Agree on the tactics.. Not good enough and a bit puzzling really.

Well that’s the problem, isn’t it?

The board are a nightmare, and rightly deserve all the negatives coming their way.

But ultimately, a managers job is to win games, and if he keeps doing the same things every week and not getting wins, and not showing willingness to change, he’s got to go?

Think some blues need to swallow their pride over the constant sacking and accept that, he came in steadied the ship, but he’s just not good enough, and it’s not on anyway, it just hasn’t worked out.
 
he didn't have much choice, he would not have wanted Maupay or Dwight would he. We had a list of lesser players available and he needed to fill the squad. He was stuck.

"Get me Ellis Simms! There's a spot on this bench needs warming!"

He had 2 strikers on the bench saturday and didn't use either of them. It's like he wants to get fired.

Steadied the ship?

We got a win v Brentford in the cup and that was it, everything after was just a grind out the football was terrible he's been awful and nothings changed since he came in imo

We just happened to actually stay up cause there was teams far worse than us

He wasn’t Benitez. That’s pretty much all the steadying which was required.

He’s worse than Benitez, for the record. But Benitez was just the final nail in the coffin for me with the board.
 
I’m not a fan of Nuno but I think I saw a graphic someone posted that he’s had over a 40% win rate at every club he’s been at. What we’d give for that now.
 
Nuno would honestly be worse than Dyche

I don’t want Dyche short term and certainly not long term but he’d probably keep us up whereas Nuno has a weird way of playing which he doesn’t seem to budge on and we don’t have time to mess around learning anything other than the basics again right now to get out of this relegation battle
Agree. My biggest objection to Nuno is that he's got the personality and grandeur of a traffic cone.

I am all for stability - but only when you appoint the best man for the job - or at least somebody with a proven record you can fall back on when you need to justify persevering with him when times, inevitably, get tough.

What amazed me was how fundamentalist many were about Lampard. He had no record to speak of. It was no suprise people lost confidence - if they ever had it to start with - that he was worth holding on to when results dived off a cliff. At times, on here, it was like eavesdropping on the Frank Lampard Job Preservation Society.

In the end, the club needs to sort out its recruitment: and that starts with managers.
