O'Dea - Reason For Our Downfall?

[Londonlisa2001]

Didn't he join in the summer, which was precisely when things went to shite after Sheehan last season?

Things went downhill when we mistook the impact of an on loan midfielder for managerial achievement.

Odea is becoming a very convenient scapegoat. The stories being pushed the week before Sheehan was sacked that suggested he was the problem felt like cover for Sheehan and now people think he was a corrupting force. The whole coaching group did not do well and the buck stops with the head coach. It also goes back to the overemphasis the club and the fanbase put on the performances at the end of last season. They were good but they were not free flowing and dominant attacking performances and styles that Odea came in and singlehandedly ruined. This week would have been very tough for him, like Sheehan, even if it turns out he is a hopeless coach he goes with my best wishes and thanks for the work he put in.

No doubt it was difficult for him. And the club has had issues before his arrival. But he was in the passenger seat alongside other staff. It's not exceptable in anyway for the team to lose the way we have been irrelevant of how nice someone is or what he has put in. As I said in my opinion he has added more salt to a wound that was already opened before his arrival.

He joined before Pre Season.

My mistake, I thought his appointment was delayed, for some reason.

It started to go wrong when montague left … maybe he was the brains behind the outfit

He may be facing at least another eighteen months in League Two. Knowing our luck, every single player we signed and staff member we hired over the last 12 months will turn out to be complete duds. We will find out the Kitchen staff failed their hygiene rating and the secretary can not use excel.

It is pointless speculating how much negative influence O Dea has had because there are so many other variables involved compared to last season.

That said, it certainly won't harm us when we get shot of him and Stearman early next week because they are both tainted by association by what has happened this season.

Personally I'd get rid of O Leary as well, I don't see what he offers. Only one I'd keep is Marge because he's a specialist coach, and one of the best around. Would seem silly to turf him out.

Of all the coaches Matos hired at Maritimo the only one confirmed not coming to us so far is the goalkeeping coach which suggests Margetson will be staying thankfully.
