He?s gone

I'm glad he's gone today as leaving it any longer would just prolong the agony.
Never does he blame himself it's always the players but he is there to instill the belief and it's clearly failed.
listening to his after match reports in the last month has been tiresome.
The backroom staff also need clearing out and once the loan players have departed, the out of contract players have left and sold a few players for some funds we can try to start again.
Its been ****.

Blanked out the word that should read s.h.i.t.

I can see we have not progressed for years as a result of seeking success. A bit like the seals years back when we laughed them.

Who?s laughing now.

Nobody really knows what goes on behind the scenes, but there are rumours about 4 players being the dressing room bullies, i think we all have an idea who these are.
I Agree totally with Al's comments, maybe time for him just to relax and enjoy life after a terrible illness

Let’s hope the Club will also address the return of ‘player power’ and reprimand those driving it !

I am honestly thinking of throwing our four season tickets for next season back at the club.

I am absolutely disappointed in the shortsightedness of this club. I will not say much more because I am seriously naft off with the short sighted vision of this club.

I would agree with you if there were any signs of things being better next season. There arent.

Awful form, not playing well, bad tactical decisions and now he has lost the dressing room. His tenure generally could not have gone worse.

He had to go.

No surprise. Fresh start for the new season. Weve got a decent squad just need some additions and a manager with a clue and some oomph.

Hopefully Boingy. How long it will stay fresh before the out, out brigade start shouting is a matter to be seen.

Just for once could we not give a manager a chance.

It?s actually the owners of WBA FC that hire and fire managers not the supporters, we can shout and moan all we want on these boards to vent our anger etc but ultimately it means nothing, Mr Patel and co will do what?s best for the club

Players rule. Well done to all those who have what they wished for. Careful what you wish for. We did the same to Big Dave. We do it again.

God help us.

I'm not saying that player power does not exist OB, nor that some of the comments posted by 79 on another forum which Soulman gave a link to don't hold any truth but it is down to the manager to deal with.

Any manager, in any field, who primarily gets results through the management of people at some point comes across established members of staff who think they are better than they are and who wield an unhealthy influence over others. Difficult as this can be, if you are not strong enough to deal with such individuals then you are not an effective manager. If you cannot turn them around and prevent their disruptive behaviour then ultimately it is bye-bye. In the case of football players then get the support of the board and don't play them if you can't get rid.

If you are universally disliked as a manager, chances are you are doing something wrong but if you can demonstrate that you know what you are doing, treat people fairly, listen to their opinions but are firm and make reasonable demands then you should be at least respected if not necessarily liked-unless you are part of the problem.
