can we get the moaning out of our systems now. The lad is here to do a job and he will need our support from the terraces. Lets have no more moaning and groaning its got boring now. The appointment has been made as a eddie howe type coach a young hungry and wants to prove himself, football runs through his blood following in his fathers footsteps, he seems proud to be here and i believe he wants to succeed, although very young he seems to have an older head on his shoulders and should get respect from players and in time earn ours, i believe he will be good for us and he will bring us success that were all craving for, so lets all relax and let him earn his stripes. YOU REDS.
Well said. Not the few weeks I would want for my club, but what's done is done, let's get behind them now.
Yes, but being anti the manager is a no lose situation and being able to say I told you so is the ultimate achievement for some. By saying the manager will get sacked you will almost certainly be right. Every manager since I have been watching the Reds (1977) has been sacked or put on garden leave (whatever the **** that was all about), apart from Viv Anderson (who wasn't far off being). Even the two who left for bigger and better things, i.e. getting a hated local rival relegated to our level, came back so they could get sacked. So saying the Reds manager is rubbish and will get sacked is a pretty safe bet. And what's more, if he starts doing well and we start winning you can either jump on the bandwagon for a bit, or do the "he's rubbish, but I hope he proves me wrong" thing, where you get to save face for a bit until things inevitably turn sour and you can start saying the manager's rubbish and needs sacking again. Honestly, it's no lose, just like when the tabloids start slagging England off in the run up to the World Cup, so that they can either say I told you so when we flop or switch with the public mood and start printing St George's cross masks if we start winning. Personally, I couldn't see the point in sacking Wilson and couldn't see the point in giving the job to someone in a not much better position than us and with little experience to fall back on. But once again, I'm easily swayed and impressed with his press conference, so I'm looking forward to supporting him and seeing what happens. In fact, probably the only time it has quickly worked the other way was with the appointment of Keith Hill. He sat in that press conference looking like he'd been up all night, chewing his gum, and acting like a mini Brian Clough and got more arrogant from there. I was behind him right up to the time that he first opened his mouth!
yes mate, it is easy to slag manager appiontments off then just enjoy the good times and say nothing agian untill the club goes through a sticky patch (period). Its been happening to us a lot more than most clubs, thats probably why our fans moan a lot. We need stability now and have a happy era for a while and appointing L J who is young hungry maybe new breed of manager can bring the good times back. The last few managers off all types have brought bad dier football to oakwell who all thought they had nothing to prove the worst was kieth hill who told us were the worst club ever and it gone from bad to worse from there, and i think danny had lost the plot his second stint wasnt very good.
