person, maybe that we all have impatience.
We are hardly a laughing stock over the last 10 years - always challenging for the play offs, 1 cup final and 2 promotions. Yes they were followed by relegations but we have fared better than most clubs in that time.
Are the board perfect - of course not, but I’m not sure how much more they could have done this season to provide a squad capable of competing. Yes we are short in a couple of positions, but Harris should have been able to have done much more with this team.

When a club changes its colours then reverts back a season later you become a laughing stock.
How we handled Sala was the tipping point.
Giving a manager money to spend then sacking him!!? Hardly makes us look professional!
How you can defend their actions I don’t know.
We have had a poor style of football since Dave Jones. Let’s not pretend it’s anything better than average.
I’m agreeing with Blakey, Gabbidon and Perry. Our team is shocking. Players who don’t want to play and dead wood!!
If we hire Pearson I’d love to be a fly on the wall and listen to that hair dryer treatment!

Hang on - are we are laughing stock because of the football style or because of the kit...which happens almost a decade ago and has long been reversed.
As for Sala - it’s shocking that you would take a tragedy like that and use it to throw rocks and say that turns this club into a laughing stock. I assume that you’re a legal expert, so what would you have done differently to the lawyers that have been advising the club so far?
As for letting him sign players - would you have waited another 6 games to sack Harris? We signed a RB as we didn’t have anyone in that position and a young kid who could be a great investment. Plenty of clubs sack managers within weeks of transfer windows closing.
Yes our team is shocking at the moment and especially midfield - but many of these players got promoted under Warnock and players that we have got in are more than proven at this level of above.
Again, my view is the turgid season so far sits firmly with Harris who had no football credentials to get the job in the first place and displayed absolutely zero leadership capability. Now what I do blame the board for is hiring him in the first place!

Of course you have the right to ‘bash’ the club, but there should be some balance.
You seem to be basing your opinion though on ex pros who have never even run a club or been managers.
And as for Nantes - so because other fans and pundits were saying it was bad then the money should just have been paid. Of course it is bad - 2 men died. Nothing like that situation has ever happened before so other clubs and media have no precedent to work from or sit on their high horse about.
There is a man who has been charged with a criminal offence and questions on the legality of the transfer - would you really want the club to pay money if they aren’t obliged to?

Top post fella!! This guy does nothing but throw stones at the hierarchy at any opportunity. The very fact he used the poor sala tragedy as leverage,when there are criminal proceedings taking place,speaks volumes to me.
