I believe the majority. Like/liked all three. But I felt a different vibe on the replacements. This guy, more honest and open and the best at man management is what I’m given to understand. Stendel and especially Struhber stood by their favourites when not performing. I don’t think this guy will allow that to happen. Is prepared to switch around a lot more. And that looks to benefit the team to me. Would either of the other 2 gone with that front line after the Chelsea game. ?. 3 practically new players not familiar with one another.
You could write to, text, email, facebook, twitter, or contact them through any other social media platform that they engage with. I write this as someone who isn't particularly enamoured with our board of directors. And I know that they know this. But when I've written to them or asked them face to face they've answered me honestly. Ask yourself, it's a hell of a better answer than I could give you.
Never really loved Struber. I wanted to bum Stendel for our glorious league one automatic promotion, and I want big Val to chase me though.
I love it when people make accusations but can’t provide any info. Reminds me when Murray was a snake but nobody could actually say why... Regarding Struber, last season he was superb. I don’t see how any reds fan could think otherwise. But early doors this season we just didn’t seem to have the same ‘aura’ about us. Val has taken us to another level that I don’t think Struber could have but I still think we’d have been safe.
This. Usual vague suggestions of impropriety but no facts. Why bother posting if not furnished with actual evidence.
I thought Struber did an incredible job to keep us up last season, and to be fair to him, the start to this season proved to be a lot tougher than we thought it would be when the fixtures came out. Reading, Boro and Luton all exceeded expectations, and we probably didn't appreciate that it was actually a pretty difficult start. That said, he came across to me as somebody that had become more interested in protecting his reputation. When Brown was sold, he was initially philosophical, and he was glowing with praise when Frieser was signed. Yet, after a couple more games of looking toothless he would start to get very vocal about needing a striker. He ultimately traded on the treatment of his predecessor to help create a story of the club not backing the coach. It had turned into a circus that we were better off letting leave town. He also seemed to be dismissive of any targets identified from lower leagues. He said that Whiteman would be a development player, which was clearly nonsense. I assume he'd dismissed the potential signing of Brittain, instead preferring to sign Ludewig on loan. Then there's Ritzmaier, who I wouldn't want to swap for any of our midfielders now. He seemed to think that his style of play was so unique that nobody could possibly learn it.
Like Spackman. Their managerial success was exactly the same. Achieved safety with organisation at the back and good attacking play. Then ditch this to pass it along the back four.
I don't really think anything about him. He did a job I wish him well. I just think we'd be in the bottom three had he stayed and probably be without Mowatt and Woodrow. All conjecture though.
