Gary Bowyer - when do we judge?

The only reason Town 'should' have done that, is because sometimes people are unable to remember or accept the context of the initial appointment. But any strong leader of any good company or football club is surely going to be able to ignore the weight of any criticism from fans who can't or won't understand the situation.

So, with all respect, I think Town fans should have been ignored entirely - just as anyone saying Bowyer is under real pressure should be ignored until the likely outcome of this season can be more accurately predicted.

 

It's okay saying "results business", but actually all businesses aren't run in identical manners.

The Town chairman thought like you did; that does not mean Rupp and Rhodes do.

Are you genuinely saying you believe Rupp and Rhodes will fire Bowyer after, say, 5 games?

 

Aye, that went well. He came in and assessed the squad and thought it appropriate to ignore ANY work on the piss-poor midfield. No, actually he went one better than that, after assessing his squad...... he gave new contracts to 3 of those midfielders....!!!!!!

 

Have I missed the window shutting?

 

Fine, so you think they will fire him in the next 3 matches?

 

Because I'm asking if you think he will be sacked in the next 3 games.

If you like you can rephrase it as "do you think he will be sacked by game 17", but it literally makes no difference.

I'm just asking, will he be gone very soon in your opinion?

I'm not trying to trip you up, I'm just curious - because I think even if we DON'T win any of our next three games, there is no chance Bowyer gets sacked.

 

Well let's hope that decision doesn't need to be made.

But I would hope if we win 2 or 3 out of the next 3 games that you won't still hark back to a time where Eoin Doyle was our only striker, we had only 1 winger, and Anthony O'Connor was arguably our best centre back, because that would ruin any manager's win percentage.

 

No, but the season has started and his midfield is no stronger now than when he took over. How that area of the field wasn’t a priority god only knows..!

 

You are pulling people up on talking about 3 matches, being a bit pedantic I think it's wrong to quote 14 games. His record should be from when he signed his contract extension. At that point he's deemed to be the right man for the job and if we are to start judging him it should be from then. So you can knock about 5 matches off your 14-15.

 

We shipped goals for fun last season. Whenever any sort or pressure was on we let a goal in. Defence had to be number one priority and rightfully has been sorted by the looks of it.

Strikers then we only had Doyle on the books who clearly wasn’t his number one choice. So we got players in there quickly.

We have a limited budget. Mcburnie money or none. He said it will take him a few windows to get his own squad. It’s not fifa where a few buttons are pressed and you’ve got your signings

 

If we appoint a manager we have to trust his judgement. Otherwise we might aswell have kept Rahic and let him dictate who we sign.

Can’t have it both ways

 

Add to that AOC and itll be like a clean slate

 

The problem we have got is we can't afford to sack Bowyer due to not having any money it didn't matter to Huddersfield.
