Not having Bowyer escape without criticism, his selections have been nothing short of appalling, get Paul Hirst on the phone asap.

 

Rupp is as much to blame. Careless and took his eye off it and it’s costing him big time. Financially for sure.

 

You'll have to find him, Stefan needs a word first.

I was thinking about that and I would guess he plays him for his physicality which neither Payne or Butterfield posses so it makes us too lightweight in midfield to play them together. I think Butterfield did well today but Josh Wright should just go back to where ever he's been hiding the guy is just about on track to take over from Matthew Bates as one of the worst ever players to put the shirt on for us. I also found it strange that people were baying for players to have a crack from ridiculous distances then then Anderson did and it didn't come off some of those people were screaming at him to tell him he's sh*t.

I get why people are not happy with him but three managers haven't bee able to get them going so to blame Bowyer is odd. Did you see the response he got from Blackpool fans says a lot about the guy I think.

 

Every time we went forward they broke and scored or nearly did.

We get you don’t like bowyer but I hope he gets a 2 year deal and I am willing to bet you if he gets a competitive budget next season we will be in the top 10

 

They are not his players. It's Rahics fault. It's Rupps fault. It's the transfer windows fault. It's the fact we've no wide players or midfield creativity to provide service for the forwards.
Simple fact is. 12 yards out, non moving ball, one on one with the goal keeper, time to pick his spot - Doyle can't score. That's his and his fault only.
Yeah there's been gross mismanagement across the board, but the players are all equally to blame.

 

Spot on
Watching the Colchester v Tranmere match was quite an eye opener
They had a modicum of skill they put the effort in and looked like they enjoyed
playing the game
Watching that the current bunch will struggle in L2 people on here say they are championship quality players they are nowhere near the quality of the players just in that one match
This bunch irrespective of who the manager would not finish top ten in L2

 

Fordy, Flynn, McCall even Pep would be FAILING with these players. You can’t write the bloke off after a month in charge

Give the manager a break and judge him on next season

 

I don't disagree. Our position was recoverable in January. The window was almost as shambolic as the summer. Probably more so, because the areas we needed to strengthen and the consequences of not doing so were so stark.

 

Call me stupid but I don't think it will end up being too difficult to get rid of the 80% you mention.

Let's start with those out of contract. NKP, Chicksen and Anderson will thankfully be chucked onto the shit pile where they belong and I'd be amazed if they got even a league 2 club next year, although that's not our problem. Jones, Devine, Clarke and Woods also will be gone. Caddis is the only one out of contract worth keeping although I would imagine he'd have league one offers. So he's probably gone too. So that's 8 gone so far.

Then as you rightly say the main issue is with those under contract. O'Donnell I want to keep but he may have a relegation clause like he did with Northampton so he'll probably be off. Then what's left? O'Connor, Riley, Wood, Akpan, Doyle, Scannell, Robinson, Reeves, McCarten, Mellor, Patrick, Gibson and Wright.

Gibson and Patrick I imagine will be gone quite quickly. I don't think they're on a big wedge so it won't be hard to get rid. Robinson if charged will have his contract terminated. 2 maybe 3 more gone.

It might be an unpopular opinion but I'd keep Akpan, Doyle, Scannell, Mellor and Wood. I'd imagine the first three though would see themselves above league 2 level and push for moves. And once a player pushes for a move it normally happens quite quickly, rregardless of money. If they don't and we still have them, you never know with a full preseason and a balanced squad they may be decent. So that could well be another 3 gone.

I think the hardest ones to shift will be O'Connor, Wright, Riley and McCarten. Hopefully Wright is homesick and moves back down south but I'm not holding my breath. Riley will go nowhere on the wage he is on I believe. O'Connor may be another who pushes for a move. I don't think going from Europa League to league 2 in 18 months is appealing to him. McCarten we'll be lumbered with I think. Lincoln wont want him permanently but he may do a job for us in league 2.

So i think that's more than 80% of the shite that we'll be able to get rid of. That may sound fantasy but we managed to get a fee (even if it was nominal) for shite like Poleon, managed to get Crawley to take over Vincelot's contract, Hamilton to take over Killa's (wrong decision but a high earner off the books), and got rid of Brunker to a side who probably don't pay their whole squad what he was on a week at city. I think it's possible.

 

Bit harsh on Chicksen and NKP that......





Nah, just kidding.

 

Not harsh enough on most of this collection of sh!€

 

Is there any option to sue Rahic for gross misconduct & mismanagement?

 

The whole club needs dismantling from the structure to the management to the pathetic excuse for a playing squad and rebuilding from scratch. As it is this is beyond repair

 

Who’s Sue Rahic?
