Most liked posts in thread: Graham Alexander - “There are other issues”

Who keeps picking the managers that pick shit players?

 

Spot on. Even the lack of communication over the last few days and weeks shows Sparks is completely out of depth and that Rupp doesn't care.

They should be outlining what went wrong and how they are going to fix it.

It's crystal clear there's no strategy in place at the club on the footballing side.

I think they are in for a big shock with the season ticket numbers because I can't see more than 6k renewing at this rate and it's very difficult to get people back once they've found something else to do.

 

Grahams erm comments have erm also erm deflected away from erm what we all need to erm know what the fook is your team selection process erm and non existent tactics and detracting any criticism away from erm himself

A puppet of the puppet

Interesting bit,start at 1.06 onwards.

 

We won't ever know. But Cook does strike me as a frustrated figure and you can tell when he isn't happy.

 

I can’t believe that. As a professional you would have to walk away.

 

I think its obvious the players have downed tools, there was unrest between Young and Cook apparently so i can see there being a clique within the dressing room. Like any bad eggs in any business they just need to be jettisoned. The majority of the squad need to be told they can leave, if this is the case GA should just drop the lot and play the kids the under 10s would be better equipped anyway

 

grow up

 

Mark Trueman still tagging along.
No director of football or an ex pro or manager within the recruitment team.
Ryan Sparks I will put money on it is always trying to get his opinions across to the playing side of things.
A poor home pitch.
Players GA doesn't want but are tied to the club on long contracts.
But as many have already said, he will have known this before joining, although we all do things where we look back in hindsight.

 

No, but along with Rupp, he is the constant element that has been here in our downfall. Move him on, pay him out, and let GA replace him with someone qualified in his position.

 

Be great if the ISG could get an updated version of DA thoughts on the going ons at City

 

Also a very thorough article in the Yorkshire Post saying much of the same thing, including "there are other issues but I'm not going to talk about them now".

 

Excellent analysis @Dennis

 

Ok, but be helpful yes and less arrogant, go through them again for those with short memories.

 

The other issue is we are bab... we cant even scrape a draw from anyone, no tactics, players not in their position and their seems to be a few players who have wrapped their claw in.... You know you are bad when you give away soft penalties and OGs and the ball ...... regular

 

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but it struck me on Saturday that at the final whistle, Alexander appeared to head straight to the officials to shake their hands, and then made a point of going round the Harrogate players to shake their hands, before just heading straight for the tunnel without really having any interaction with any of the City players. All rather odd.

 

I'd say two.
Lack of football knowledge.
Lack of football strategy.

The rest is either bad luck (the pitch), a by product of the first two (recruitment, communication) or just opinions rather than fact.

 

After several managers coming and going, some dropping hints, there can be no denying there is a problem causing the manager in charge to have problems doing their jobs as they would like,GA has dropped a big hint, us fans should be supporting him not calling for his departure

 

According to Sparks.....
