Ronald Koeman discussion

Rooney is a massive waste of space on that pitch. Should never have signed him.

Keeping young players out who could team up better with DCL.

And to add insult to injury, he is getting £150k p/w.

I do understand the urge to sack him. However we are still only at the start of his second season and are trying to blend a number of new players into the team. Second seasons are notoriously difficult for most managers.
I would afford him more time based on his relative success in equally difficult circumstances at his previous club. It is obviously better for our club if the current manager can put right what is wrong with what is now his team than return to the start with a new manager.
I am willing to remain patient for a while longer yet.

I agree mate, it's far too soon to think of sacking our manager. Better to get off his back and let him sort out the problems, and yes I know they're of his own making, but he deserves more time, certainly until the year end.

But Jagielka is though.

I would rather play Alcaraz over Williams atm... I welcome Jags back into the fold.

He's marginally better than Williams, which is still rubbish. 35 years old.

This is how bad things have got.

Onyekuru is banging them in on loan when he could have been here doing it for us, but for our `halfwit` board
not sorting out the work permit ............

Aren’t work permits out of the boards hands?

It’s an employment thing isn’t it?

And Cuco the Clown.

Indeed. I know the board get some stick but blaming them for employment law takes it to a whole new level.

Personally I wouldn't have signed him and if we're going to play him then put him in the side and get him to play the Schneiderlin role.

It is never “too soon” to think about firing an underperforming manager.

It might be too early to actually pull the trigger, but the club’s honchos have at the very least to be monitoring the current malaise and formulating a Plan B in case this slide is not arrested......soon.

Because if it is not, the end of the year might well be too late to pull out of it.

As for me, tomorrow and then the Leicester game in a fortnight are the crunch games.

If we fail to win at least one of them, ship the bugger out before he sinks us.
