Phipps

[Blade58]

So apparently he's stated tonight that he''s proud of the them

Unfortunately, I think I know where this is headed!

 

[Blade56]

God no, it's only a few games ago his summary was "unacceptable"

Stand back from your twitter account ...................

Not just up to Phipps

They won't sack him.

Unfortunately for us, losing the tie by one goal has given this American clown and his fellow board members the excuse to continue with Clough next season, rest assured.

Hope not.

 

[metalblade]

God help us if they don't sack him, it will put us back 10 years

Could get Bryan Robson back?

 

[chipsncake]

They won't sack him.

I think they will, they have little option. He has completely lost the supporters backing and his position is now untenable

Let's hope Phipps and the management team remain sensible and keep Clough.

Absolutely Swiss. We went toe to toe with another contender. We are clearly not for off of the nucleus of a great team. A couple of central defenders and Davies, I would say.

 

[Blade58]

The calamity defence is down to Clough

He's only had all season to sort it and no cb's amounts to incompetence

That defence looked like a bunch of schoolboys

He has to take responsibility and therefore should go imo

Basham had good words to say about the gaffer.

I've not seen your other posts mate but I'll stick my neck out with you and say- I completely agree

Basham, Beard, Harris, Freeman, Flynn, Murphy, Done, Adams, McNulty and hopefully Davies will be legends next season.

I do feel Coutts will be too, given a decent Summer.

With the right CB pairing, we can be Champions. Changing management now, would only be a big gamble.

And the lunatics would be doing the choosing, leave it be, and let Nige sort it.

Wallace too? Or am I getting carried away?

Murphy wont be here next season.

If Clough is think he might be as well.

It would be a gamble, particularly given we have no guarantee that we'd appoint the right person. That said, unless Clough is able to recognise what needs to be done to get us firmly into the top two, keeping him is also a big gamble. At this current moment in time, I'm not sure which is the bigger gamble.

Because over a full season we've been good enough to finish 5th in lg1 and lose in the play offs?? Biggest budget in the league and can't even get promoted or have a back four that contains a CB?! All great reasons to keep the useless twat..

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Everything is a gamble - its a gamble that Clough won't screw up again, its a gamble that he might actually sign 2 decent centre halves, its a gamble that he won't fall out with players again and leave us high and dry - if it was a case of more of the same I might agree, but it isn't and do you honestly see Clough changing ?

He might have fallen out with players (or he might not have) but those left all have seemed to get on as a squad and all those left seem Ok playing for Clough, even those who have been bench warming.

Perhaps those who have left are bad apples, how would us fans know either way?

 

[raul]

I'd be prepared to listen to the throbbers telling me how ace next season is going to be if they weren't the same throbbers who've told me all this season that everything is awesome. Breaking news- it isn't.

Everything should be up for review here we've finished the season a rag tag and bobtail outfit without a win in five or six.

The board should be reviewing the performance of all with one question asked of all " what can you improve on next season" .

The ones who are left were not up to the job though were they? My point is things need to change (especially mentally) and Clough doesn't do change - he's a one trick pony I am afraid and tactically very limited. I really wish it wasn't so, but I think it is untenable to try and argue that sticking with Clough is a zero risk option. It clearly isn't.

 

[BladeFisher]

Murphy wont be here next season.

Yeah I said that about 6 months ago. I'd be off if I were him.

 

[Jehovah]

That utterly pathetic defence tonight is down to cloughs stubbornness to play certain players and assemble any men that close players down. 12 fucking goals we've conceded this season against Swindon bastarding town. He can go immediately and take his stubborn Mardy concede from every set piece arse with him.
