For the reasons I posted on another thread. Basically getting rid won’t save us, we’d have to pay compensation and his Championship record is astonishingly good. Nobody is expecting us to be saved from relegation now. However, the way we have been so embarrassing and the way he has dismantled the s...

The managers fault Brownhill (insert literally anyone) can't pass to his own players ? The managers fault half the squad have been out injured ? The managers fault Foster has had issues ?

Traffords selection isn’t the be all and end all of all that has been shite this season. I don’t understand why it appears to be the only hill you want to die on for some reason. There are a tonne of proverbial hills to choose from.

Yes, and they're all down to the manager.

fidelcastro

I've often heard the expression "running out of superlatives", sadly it sounds like you're running out of ways to say how bad we are.

fidelcastro

I remember him being interviewed by Alan Shearer in the documentary he was doing about the connection between dementia and the constant heading of footballs.

It was really sad that Nicholl sounded like a punch drunk boxer, but he said that he didn't regret a thing in his career.

Easy to say that. Phil Parkinson done nothing as a manager in the championship never mind the premier league

Agreed. What I'm saying is I don't think we'd have been worse off this season.

fidelcastro

For all their failings at this level, most of the current squad are far, far too good for the championship and after last season you (probably) have to feel the same about the manager. Which players are too good for the Championship? We have some good Championship players. It doesn't mean they're t...

So why don’t premier league clubs hire league one managers

You've missed my point.

I honestly don't think we'd have fewer points if Phil Parkinson was in charge (and no, I don't want him as Kompany's replacement!)

fidelcastro

Dyche was potted after we'd accumulated 24 points from 30 games

Currently we have 13 points from 26 games.

If we don't surpass 24 points after 30 games (we won't), we have officially gone backwards since Dyche went.

Where do we go from here?

So VK is sacked tonight. Who replaces him? Not seen many suggestions

Do you actually think we'd have fewer points with a League One manager in charge of this group of players?

Purely hypothetical, I know, but I honestly don't think we would have.

fidelcastro

I have now bumped the thread containing the BBC interview where the assurance on VK’s position as manager was made. If we were to lose next week at home, and in a similar manner to today, then the fans' patience is going to turn. That's my prediction, so his assurances about the manager are going t...

Came from a Matt Williams - thread contains positive comments from posters “excellent interview” and “good to hear there’s no sign of panic from the club”.

Then we really are screwed, if people are going to keep blindly believing in him.

Open your sodding eyes people!

Wasn’t there a quote posted on here recently that the position of Kompany was the safest of all 92 managers?

Did it come from Alan Pace?

fidelcastro

Well yes, you'd certainly hope so. Whatever the figure comes to, just pay it and let's have him out. What worries me is that we're going to spend the next few years desperately trying to offload the absolute shite he's landed us with. Lots of loans to the Turkish League beckon. Stop it.

We need some men in the team with experience, that requires a tweaking of the team. We don't need a new squad or another 11 players through the door.

No. We need a new manager.

Just get him out of the club now.

Significantly less than he's spent (wasted), surely?

Not sure what you've been watching (or drinking!)

fidelcastro

Kompany has just been on Radio Lancs.

He said something on the lines of "There are millions who play football and do you know what the odds are on getting to the premier league"?!!!

Clueless!

The only Millions he should be talking about are the ones he's spunked up the wall!

Try and get them a bit of extra appearance money?

That’s the best I can do.

Do they genuinely get extra for coming on in injury time at 3-0 down?

If so, Pace should be furious!

fidelcastro

Please can someone explain the logic to this?

I'm not a coach, you see?

Please educate me!

Didn’t laws get 33 points? We are going to be nowhere near that way it’s going.

We went down that season with 30 points.

We won 10 of those points under Laws.

The thing that Laws had going for him was that he didn't spend £100+m to serve up such shite.

Kompany could write a book on how to systematically take apart the culture of an organisation.

Aided and abetted by the owners.

fidelcastro

If he has an ounce of decency he should admit he's out of his depth and walk away tonight. If he tries to spin it that we were unlucky or something, then I may just boycott Turf Moor until he's gone. How embarrassing is it now looking that he said the opening game against City would be the worst we...

I really do fear for the future of our great club, with yours truly at the helm.

The excuse that it was great teams who were beating us just doesn't hold water anymore.

Palace were anything but a great team, and were without three of their best players.

It's beyond embarrassing and Kompany needs to go now!

Opinions can change. Pace's opinion of Dyche changed during the season.

If he can't see what's happening then it's worse than I thought.

fidelcastro

Pace obviously isn't the world's greatest footy fan, but even he can see that this is complete shite.

Time to go Vinnie.
