Being a good communicator is 1000%, something you need to be a good football manager. It's obviously not the be-all and end all, but it's more important than you think. This is the guy whose job it is to ultimately inspire thousands of people to follow his team every single week. If you are a...

At the end of the day the buck stops with Sheehan he is the main man, there is no need to make excuses on his behalf. This whole thread is pure speculation with the support of 0 evidence. We could also speculate that the reason Sheehan is doing terribly is because he isn't listening to O'Dea...

9/2 is better then I expected. All of our underlying numbers and performances have us comfortably in the bottom 3 even behind Sheff wed in a lot of cases.

How can we be expected to fill every single hole the squad had in one window? It's just not possible. The managers job in the meantime is too show with his performances and methods to the fans/ hierarchy that if those holes were filled he is capable of taking the squad somewhere. He...

We still get Russell martin threads 2 years after he left i wouldn't bank on it

Ofcourse not but when there's a chance you can get relegated by holding onto them then the decision is easy. This thing that they can't/won't incur the costs to sack him is purely nonsense tbh i wouldn't believe it. They almost certainly won't buy a manager out of a contract though if they do...

How does a squad from 3 years ago have anything to do with today? Preston were 90minutes away from relegation last season and Charlton weren't even in the same division than us. I really dont think its outrageous to say our squad is better then theirs. If you're genuinely happy to be sat...

I am a bit worried that if we do sack him in the international break, we will have to potentially compete with Southampton, Norwich, Middlesbrough, and Leicester for a manager. It took us months to find a manager the last 2 times, and that was when there was 0 competition. Now we'll have to...

I don't class Eom, Ronald and Cullen as starters that's just a case of a manager being out of his depth and desperate enough to chuck anybody in to see what works. I really not sure why you keep mentioning this point about watching them religiously? I think anybody who has a basic grasp of...

Are you sure he was talking about Montague? I thought he was talking about Coleman instead which would be correct.

Could make a case for James Bree RB from Charlton (on loan from Saints though so not sure that counts) and Dobbin No10 from Preston (on loan from either Villa/Everton I believe same thing applies) besides that I wouldn't take a single one in the starting 11.

Don't think a single Charlton or Preston player gets into our team and they are 4th and 6th. Even if you think we are a mid table team (I disagree) we are not even performing to a mediocre level under this manager. We are the worst offensive team in the league and defensively we are lower mid...

Think we walk away from every game this season and say to ourselves 'wow we were lucky not to concede more then we did today' if I'm being brutally honest. That is not the sign of a good defensive structure. Just because we don't concede goals from passing out from the back doesn't mean we look...

Yep very much reminds me of that crazy defensive run we had with Luke at the start of last season. Its going to collapse at one point and we can't really complain because all of the stats and performances have indicted exactly that.

Completley disagree if anything I'm surprised at just how poor we are defensively under Sheehan especially considering that he focuses on that side of the game more. If it wasnt for vigs pulling out a worldie save or 2 ever game and a few last ditch block/tackles from cabango then we could have...

With him going to Afcon in a month or so think it's best for everyone if we cancel the loan in janaury and sign a proper Rw.

Exactly what I'm worried about last 2 times we we're looking for a manager it took us literally months. Remember we are only in this mess because they had no backup plan and couldn't find a manager quick enough.

We could have very easily walked out of the Leicester and Southampton game having conceded 10 goals (really wish this was an exaggeration) if it wasnt for some extreme luck and good goalkeeping. If that isn't a question of how many we'd concede that idk what is.

90minutes in the cup games against 2 teams battling relegation in lg1 and lg2 where he looked completely out of his depth and the substitute appearances in the league where he also looked like a headless chicken. Another Kukharevych situation where people call for a player to play who clearly...

Hes awful. if these numbers are even remotely true heads have to roll behind the scenes simple as that.
