Famously Alex Ferguson won just one of his first six league games in charge of Aberdeen and was knocked out of the league cup. I'm as concerned as anyone else about results and performances but you can't write Selles off after such a short time in charge.

Yes you can. Just watched knowledgable pundits commenting on another Charlatan at Rangers, Russel Martin. As one said, he can use all the buzzwords he wants but without the team playing for him he’s nothing. They’re not playing for Selles because they know he’s clueless. Jobs too big like it is for Martin at Rangers.
 

Pretty soon 🔜 he will have

Cooper
Godfrey
Z
Tiganga
Burrows
Soumare
Hamer
Barry
Xxx (expect that position to be filled)
Campbell
Xxx (expect another striker)

He’s quickly running out of excuses .. that squad will be good enough for top 6
 
Frankly that's the only explanation that makes any sense. Why would anyone sack a manager who just finished 3rd and replace with a manager who finished 21st and had been sacked for that underwhelming performance?

The owners had some "great ideas" via AI and wanted a manager who would implement them. For that you need a manager with no bargaining power because you've given them a job the level of which they couldn't hope to get elsewhere.

Cue Selles.
My thinking entirely.

You expect Hamer to stay? I don’t. Nor Cooper. That “squad” isn’t a squad it’s a bare 9 with 2 expectations. (let us know who you expect). This is a live fuck up slow motion car crash. Because you’ve actually got to score a goal to actually win a game. Highly unlikely at present the way he sets up.
 
Is he on the Regaine as well, wearing the hat? Like his hair going and this job, just admit defeat and go. But the players arent covering themselves in glory. Sulking like 5 year olds because someone’s nicked their crayons (Wilder). If they’re not understanding the system, have the balls to say it, have a meeting about it and get on with it. If it’s still not working then fair enough. But to waltz around like a set of big soft lasses is boiling my piss. To purposely not play for a Manager is so fucking disrespectful to the fans. If you don’t want to be here put a transfer request in. Simple as.
 
Selles is probably a nice bloke; however, He is not the right manager for us. The owners have made a mistake, so do the right thing and sack him.
Don't leave it too late; the longer the wait, the worse it will get. If you don't want Chris Wlder to come back, then point a propper manager. Who has played professional football and has the experience of managing a club.
 
DOF to support Selles and the players grow a pair, work like responsible adults and do the basics properly. Striker and mid needed

Self pity isn't a good look when a new boss has come in. They don't ALL become bad players so soon
Unless they are played out of position and completely co fused by the system they are being asked to play. Oh wait, that’s down to the manager.

Obviously if Hamer goes and cooper it will be more difficult…depending on who if anyone we replace them with.

But if they stay and we add a RW and a striker then that 11 is good enough for top 6.

Then off the bench you have

T Davies
T Cannon
Brookes
Peck
Blaster (if fit)

Etc.

But I would get rid now and replace with someone else tbh ..

What I meant is he’s still fit the excuse of not having the players which he won’t have soon
 
Gone for yeah. But make no mistake. The players are cunts who haven’t showered themselves in glory. They’re a

What is happening with the youth setup wasn't it set up to mirror the 1st team. Wasn't it kept similar to make it an easy transition so the young players could fit right in to the same system. Just wondering since their coaches have now left and gone elsewhere all at once .
 

Still don’t understand the appointment. We sack a bloke that would have more than likely mirrored last season if not gone one better and then employ someone who’s done, well nothing. I wouldn’t class avoiding relegation with Hull a success either. This lot is so Utd.

As bizarre as the Selles appointment is starting to seem, it can (and should) be treated in isolation from the decision to sack Wilder.

The assumption he'd have mirrored last season's 92 points haul is a strange one I've seen repeated several times.
We were incredibly fortunate to get that many and the football was awful.

Better than now, but that's irrelevant to the initial decision.

We need to get the next one right.
Steve Cooper feels the perfect man for this job (to me).

Well, technically speaking, the coach now, some other people at the club manage it.

What a waste of a season, whilst we continue to be an complete and utter embarrassment, a majority of the teams in the division will likely pull away from us, leaving a new coach the problem of catching up at the very least, could be also be a dog fight relegation scrap if left too long before firing the current one?

Agree with most of what you stated there, don't think that Cooper would come near us TBH though and other options would likely have to be considered.
 
It’s bordering on embarrassment that we would be having a conversation 3 games into a 46 game season and are already heading down the Watford rabbit hole of sacking managers

So the players clearly can’t handle a change of style and tactics so you want to sack a manager and bring in another new guy

And this new manager, you are going to give him a set of players whom he might not even personally want himself and then what ?? You are then still left with the reality of you might need 3-4 windows anyway

Reality is folks that we are not the Liverpool/man city or Real Madrid of this league, last season both Leeds and Burnley were consistently better than us for the entire season and it’s time to put your big boy and girl pants and admit that we wilted under the pressure when we had the advantage down the final straight and we wilted in that final v Sunderland

Chris wilder is a legend, he deserves a statue for what he has done here and his time here will live with everyone of us but this shitting the bead panic and let’s go back to him or something similar because it’s a comfort blanket is zero guarantee of anything, yes we got over 90 last season but nothing to say that we get near that or that there are not 2-3 teams clearly better than us again

Is Selles the man ?? Non of us have a clue, I voted no to sacking him as IMO it needs time but I have no idea why he chooses to play both Cannon and Campbell together and then puts cannon on wing instead of Campbell, it’s decisions like this that will see fans drive him out

Giving him the window to bring players in and see where we are in Oct/nov is the only real move here because the most likely result is it’s just another football version of Groundhog Day, if it’s Clearly not working by then then give new guy the Jan window to keep us up
I agree with the last paragraph.

Let's say we pull the trigger on Selles tomorrow, if a new manager comes in and we then lose another three do we pull the trigger again?
 
I think we missed a real opportunity with Alex Blessin. Keen follower of the Bundesliga, doing a great job at St Pauli. Supremely organised, quick on the break, fit with an obvious style of play. Wanted to come here as well. Shame.
I thought the work permit issue ruled him out for us? But yes, I agree, would love him here now.

That type of identity (supremely organised, quick on the break, fit with an obvious style of play) is something that most fans could get behind and wouldn't mind losing a few games doing it, if you could see the plan.

I'm not arguing against you here, but doesn't winning matches, however that is achieved, the target?

I mean Russell Martin does tippy happy, but we've had managers recently who won football matches.

Did we feel better (proud) in the top 3 all season, rather than 4 straight defeats and ROCK bottom (embarrassed)?
 

You don't win a cup, or promotion by being nice to watch losers. Obviously we're not that and will never be under Selles anyway, he's clueless, we could get a group of us to get us up to 8th in 4 weeks time, but thats by the by
