Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I was going to mention Flynn but I'm worried about Hilts' blood pressure!

.....only joking mate. Still, they're higher up the table than County. Just sayin'

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

interesting times....

Morison by no means perfect, but at least some aspects of the club were starting to move in a better direction.
I do worry about who we might appoint next.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

"Rebuilding the squad" can be broken into different bits.
The easy peasy bit is "getting rid of dead wood" and "cutting the wage bill"; you simply don't renew contracts or you pay people off. You don't need to be a managerial guru to do this and yet he has received a lot of praise for doing so.
The difficult bit is replacing, shaping and motivating. This will be judged on, to a lesser extent (and I am being generous here), performances but ultimately on results. To do this bit, you DO need to be a good manager and he has fallen way short. Subsequently, this and, considering his abysmal lack of anything approaching people skills, was only ever going to end one way. Better now than later in the season when things would probably be even worse.

My point wasn’t that he would definitely have turned things around but that it’s very early to be anywhere near certain either way.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Whether he’s a good manager or not, and the jury is definitely still out there, letting him sign 17 players and completely reshape the squad to play a certain style and then firing him a couple weeks after the window closes is just another sign of a shockingly run club from the top down.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Yes his sacking is a bit of a shock but if you look at it dispassionately you see a manager who consistently tinkers with the line-up, has no natural leaders in the team HE has put together, seems tactically inept and is more concerned with performance over results. Unlike some, his abrasiveness and arrogance didn't concern me but call it a gut feeling if you like, I don't think he was ever the man to take us forward.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Do you think that 10 matches is enough to come to this conclusion when we are currently 3 points off 8th place?

But only 1 point, and with a worse goal difference, than Middlesboro who are 3rd from bottom. Do you honestly think we were ever going to reach the dizzy heights of 8th place under what you have seen this season?

Yep what we need more than anything is new owners….Christ someone even bought Bournemouth the other day. It’s almost like no one will ever buy us because Tan wants his 100 million that Dalman wasted back…..

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Sorry, I’m not gonna read 10 pages.

I’m not a Morison fan but what a totally stupid & ill thought out move. Allow him to convince 17 players to sign and then sack him after less than 10 games, what were they expecting?

Sack the board & the owner!

Somewhere within this 10 pager there’s the exact reason he got fired, including an hour by hour timeline of what happened today. Not telling you which page though

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

There needs to be an urgent forum with the fans, so hopefully our senior management will haul their 4rses up from London or Monaco and tell us what the heck is going on.

There has and never will be fan consultation.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

You may have a point , he doesn't suffer fools .. perhaps he was questioned by owner or board and he simply said I can't build with no fecking money or backing... done what's asked of me cleared out the overpaid dross and now ?? I need backing ..

Delmbox....'This screams massive argument behind the scenes, so no way have we got someone lined up'

Tuerto......I reckon that he's chinned one of the players

The consenus appears to be that this is a really stupid by the Board given they backed him for wholesale change of players and style; less popular is that it's time he went, the signs were there since the Birmingham game or otherwise a version of the above opinions which I tend to feel is correct since there's been no obvious signs of discontent that we could see and the club's statement contains no word of thanks from Vincent Tan.

Is this all about, or the last straw... Rubin Colwill? Did the club have decent offers in the summer (turned down on manager's advice) but now he's given no game time? I guess we'll know soon enough.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

WOL reckon it was just because Tan was worried about getting into a relegation fight.
Also suggesting that Hudson will be given a chance to prove himself worthy of the job full time. Hope not. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...steve-25048877

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Words fail. This club is a basket case, a laughing stock. At least I've saved a few £ not going to the last two away matches which has already been put to better use (flights to Portugal).

I always think what Abbandonato says is an accurate representation of club thinking, so,
what a depressing read that is - we’ll go for the cheap option again.
