When Lampard took over.

I could not believe those who continued to defend Riza who took us down:

He had just under 200 games under his belt as a manager and massively improved them with the same squad, some achievement. Maybe he has served his apprentiship as a manager rather than a stella footballer.

Riza on the other hand.......

Surprised me, did a great job. Both times we played them, I weren't impressed. Should have beat them away.

But to be fair, they had a much better squad than us.

Were 9th last season and in the FA Cup semi final. In the play-off final the season before, one of the favourites for the top six before this season started.

I don't get why you keep having a go at people for supporting the manager, I was one who tried to support him up until the Luton game but let's try & remember who it is that hires & more importantly fires the managers & it's not the supporters.

Just because people supported him doesn't mean that he would have been their choice & this constant sniping at people like they're the ones who chose the manager or have a difference of opinion to some is just getting out of hand & driving a wedge between us all when we should all be concentrating on the main problems at the club which is the 3 clowns at the top.

Riza is gone, we are in League 1 whether we like it or not...move on :bluebird:

Time to move forward as a fanbase and stop playing hindsight bingo. Riza had a brilliant start but then had a mental breakdown, no one could have predicted that.

So when the same posters argue about everything I put out.

And actually are sarcastic.

Am I not allowed to remind them?

I will say now what I’ve heard and know Ramsey is not the right manager for us next season.

If I am proved wrong will more than happy to get egg on my face, and they will
Including from you as your one of them.

He only cares about playing for Wales.

No mo Simon,

When he was announced as manager he was on a terrible run.

I keep asking you, did you attend the Protests as I never personally saw you at both???

What am I one of? You're going to need to spell this one out.

I agree that he isn't the right manager at the moment for us & that he only cares about playing for Wales but only at the moment until the next world cup & have said so previously, I have also said I thought he should have retired before now.

Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes not. That's life & is how we discuss things but if that's not what you want from people on your message board just say so.

I answered you, no I didn’t attend.

I don’t personally think it’s the right way to get through to Tan because I don’t think he cares. I don’t have any answers as to what the answer is.

I am just making my own personal statement his minds not ready ready for management yet.

I know from coaches his heart is on playing for Wales.

I’ve answered nothing. I boycotted the entire time that we played in red and have done more to try and get Tan out/us changed back to blue than most, as you know. Just because I have decided not to let a megalomaniac in Malaysia affect my life anymore doesn’t make me any less of a fan.

I’m probably one of the people that Annis refers to here.

However, it wasn’t an ‘argument’ on every post, it was simply a difference of opinion.

Myself along with other posters have stated publically we were wrong with Riza and wanted him gone before he was actually sacked.

At the end of the day, I’m an adult and I’m allowed my own personal opinion.

Tan is to blame, not the supporters.

I find it hard that with his injuries that he should even get in the Wales squad, he doesn't really bring a lot to the party anymore tbh and the last few games he has played for Wales has not really done a lot. A great player previously but remember the last World Cup he was shocking in all three games.

I also agree he should not be the next manager, we really need someone with experience who knows this League and how to get out of it (NOT WARNOCK EITHER), problem being as others have mentioned, if VT doesnt back it, we are doomed. :bluebird:

Lambard had couple hundred games to get it right... had failures before Coventry so hardly good comparison no matter how look it.. risa shouldn't gave got job in 1st place but should have gone after Leeds fo only person to blame is tan for keeping him on.... and riza should have done decent thing and walk after Luton game ..
