Worst Sheffield United manager I've ever seen

[CaptainMorgans]

Sadly, I agree.

I can't think of anything he's getting right and the results show it.

The Board haven't helped him with slow recruitment, but what we're seeing on the pitch is awful.

Seeing him playing around with laptops and notepads on the sidelines... it just looks all wrong.

 

[gordoncharles]

He was caught on camera drafting his resignation about 15 minutes before the end of the game. It looked quite a tome.

At least that's what I thought, but as it turned out it was an elaborate re-shaping of the team prior to the final changes that made all the difference, as we all witnessed.

I'm long in the tooth, though. It's far too early to make that call. There's a fine judgement to be made about when to keep going with a significant change that seems not to be working, and when to call it a day.

But 4 league games is not it, no matter if at the moment what's an offer is about as attractive as a Rich Tea biscuit would be to a man with a raging thirst.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Worse than Weir
Worse then Adams
Worse than Heath
Worse than Robson
Worse than Slav
Worse than McEwan

So do you rate John Carver as being worse than Rubes?

 

[Sithblade]

McEwan was bad , And I mean really bad

I'd take his 9th place finish in 86/87 right now.

i fully agree - too early , 4 league games is not enough. The owners will not sack him imo .

At least give Selles

At least he is conducting himself with dignity. He is taking huge personal abuse ( some bang out of order) but is still acting responsible, professional, not shirking interviews and not blaming his players. He is talking rational to the current situation.

Yep, I'll give him that.

The abuse and criticism is way over the top imo - even though the start he has had is appallingly poor . He really is on a hiding to nothing tbh

 

[Snowflake]

It wouldn't matter if we signed Solomon and Sargent and kept Hamer and O Hare the manager is useless.

He may be, but until we can see what he does with a full squad we cannot sensibly make that judgement.

 

[scouseblade]

The worst manager you’ve ever seen beat us 3-0 last season fwiw

Freak result.

 

[blade too long]

We got exactly what we deserved .played like a bucn of strangers.good job they missed so many...we kept being ripped assubdr by the simplest of passes , yet again not a shot on goal

Get rid of this clown ASAP..

 

[UddersBlade]

Martin Peters was the worst I’ve ever seen. Nigel Adkins close behind with Billy McEwan. But after that Selles it’s hopeless so far.

 

[Bell4]

Having said that - the Spurs supporters were walking out of the stadium at 85 mins and booed the team off ...this after a great start by Frank and beating Man C away ....footie fans ....lots of hyper fannies

 

[deplorable]

Freak result.

I have watched the game back and believe that it was one of those games that we had too many players that didn't turn up, it wasn't any tactical genius by Selles.

But clearly our new owners saw it and thought - him, he will do.

Of course this is true- the bloke is 100% decent, but he's also 100% the wrong choice. You could not set us up worse if you tried. He points to only a 1-0 loss but Jesus without Tangy this is 4-0 all day long, we were thrashed.

Forget all the visionary crap - we need a manager that is an experienced Champ manager. Today we looked inept, against Millwall , Swansea and Bristol City inept.

Change quick and we can easily finish mid table, your right fans are brutal in this situation, pull him out quick for his sake, the teams sake and most of all US.

 

[Torrix1889]

Worse than Weir
Worse then Adams
Worse than Heath
Worse than Robson
Worse than Slav
Worse than McEwan

Fair point well made.

And Selles has the best squad out of them all, and by a long fucking margin.

 

[Sandygate Blade]

McEwan was bad , And I mean really bad

Martin Peters was the wot. God they were dreadful days. The Walsall loss has to be the worst in our history. That said if Ruben is here next May then I may reconsider.

Ruben won't be here on Tuesday.

I don't think the players believe in him either

 

[Bell4]

He will

 

[Linzip]

0% win rate
100% loss record

From the majority of a team that ostensibly could have been promoted last season.

FRAUD!

Unsurprising given his CV and if our board appoint and sack based on stats he should firstly never have been appointed and secondly should no longer be the manager

I think those stats need sending to our silicone valley friends lol

 

[luffenhamblade]

Agree, though Adams was possibly my biggest disappointment; I had high hopes for that appointment.

 

[moody1889]

Of course we can he is not the manager to take us forward

 

[The Crab]

Unless we have a greater comeback than Methuselah Selles won’t be here in may

 

[Hblockblade]

Has he gone yet?

 

[Varkanoid]

This just is history repeating with the Slav period. Some of the variables are different but its starting to look the same on the pitch. Hecky came in after that I cant see Wilder coming back though. I can just see the COH bringing in the Special one though just the sort of thing they would go for. I just feel so deflated after the last season to this. We are another laughing stock again.

 

[United1889]

I’ve felt much more miserable under the Robson / Weir eras than this but that’s not to say it will stay like that. As long as we get it sorted by November 10th that’s all that matters for now.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Exactly, other managers are available

Dyche apparently…….
