STEVE MORISON SACKED

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

the timing of it is very strange.

if you want to change manager then we could surely find someone in the background and then get rid of Morison when we have someone in place.
what was the point of sacking him now when we clearly have no idea of where we want to go next?

I fear for this next appointment

International window, all the players will be on holiday this week. In that respect, it looks like the perfect timing.

We're pretty much playing Saturday/Tuesday from October to mid November. There's no point getting a new manager in once we get started, they won't be able to get on the training ground.

From the other board - so now we know why

"I was told just now: Tan had not planned to get rid of Morison, there was heated discussions at h-t and full-time, then after the game Morison walked as he was given the nod that his time was up after the heated exchanges with Tan.

So I believe there will be NO compensation for Morison.

So there was no one lined up"

You wouldn’t sack someone for heated exchanges or walk without compensation either.

Warnock’s heated exchanges were well known especially that one at Sheffield United involving Chris Morgan

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Colchester United U23's is where Morison will end up if he's lucky
He had the opportunity here to succeed and was backed with the players he wanted, unfortunately he just wasn't up to the job
At least he won't be lonely as he has his over inflated ego to keep him company and a long time to reflect on his man management skills (or lack of allegedly)

Perhaps his mate will give him a job at Gillingham.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Which U23 guy? Have we any U23 players capable of making the step up to manager? The Other Bob Wilson regularly watches the under 21s, he can probably tell us which player is most suited to becoming our new manager

I'm in mourning, it's a difficult time. Anyway, it's not the worst idea in the history of our club!

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I've loved your posts on Morison, and i mean that, genuine. I have some of the same feelings towards him.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, theres a very good chance

It's a duck😜

Personally I think we have recruited some decent signings, obviously some won't work out, that's football, but generally football fans aren't stupid and can see through the crap
I've been consistent with my view that Morison isn't suited to the role as a number one at a football club , and for anyone who believes he should have been given more time, I'd say this

Have a look in 6 months time and see where he's employed, because it certainly won't be as a manager or coach in the football league!!

He has had the best opportunity he will ever have and he just isn't up to the job imho

You need to carry everyone with you, when you embark on a change of direction, and he just couldn't do that.

I've seen us lose more games than we have won, but some of the excuses and bollicks served up has been truly amazing

Morison has failed to grab the bull by the horns and get everyone on side, his continuous use of Watters as a lone striker was baffling, the 60 odd minute substitutions were predictable and his inability to get the best out of his players resulted in so many games where we failed to register a goal

More of a concern to me was the fact that our young players or future assets were being held back at the expense of another clubs cast offs.

Let's he honest here, has anyone seen anything in Philogene or the lad from Everton that suggested that they were head and shoulders above what we already have, because I haven't???

I hope he finds a job soon after he reflects on his approach and he's in a more suitable position

But he definitely isn't what we need, if we want to make any real progress!
I also hope that who ever comes in, can certainly demonstrate a pride in having the gig, and instill in the team, that local derbies are not just normal games, so it doesn't matter if you perform for the fans or not
That 0 4 performance was the worst i have ever experienced and that Top hat just stood there clueless

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Like almost everyone else oh here, totally gobsmacked by the sacking.
It seems that Tan felt that the season was in danger of being a relegation battle and acted.
Like many others though, there is a feeling that there is more to it than that.
There had been a need for a central striker all season, and though we would have had to settle for journeyman, almost anyone would be better than what we've got. Paterson is a good link up player but not about and out striker. Morison seemed dead set against the journeyman idea.
There are loads of other aspects of his reign which are being talked about. On a personal note I did not take to the man. I suspect behind the scenes there are many like me. Perhaps Tan was one of them.

Who on earth is Paterson ?

In case you haven't noticed, the Swansea game was last season with predominately players that weren't Morison’s and there has been a total rebuild this season and the style of football has changed. Even you have admitted that we have signed some decent players. To constantly harp on about what happened last season in the derby is ridiculous. He did the job he was employed to do and we finished comfortably in mid table. He deserved a chance to carry on the job he had started. Colwill and Davies have both been injured since the end of last season and unable to train or play, so to state they are being ‘held back’ is just plain wrong. You are just trying to appear clever with the benefit of hindsight imo.

I think with respect you are being far too harsh on morison .

He only had the summer to change things around and its not like he was given a war chest is it ?

He's mostly signed free transfers or whatever the term is these days

I think you are probably right that he wasn't the right man for the job but given the vitriol of some supporters I wonder who is ?

As for the local Derby with the jacks we have struggled getting up for that for years and dave Jones once said it was just another game did he not ?

Who do you suggest would be a replacement given they have to work at this football club with its ridiculous expectations and the character of our owner ?
