To me it just looks like we are out of our depth at the minute, we lack that know how and quality to win games. I love the brand of football that DS wants to play but he clearly hasn't got the players to do it at this level. We just need to ride this spell out and hope that things improve.
That's exactly the point the original poster is making you div. Stendel hasn't been given the tools, so for his own good no one would blame him if he walked.
Now we've hit rocket bottom it's time to put our pants on our heads stick pencils up our noses n' go "wibble".
I wouldn't hang around if I was him. Move to a foreign country, learn a new language, leave your family behind and have your squad asset stripped. No thanks.
I do not think he expected to lose his 1st choice keeper, 1st choice centre halfs and 1st choice target man all in the same window.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, he’s been sold down the river. He deserves better than this after last season. Never seen better football played down at Oakwell. I did see the promotion the the premier league, but was too young to appreciate it for what it was. My favourite ever manager too. He deserves better than this and he will get a more prestige job than the one he has now.
The Manager has got Tools, and when he shits on em, the tools look up and only see an Arsehole. Its not the time for Pointing fingers, cos wen tha does remember, theres always three poiting back. C.O.Y.R.
He’s earning 500k a year (I’ve done no research, it’s probably more) so let’s not shed too many tears, his job is to improve results based on the parameters of the finances- our wage bill leaves us in the bottom 3. If that’s where we end up it’s not his “fault” but neither has he improved us.
I haven’t used “div” for ages, I need to start using it again, made me chuckle that did, cheers for that jamo ya div
To be fair I doubt I'll see us go a full season unbeaten at home again and will probley be a long time before we play football like he had us playing last season some of the best I've seen since wilson I 97. He then lost both center backs and his top scorer replaced them with gambles who have never played at this level before jordan William's hasn't even got much league one experience he has one striker in woodrow. I'm really struggling to blame stendel for this mess I feel for him and the fans who went today.
