I'm too young to know what he was like as a player, but as a manager his teams have always left everything on the pitch. He's clearly fuming by some of the performances we are serving up at the moment. He's one of the few at the club that appears to care about football (or at least his own pride), as well as money.
Some of these players on the other hand...
Laughing and joking after 3,4,5 goal thrashings...
They couldn't care less. They'll be handing in their transfer requests come the summer if anyone is daft enough to want them. They would move for 1p extra cash. Useless tossers couldn't even perform well enough to salvage some self pride against League 1 opponents.
As each game passes, I'm getting more and more inclined to back a complete reset of the club in the summer. Selling all the flashy players and rebuilding with lads who wear their heart of the sleeve. At this point, ability goes out of the window and I simply want to watch a team that are relatable, a team that care. I'd take a Sean Flynn over a Filip Krovinovic and a Danny Dichio over a Ken Zohore any day of the week.
I’m feeling the same. I’ve given up on this season; we will be relegated and we’ll deserve it. What we cannot do is keep this same bunch next season, hoping they’ll get us promoted as it’s just perpetuating the problem. As you say, Slick, we need a reset; that may well mean a few seasons in the Championship - so be it, we’ll survive and, in doing so, we may get our club back. Right now, this is a feckin nightmare, we are an embarrassment...and I hate the EPL anyway
