I know it won't happen, but it would be outstanding if no media turned up at the next pre-match presser. Just to watch Poya and whichever pointless squad member he brings out - arrive to an empty room and walk back out again. Just film it. Would be a brilliant way to get the point across - 'no one gives a fk about anything you have to say anymore. Just fk off'. I know it won't happen like, but it's just a tiny measure of how furious I am right now.
"We have to be brave going to Swansea, we have to attack and defend well, we're only 8 points behind..." Narrator: "they did not attack or defend well, and they were now 11 points behind"
It was a piss poor appointment totally wrong in the predicament we were in the sooner we get shut the better because I don't think he will fair any better in league 1
May as well have him on gardening leave for a month and see how Laumann or Devaney do. Reading the quotes in the post match interviews, pretty much admitting that the effort wasn’t there. Imagine not trying, only to find out that their main rivals had lost at home.
I'd let him see it out till the end of the season. Who deserves a relegation on their record, Poya or Devaney?
Despite how woefully inept Poya is at this level, the effort and character during those 90+ minutes is on the players. They're professionals. They're escaping way too much blame, because of the sentiment towards Poya and the owners. Given the predicament we were in before kick-off, that performance from those players today was indefensible. It was a cowardly surrender and they need calling out for it.
I’ve not seen the game today, so my comments are based on previous games, where I really don’t see the point in having him in charge for these last 6 games. Sadly, any other team and any other group of players would have you expecting some sort of reaction in the next game. I’m just expecting us to stand and watch Swansea pass it about, and it being a matter of when they score.
I’m not sure it works like that in terms of a relegation on their record. Nobody would hold this relegation against Devaney, but there’s more value in seeing how he handles the top job for 6 games than leaving somebody in charge that we know won’t be hanging around.
People wouldn't hold it against Devaney, but people would remember it as Devaney being in charge when we went down. Maybe in the immediate aftermath people would sympathise with him and of course acknowledge it's not his doing at all. But it would be on his record and in the history books and, in my view, if we are going to give him a stab at it it's better and fairer for him to have a clean slate. We are pretty much down - and with a whimper too -and the players and Poya should feel the force of that. I will be interested to read Poya's comments when the inevitable is confirmed. We shouldn't exact any further pain by appointing Devaney and letting him directly suffer too.
You're targeting the wrong man; he never tries to hide and is always willing to take possession, unlike some who put the red shirt on.
