Freedman out!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

In what way did anything you typed thereafter disprove what I'd said - that he was after the Reading job before Brighton's play-offs?

He wasn't 'after' the Reading job.

He wasn't after the Reading job? He talked to them! (Source: The BBC.) What were they discussing, do you imagine? I reckon it was the possibility that he take over the job as their manager. By any sensible rationale, that means he was "after" - interested in - the job. Doesn't it? Or have I spent all these years not understanding English?

If he was, he would have taken it.

Unless it didn't suit him.

You've also 'selectively' left out the word 'classy', which you originally used to imply that he was touting for the Reading job. He wasn't. They approached Brighton. He didn't approach them.

I didn't use "classy" to imply he was touting for the Reading job. I used it to say he gave it very careful consideration despite the fact his current side were in the thick of a promotion battle.

These are just basic facts which aren't even that difficult to check.

I love you.

You can split enough hairs to make a straw man if you wish, but I fear you may be making yourself look silly.

The timing of their approach is nothing to do with him. Why shouldn't he speak to a club that were in the Premier League at the time? If he'd been underhand and spoken to them without Brighton's permission before resigning to take the job and leaving Brighton managerless, it might warrant the snide use of the word 'classy'. As he didn't do that, it doesn't.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

So you don't deny he was interested in the Reading job, before Brighton's play-offs? Only, a few posts ago you said that was "complete rubbish".

[BL3]

You'd also be naive to believe that Poyet wasn't sounded out for interest before an approach was made to Brighton, whether that be directly or indirectly.

So they sounded him out, realised he wasn't interested and then asked Brighton for official permission to speak to him? Or did they just speak to him about the job in principal without bothering to go into any real detail about it? Or maybe he just forgot to ask them during the course of this alleged conversation.

There's a difference between saying that he was 'interested in' and saying that he was 'after' the Reading job. The latter implies that he was actively seeking it, particularly when you add the word 'classy', as if he'd gone about it in some underhand fashion, when in fact he'd actually followed the correct procedure. Maybe you don't understand English after all.

Checkyerfacts!!!!!!!!!!! He did no such thing!

[Worthy4England]

He clearly would be doing right now.

[plymouth wanderer]

Shame!!!

But we have to start looking now.

[SmokinFrazier]

He's nowhere near good enough as a manager and he should be sacked tonight. We don't create anything when we're going forward and we can't defend either, so he has nothing going for him. He's one of the worst managers I've had the displeasure of watching and the sooner he's gone, the better.

[plymouth wanderer]

So who would you get in?

Top 3 choices?

[Annoyed Grunt]

You think Dougie is the right man?

[plymouth wanderer]

Not anymore

[davroduk]

Surely no one can still believe that he is the right man for the job.
People say that it would cost to much to sack him, but how much will relegation cost us ??
He has to go, and go NOW !!!!!!!!

What makes you think we still won't get relegated regardless

The problem is that the shower of shit are unlikely to perform, regardless of the clown in charge.

Agree....we can't defend & we can't score goals, absolutely zero signs of improvement in any area since Freedman started.

Get Freedman (& Gartside) out now - yet another shocking managerial appointment. We are not the club for Freedman to learn about how to become a manager, we needed experience someone to come in and stick a rocket up the arses of this overpaid shower of shite.

I know the players are equally to blame but they are clearly not playing for Freedman, and all this tinkering and changing of formation week in week out - he's not a clue what team & formation to play.

Both of them are absolutely clueless....

I think it's time for Dougie to go. Sad to say as I think he's a decent chap and very intelligent, but for all that he just can't seem to work out what's wrong with the team and how to go about fixing it.

As for a replacement, I've not a clue, but I get the feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better for Wanderers. Perhaps relegation, a complete clear out of the playing and senior coaching staff and a new recruitment policy would do us a world of good. We've come back from the doldrums before and I'll always support the team but something needs to change or we're in bigger trouble than just falling down to League 1.

[officer_dibble]

Its when now, not if
I still think he'll get yeovil

I actually think there is a good manager in there (unlike coyle) but there are too many problems now. We'll roll the dice andhope for the inevitable lift under a new bloke. But the spineless bastards will continue to let him down.

PS
Gartside shouldnt choose the next one

Still
Look at leeds. Forest, sheff u, leicester...we're in good company. But we are breaking some embarrassing records doing it...
