Certainly possible I’d say - the more I think about it, the more it seems it has to be something like that.

He's volatile, almost a bit spoilt at times. I would not be surprised if there has been some inappropriate language or fisticuffs.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Question is who will be Mark Hudson's number two, AKA our next manager

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

You don’t give the manager the nod to bring in SEVENTEEN new players, make money no one thought we had available to him to spend on transfer deadline day and implement a completely new way of playing and then sack him less than two months into the season - it’s ridiculous. The only way this decision makes any sense is if something has gone on behind the scenes or we’ve got someone who will represent a big step forward by the club poised to come in - as the second option seems pie in the sky under this lot, we’re left with number one and if it is that, the club owe it the fans to at least hint that something along those lines has taken place.

The club is a madhouse Bob. Has been for ages. They have done all of the things you've highlighted and more. They should never have appointed him in the first place. I understand the anger but it doesn't make it the wrong decision, it just highlights our club board are a f*cking joke and have been for a long time. Two promotions to the biggest league in the world blown and look where we've ended up. I think it's the board that's the problem. Morison was given a massive chance and wasn't up to the job for all kinds of reasons. That's on the board. They've done something about it at least.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I'm pretty happy with the decision.

I'm slightly bemused by the reaction on here. Our results have been on a downward trajectory since we beat Birmingham and we've played well for about 45 minutes in our last four games. I'm just disappointed that we haven't also got rid of Hudson and Ramasut.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

The youth hasn’t been good enough

Youth won’t automatically come good

They were no worse than any other players last season (often better) and have been moved out of the side. One easy example is Bagan, what has he done wrong to be behind the comedy player that is Nkonkou? Another is Denham who impressed when given opportunity, why is he now 5th choice behind another comedy player in Nelson?

He persisted with the likes of Vaulks and Pack despite knowing he wouldn't be using them even when we were safe rather than give Bowen (who had impressed) or King a real run in the team. Colwill has not had a run in the team under him despite being impressive when he's given proper opportunity. Connolly and McGuinness have both been moved on despite one looking good on loan and the other being fine in our first team. Poor players were given chances consistently ahead of promising younger players and in spite of this I'm still seeing him lauded elsewhere for bringing through the young players?

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I reckon that he's chinned one of the players

It's been no secret we've joked about his 'personality' for a while so yeah, this is definitely a possibility!

That only Morison is gone and not his coaching staff suggests that may be a possibility

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Blimey, I only questioned his tactical approach. Sorry Steve.

Jokes aside, the sacking and the timing of it is facking comical, though no in the humorous sense.

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.

Totally agree, and yesterday was just awful.
Whereas it has been good to see people putting a positive slant on things, we have been dreadful so far this season - with one or two very short exceptions - clueless and shapeless. Yes, he's changed the style, and yes, he's recruited a new side, but we are still very poor, can't score goals, and what's more, the youngsters aren't even getting a look-in. What must Bagan think, for example, when Nkounkou gets picked in front of him? And why change the Harris-Robinson front two, after it had worked so well?
But apart from that, he's had plenty of opportunity to show he could mould a side, and push us on, and instead, all he's shown us is that he was promoted well beyond his abilities.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

As am I

Bombed out promising youth players, brought in a bunch of bang average journeymen and played conservative football that saw us create next to nothing. The way people are going on on Twitter you'd think we've sacked Pep!

I always got the impression it was just a matter of time with Morison, I didn't see him lasting the season and though I'm surprised he's gone this early, I'm not particularly disappointed

It’s all about timing though and this is ludicrous. As mentioned earlier in the thread, they could have sacked Morison after the Swansea humiliation and I don’t think many would have been too upset at that. Instead, in what seems like a huge declaration of faith in him, they allow him to undertake the enormous rebuilding job that was needed this summer almost single handed, then hand him £1.5 million no one thought we had to spend on the final day of the transfer window less than three weeks ago - madness!
