You can have a strategy, but if it's not working you try something else. If that doesn't work you lose your job.

This isn't some sort of finishing school for budding managers. There's only any point in persisting with him if you think he has what it takes to 'get us back on track', which he was brought in to do a year ago. Automatic promotion means 2ppg. Play-offs is nearer 1.5ppg. We're nowhere near either of those totals yet.

A successful campaign is also decided at the end of the season. We're nowhere near that either.

The decision was taken ten games into last season because 11 points from ten games wasn't deemed to be sufficient.

And it was a decision, you strongly argued against!

Correct but Dougie was brought in to 'get us back on track'. What was the point of making the change otherwise?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

What s the point of your point, other than to bore the feck out of the inhabitants of this forum. We know you hate Dougie. We've known since he got here. It is tedious. Really tedious...

He wasn't sacked on the back of 10 bad games

He was sacked because he had the squad he would have wanted for a Premier League season and we were dogshit, despite him playing a division lower than we should have been

I don't think managers are purely sacked on points per game. Not at a relatively early stage at least.

I don't think Coyle went merely because we'd got 11 from 10 or whatever. Nor did Lee go merely because we had 5 from 10.

Coyle went because he'd had the time to build a squad here (3 years) had said it was "his dream squad" and having been relegated the season before despite having a large wage bill was expected to do much better with "his squad" at a lower level.

Lee went because it was utter chaos behind the scenes (and in front of the scenes for that matter) with disgruntled players sounding off left right and centre.

My sense is that sticking with Dougie until we absolutely have no choice but to get rid (if it ever comes to that) is the right thing to do.

But bottom line is that it is entirely up to Eddie Davies. I have no idea what he is thinking or what he plans. But so far the only signs are that the club and Eddie are backing Dougie. So whether right or wrong there will be a reason behind that.

But Dougie said he was happy with the squad when he arrived. He then added to that squad over the summer. All of a sudden this squad, which was second favourites for promotion behind QPR at the start of the season, wasn't deemed good enough. It all comes down to whether you think there's any real strategy in place or not.

At least some of the sh*te I come out with is funny, this is just boring nothing more.

It doesn't though. It comes down to whether Eddie thinks there is or isn't.

To be fair, I'm not sure he could've said much else.

He was fairly critical after the Blackburn game and then people said he was in danger of losing the dressing room

It is a difficult balancing act.

Yes, that's because Coyle, as Insane told us in one of his more lucid moments, had driven a cancerous wrecking ball through the Club.

Freedman's crime, such as it is, is not that he caused this damage but that he has not yet repaired it.

I remember him saying that he'd done as much as he could with certain players and then he continued to pick them. Like i said, is there really any strategy in place at all, or is he just making it up as he goes along?

hmmmm.... this is an endless tedious circle... that decision was taken after a LOT longer than 10 games.

That isn't what was said quite now was it?

I like your optimism!
