When have we ever sacked managers after “the first bad spell of results”?

Never.

Not Moyes.

Not Bobby.

Not Koeman....the bad run of results which did for him were a reprise of the dismal autumn results of his first season and which indeed were his stock in trade at Saints.

Not Sam...it wasn’t the results he was fired for.

I have said on a number of occasions now....the reason patience is in such short supply for Silva is because of the sheer predictability of our current travails, based on his track record in England in the twelve months before Watford fired him.

It was a mad appointment and an obsession on Moshiri’s behalf which beggared belief then and which looks even madder now.

Now, I personally would not pull the trigger now. End of season for sure, unless there is a dramatic improvement.

But these fellows calling for his head right now......they are not mugs, they see the writing on the wall and calling for his dismissal sooner rather later is a legitimate enough standpoint even if I personally don’t favour it.

At the moment :)
I'm just sick to death of us sacking manager after manager, I see no point firing him mid season, he should be given the time to show something till the end of the season.

Without a shadow of doubt Moshiri and Brands will evaluate the situation in the summer, Moshiri will be letting Brands run this club now, Brands will have a massive say in all managerial decisions from here on in.
 
I have already stated that continued sacking of managers isn't good. It especially isn't good when our owner has pretty much alluded to the fact he isn't going to be throwing big cash on players (read the AGM minutes)
There's certainly an argument to be made for getting a new manager in mid season to get the feel of the club, size up the squad and then make a decent fist of the transfer window concentrating on our weak areas.

That argument falls flat on it's face where you look at us, we're weak everywhere, our owner has said he won't spend big and what manager would take this poisoned chalice with a squad of players that considering their wages will be difficult to flush.

Our only answer, as painful as it may sound to some is to stick with the man we have. Some point to his previous records in the premiership but if we can hold our nerve and wait it out there's a half decent chance he could turn it around.

I know, I know. You have to try to be optimistic as a blue otherwise you wouldn't ever get out of bed in the morning.

yeah lets wait it out

12 months later we're in the bottom 3

oops a daisy
 
Should still be gone in the summer imo. The 'give him time' shouts just don't sit right with me at all - he's had more than enough time already to show us what's he's all about and it's simply not good enough.

The funny/sad thing about this is LOADS of us called it before he was officially appointed. It's just insane.
 

Yes I think you're right. But that's not what I said is it.?

If he changed results would improve. If he doesn't he'll be gone. Possibly as soon as the next game. I don't know why you're arguing this point with me.

People said it before Wolves at home. People said it before Watford away. The reality is he won’t turn this around the results so far have proven he is not up to the standard.
 
Would be ridiculous to sack him mid season now. We can’t keep firing managers. There’s several players who need to go long before Silva. There’ll be some players gleefully thinking that the manager is close to being fired by the fans again. The board need to make it clear they’ll be shipped out before Silva is.
 
you implied it you divvy

these comments are due to our poor performance which is down to our manager

you stating to just ignore it is just naive and is not a solution

It's banter you fruit loop, you know they type of crap that the cult get taunted for, that United fans got when Mourinho was there, that Arsenal fans got under Wenger and so forth. It's truly embarrassing that a grown ass man doesn't see that and instead has a bitch fit over it
