You are telling me I’m stretching it when you then mention Gomes
Dele left as well while we are at it. Go in any Godfrey thread over past few years and it’s full of people wanting him gone and saying he was a waste of money.
Tim looked decent early on until Dyche randomly dropped him. Mangala looked decent as well until Dyche randomly dropped him until he came back in vs wolves and looked good.
What would I do now? Well I wouldn’t have gone into the easiest opening run of games just trying not to lose. I’d have actually gone in to try and win them. (And he does try to just not lose as all his rhetoric is about not losing).
At this very point, I’d be getting rid of him (I’d have got rid of him after his first 6 months personally and said so at the time). For who? I’d argue many managers could do better, but based off my limited knowledge (as I’m not thelwell who works in football and has to know about all the managers) I’d maybe go Carsley on a short term. But any suggestion that there’s no one else out there in world football and no other managers could do more is incredibly disingenuous.
