Colkitto Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The thing is if your going after a decent manager who has options, would you go to a club that sacks a manager after 4 league games regardless of what has gone on in the background? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games featured opponents including an amateur team, a non-league team, a league one team, a newly promoted team, a team which played over an hour with ten men and Dundee. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It was fairly obvious all was not well when McGinn high fived Smith when he was finally brought on against Livi - then proceeded to slag off Stubbs' signing policy in the press conference! I have absolutely nothing to back this up but I wonder if the Jamie Vardy academy coaches get some sort of bonus if guys they work with get signed by a league club... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF it's unlikely the new manager will walk in and prioritise bamming everyone up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 58 minutes ago, Silvio said: Basically from the start he's rubbed folk the wrong way. Said the team that coasted the championship wasn't good enough that completely isolated the backbone of the squad. Told Eck and McKenzie to find new clubs about a week into pre season which also pissed off the existing players. Signed some amount of shite. Told Cammy Smith, who won 4 player of the year awards last year, he was free to find a new club. This caused captain McGinn and Stubbs to fall out alledegly. Story that he had also fallen out with the nicest guy on the planet, Tony Fitzpatrick. Story they he also wasn't on speaking terms with our Academy chief Allan McManus. Signed some amount of shite. Is this not the plot of The Damned United? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The barman said, “why the long face?” ”I’ve just realised I’m a shitweasel”, Ray replied. Like the rest of his output, I didn’t find it funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Reckon it was deliberate from AS. Get rid of as many of a league winning team as he could. Sign shite. Alienate everyone. Sign shite. Don’t lalk to the players or directors. Sign Darren Jackson. Tell some of our best players to find new clubs. Total carnage and a year’s wages for 12 weeks work. Smart move. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie88 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It was initially a poor decision by the board to appoint Stubbs on a 3 year deal but fair play to them for acting quickly when they realised their mistake. This will give the place a huge lift! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body language after the defeat to Livingston was more akin to a teenager who's parent had just told them they had to turn the X-Box off and tidy their room, rather than a top flight football manager losing to a close rival. at home It was clear he wasn't happy in the job, neither were the players by the looks of it, and the fans certainly weren't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
