STEVE MORISON SACKED

[J R Hartley]

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

👏 👏 👏

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.

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!

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.

Same.

Why are you surprised?

[John Buchanan]

WOL headlines "Buchanan gets morrison fired"

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

Followed by "Buchanan appointed new City manager" when asked about his tactical priorities, "35 yard free kick screamers is the obvious way to the PL".

There was every chance Morison wouldn’t last the season as a young and inexperienced manager in a pressure cooker. But the timing here is crazy.

Or a response to an incident of misconduct? Or because the Board have been negotiating with a successor and all the dots have just lined up?

I’ll go with crazy.

Hartlepool have just this minute sacked Paul Hartley. Just saying...

[Bobby Dandruff]

Blimey!

Seems harsh.

What are the club’s expectations at this point in time seeing as he has pretty much executed on their plans, as they state in the press release?

He clearly needed at least a bit of time.

We deserve to be told WHY he has been sacked at the very least.

[Ninja]

Who do you think will realistically want to come here - we are a complete mind fxxk at the moment

So come on then name someone you want who will come here

Not my job to do so obviously!
If I was the owner, he'd be gone, I don't think anyone can argue that we've largely been abysmal. If you invest millions into a club, you expect better. Simple as that really.

Warnock and Pulis amongst the favourites with Skybet.

I was wondering if wed done this to get Huddersfields target which is probably Wagner but hes 25-1.

The list of those in the betting is underwhelming to say the least.

What a mess.

If they have lined up a manager it will be the first time the club have been on the front foot for years then as it always seems to be erratic knee jerk decision making from tan and Co

I agree. Either theyve someone lined up who is too good to miss out on , somethings happened we dont know about or the board are just feckin clueless. I know what my money is on.

Colin's coming home again....HOOF!!!

[City123]

Colin's coming home again....HOOF!!!

His kind of people

[Hilts]

Please no not those two.

The 2 ahead of them in the betting are Nathan Jones and Sean Dyche. We arent getting either and both play direct football anyway.

Why is the timing crazy? Our form is crap and we've got a fortnight off for the international window before playing 11 games in 6 weeks until the World Cup.

[Nobody's Rep]

Maybe we have new owners coming in and they wanted their own manager 🤔🤔

[Ninja]

Nice swerve 😂😂

In all seriousness though, I'm just a fan and I can't stomach any more of what Morison is serving up, it's absolutely dire.
To hear him then trying to justify abysmal performances by saying that we actually played well, dominate games etc etc, just makes it even harder to stomach.
Tan's clearly had enough and I can't blame him. Even Hudson would be a better option at this point, at least we might see a shot or two on target.

I like Hudson but I don't think he is a better option and if he is the choice I think that will not take this club forward in any way

[Wales-Bales]

Who sacked him?

[dml1954]

I can only assume they have a replacement in mind.
Let's be honest, as I said yesterday, the players are not as bad as the performances and results suggest.
I think it's the right move. He's failed to utilise what he had and performances have largely been poor. A better manager will do better with this squad.

Saying that performances have been poor just isn't true. Probably spoken by someone who hasn't seen them play. There has been a big improvement in the way the team plays but results haven’t been fully reflective of this. To get rid of him now is just silly.

I agree with you.
