How many managers do we have to sack

Are you sure it's not Thatcher?

 

It is an opinion shared by me too

 

Here's my view, can't disagree with any of the comments....

1 Businessman buys a new business
2 Said business is a new venture in which he has no direct experience
3 Businessman recruits someone to look after the books (Don)
4 Business gets hit by recession (FFP & Relegation)
5 Bookkeeper retires so businessman looks elsewhere
6 Low budget for role determines recruitment of someone with a strong CV, contacts but no experience
7 Job offered to Ben as CEO
8 Ben is young and his experience is with young players, he knows the wage structure at that level
9 Businessman buys into policy of recruiting CEO's contacts
10 This includes the manager
11 New manager in place
12 Spreadsheet introduced (every business needs a spreadsheet)
13 Players identified and recruited to a profile
14 Players buy into vision
15 Vision starts to fail
16 Players start to fail
17 Customers start to leave
18 Businessman panics

Refer to step 9 and repeat

There are no doubts other steps to fill in.

That's all

 

That would make sense about Danny as he wouldn't put up with rubbish. Maybe they said LJ will be the last one as he doesn't argue back so they won't sack him? Cryne has said that he likes Lee and they get on well. The constant weird selections do make me wonder if someone else if playing at manager and LJ has to do what he is told. If that is the case, they may as well just do it themselves and save the club a wage.

 

I dont believe that it is anything to do with businessman hiring a low rank ben mansford as we had serious problems under patrick cryne when don was at the club and when gordon was too. There are two constants, Patrick Cryne and Barry Taylor

 

I knew you meant that. Explain why that is the case then? Or you may have done, I'll read on.

 

Because he has no football expertise and is just a fan but he is a fan with ultimate power in what is essentially a dictatorship. Now that is most likely not deliberate and he doesnt intend for that to be the case but when he owns the club, is the clubs major creditor and he is the clubs landlord as well then it stands to reason that what he says goes. He has 100% power at BFC and it is not healthy.

Imagine if I owned the club due to getting rich in a totally unrelated business and I had ultimate control. We'd go through managers weekly, have bobby hassells kids filling the squad and would have a scoreboard so big that it blocks the away end off. It wouldn't be deliberate but I would make decisions based on what I want and that is most likely what happens with PC. Its his money, his club, his land so what he wants is what happens and that is not a good way to run a football club.

 

Tbh I wouldn't say there isn't a problem higher up but that's pure speculation, certainly they have to take the blame for some disasterous appointments,
What is more tangible is what's on view on the pitch you can hardly blame them for tactics that have the same effect as a mogodon on the fans, minimal attempts on target and really weird substitutions.

 

He needs sacking!!

 

None of that makes us play so ****.

 

So do I.

I don't for a minute think he does.

If I ran the club I'd be desperate for us to succeed and it would be the club's very best interests that would be in my heart, but I'd be no good at it either.

 

And me. Has been for a while.

 

I can't appeal for Mr Cryne to go. It's his club, he can't be dismissed and I haven't got a viable alternative. But I can voice my opinion on a Barnsley FC forum that it is the decisions made much higher up than the manager that are the root of our problems. Particularly at a time when calls for the manager's head are gathering apace. Not that I'm seeing a lot in Johnson at the moment, but I don't believe sacking him at this point is the answer.

I don't want to see our owner abused. But I would like to see more discussion about where it's all going wrong rather than just laying all the blame at the manager's door and seeing his dismissal as the answer to our problems.

 

To sack a manager based on how the players look at you when he openly declared he didn't even know who John Stones was or how good he was is a bit rich. Maybe his actions or the things he was saying to them were what made them glaze over. Also what if his failings to even know who his staff were caused him to lose some respect?? Who knows. But he sacked a manager based on what he was seeing after a speech from himself...crazy. I think their showing in the game following at Crawley showed what the players thought of the decision.

The only folk with fish eyes now are the supporters. I looked around and half the ponty were on their smartphones on facebook or playing games the football was that poor.

Saturday will be a morgue as well. Im going out at 12 to get pissed first so it numbs the pain. Will be int silkstone if you want to join us lol. Who knows the game may seem a lot better with beer goggles - bit like that 2am munter you once pulled when pissed. Its only morning after you realise how bad it was.
