STEVE MORISON SACKED

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

We are 3 points off 8th place.
If they have done for this purely footballing reasons, then they really are stupid.
I’m really unhappy about this because it shows that the senior managers are clueless when it comes to long term planning and I fear that we’ll be given a fix-it manager to make sure we stay in this division, reverting to hoofball.
I don’t think we’re in danger of going down, though. Realistically, this was always going to be a season of bedding in and it’s only September!
I was going to buy tickets for the Burnley match, but I’m going to hold off, because if it is hoofball manager, then I’ll hang in to my money.
Club’s a joke, mun. 😠

We play Burnley next, he can have his job interview on the pitchside.

Bellamy is either up to being a manager by now or he isn't

If he wants the job and he ticks the boxes then why not

I don't think it would be too soon, i just don't think that the club would go for him, although i have no evidence to say why they wouldn't, so who knows!

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Well he's been given plenty of grief on yesterday's match thread lads !

So there we go . Decision made .

I'm pretty happy with the decision.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Should have gone after the Swansea debacle.
Imagine having that on your CV.
Charismaless and prickly thought he was Pep.

Getting rid of him after Swansea would have made far more sense than this - an awful lot has happened since then and until an hour ago, I assumed the owner and Board were okay with it.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

This decision has almost totally united the fans. So strange. Got to be more to it. I really hope we don't end up with another hoof ball manager

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I doubt if anyone saw that coming. It is a very odd decision given the manager has had to create a new team from nothing and, although the results haven't been great, at least the football hasn't been too bad. I can't remember a stranger sacking. We are fast becoming clones of Watford.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Something must have happened

This is not a footballing reason surely we were making progress

Well it's been made now so onwards

Apparently so.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I've backed him since he took over but having a think back I reach different conclusions so I'm struggling to find much sympathy for him.
Bar a 45 minute blip at Boro, which he clearly fixed at half time, we've been totally clueless since playing Birmingham at home.
The kids coming through from last season have nearly all been discarded again and while the new style is easier on the eye I couldn't figure out what the actual plan was.
He turned us into chronic time wasters whenever we weren't losing away. We've lost every game we've gone behind in so this team lacks bottle. Also whenever given more than a few days to prepare we lost.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

The right call imo. Didn't think they had it in them to be decisive over his lack of ability showing through and the fact he was a risk this season. That doesn't mean they will get the next appointment right either but something had to be done.

I've never subscribed to the view that he was building a team, I've always felt it was like watching an episode of faking it.

I'd also add this: Rubin Colwill has gone backwards. Robert Page can't be happy with the way Morison has handled the Welsh players bearing in mind Wales are at their first WC since 1958. Compare Harris, Davies and Colwill to other Welsh players at other clubs and the way they are used.

I'm glad to see the back of him.
