It also suggests a very one dimensional approach in terms of the way the team can play and if you change that the players can't cope, i.e. he wants robots rather than adaptable players who can think on their feet when needed, as you alluded to with your earlier post. Definitely. Especially seeing as he usually comes in as an "impact" manager so clubs chuck money at him which he spends extortionate amounts on players (who are average at best and limited to his style of play) leaving anyone who's picking up the pieces after him with little amount to spend to get better players in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, good point re: the blowing of the budget for future managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They escaped by the skin of their teeth, it's not like he'd rocketed them up the table. They'd been out of the bottom three for about 30 days all season if memory serves. Can't find a "final version" for the 15/16 season, but yeah he only managed 40 odd days outside the bottom three and zero days outside the bottom 4. by comparison, this was them in 2016/17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 To try and make them feel relevant because no one else in the country gives a shit about them. At least we have identity about ourselves. They're only known countrywide as our "rivals". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Sunderland played Grimsby away in front of crowd of 248 with 3 yes 3 mackems there. Respect to all those traveling fans btw. I can't find a thread about their game and support. "When the players ended their warm-up I shouted 'Come on lads, we've come all this way so give us a win'," said Jewitt. "However, the players didn't even come over at the end, I didn't get a shirt or anything. We didn't get back until about 2am." Says it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 There is no way the makems only took 3 to Grimsby.Everyone knows they take at least 20,000 to every away game .They reckon they're going to take 30,000 to Burton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that whole thread is comedy gold, especially when "Madbob the makem" goes on about knowing the millwall senior crew run by Harry the dog who is still game as mustard apparently. Then a few posts later someone points out Harry the Dog died in 2013 as an old alcoholic. Madbob's reply "must be a different Harry the Dog".
