Just a gut feeling on Griffin?

It's OK getting rid of these, but have to replace them.

Some can be replaced internally like Bowden and JJ, but others need more experienced replacements.

Reynolds and Gale have been replaced, think Walker or Smith will replace Shaul.

That leaves us needing to replace Mau and maybe Griffin and that's without potentially any non fed places.

There’s nothing left to say - next season will
not be any better - in fact likely worse as BHs run to being sacked can only mean it gets worse
I’m really beginning to feel AP doesn’t know how to manage Coaches,
or even recruit them

Worryingly his record at City with coaches was mixed. Taylor and Brown undoubted successes but that was mixed in with sacking Little harshly and hiring Molby, Parkinson and Dowie. Impossible for any owner to get every hire right but theres more misses than successes.

It's his own money at FC which makes the decisions very different. Motivation is different. He has patience as the owner.
In soccer he was forced to make success happen and quick.

Name one coaching decision at FC he got right and PLEASE do not say Radford.

AP has been a terrible CEO but a very generous owner. I love him for his dedication to FC. The Haslams at Cleveland Browns are the same. Beautiful people but can't hire the Head Coach, or manage them.

Can't seem to get Hodgsons post match interview to work, but I;ve read on social media that he called out Wynne absolutely awful if he did and didn't name any other players, he is a 21 one year old kid, Ok he had a poor game, but not many didn't and a lot more senior players on a lot more money had just a bad a game, not fair to pick on one player

He did unfortunately and it was poor. I think the point he was trying to make was that players were jumping out of the line and trying to fix a problem that wasn't there, but to single put just Wynne was poor.

Reynolds has gone and now he goes after his lad

Has he lost the dressing room ?

Lost the dressing room or just totally out of his depth, take your pick.

We are heading for a massive financial hit if he is still in charge for next season which I'm sure he will be given Pearson seems to have blind faith in him.

Re: Hodgson : Mon Aug 15, 2022 8:53 am  

We've asked the same question about our last 3 or 4(?) coaches. It does beg the question is the coach the problem or the core of players who have been here all that time?
Although I think only Houghton and Taylor are left from that group now which does make the continuing same problems all the more baffling.
Maybe its both. Not sure anyone has the answers.
