Everybody should be happy now but what the **** has the last few months about and why didn’t the club sack him last week it was clearly on their minds |  |

Because they hoped we would beat Wolves and they could save themselves a few million and save themselves the embarrassment of admitting they were wrong. Now we expect the next appointment of a yes man who will accept their fantasist views. And so the vicious circle continues. [Post edited 12 Feb 2023 19:50]

I don’t think winning one game would have changed their minds | |

If that's the case, why did they let him take charge of.the game? What if we won 5 nil? [Post edited 12 Feb 2023 19:55]

God knows, in hindsight he was clearly on borrowed time | |

I agree but as I said, they hoped we would win and they could save face and save money. | |

They didn’t want to be seen to be jumping to fan opinion. These people like to be in control.
It’s so tragic that the writing was on the wall in the Brighton game. All that time with the squad and we were worse than under Ralph. It was such a disappointment, especially as many had already pointed to his time at Stoke and said he was out of his depth.
Three wins in 8 days didn’t help either. Made it necessary to give Jones more of a chance.
8 games, 7 defeats - what a complete disaster he was. | |

He would only have lost the next one. He was completely out of his depth in all aspects from tactics to dealing with the media. Their fault. | | | |

I agree, it is their fault. I want Sport Republic out. I have done, since they didn't give Ralph, the striker they promised him. Ankerson, Selles and co are a bunch of lying, stuck up, data driven fools and they have probably taken us down with their stupid player recruitment and stupid manager appointments.

Tend to agree with you Nick. Why wait until the Wolves game? SR haven't handled the manager situation well at all including Ralph. Unless I heard wrong, did they not say they were giving Ralph until the World Cup? Well, in that case why not change him in the summer. Why did they think Nathan Jones would be a good fit and if they had effectively made their mind up to dispense with Ralph as early as summer how could they have got it so badly wrong? The actions of the owners has probably ended this current time in the PL.
The irony is, that I think the transfer window in January was one of our best for a long time. What a pity they did not do that when we had the right person at the helm. For all the turmoil and results in the first half of the Wolves game I actually saw some hope with our new signings and what they could bring. | | | |

Complete madness from day one. Up there with the Lowe appointments when he was attempting to show the footballing world there was another way.
I remember watching the videos of training sessions from Staplewood as he walked around with scraps of paper in his hand, reeling off irrelevant and nonsensical commands and being totally unconvinced about him. I imagine most of the players just looked at him and thought how is he telling me what to do!
Throw in a monumental lack of self awareness and it has to go down as the most crass appointment in recent years in the game.
Problem is that it was all spunked away during a time where we had a run of games where we had a chance of gaining some points. Been resigned to being relegated for ages now, it’s too late for anyone to turn it around. | | | |

Not sure the dust has settled to be honest. The situation now is even worse than the 04/05 debacle, that led to relegation. How can we attract a viable manager in Feburary that will take relegation on as well. Do we have to see out the season with a caretaker ? Then either way try to get a manager with more options on the table ?
But its not just about the manager, there has been a big issue with the coaching over recent seasons. So the assistants and baggage also have to be up the job.
Then there is the problem with too many players being brought into the club because the club has agreed with agents, they can shop front their talent for a couple of seasons and move on. That has brought a lack of commitment and no leadership from back to front. |  | | |
