Now is the time for Clough to go

[yuley82]

According to his post match interview, the games are catching up with us now (I thought that's we had a squad the size of Fleetwood's average home attendance) and we looked dead on our feet. He also said poor performance nothing do to with him because there is nothing he can do from the touchlines and indicated play-offs were the height of our ambitions.
Peterborough have just sacked their manager and won 3 out of 3 and the Dingles have sacked theirs and won 5 out of 5, so a case can be made for getting rid of Clough now.

Nothing he can do from touch line? Why fucking stand there then???

Even if we don't go up?

Yep, I'd give him until Christmas. Though the reality is I'm past the point of caring now. I've seen enough to know he's never going to play a style of football that really entertains me. So if they pulled the trigger at the end of the season I wouldn't care.


The reality is, when we make the change it will be another unemployed manager, who will have to pass a nicenest test, protect the ethos, not be associated with direct football, and any focus on track record and winning will be second fiddle. 5 years later on, many are still hell bent of apologising for our past. Given that, it's hard to be excited either way.

it all depends if you are typing with one hand and eating a Beres with the other.

The extremes in all manner of life need challenging - your Clough Out now is an extreme view and it has been challenged - nothing more, nothing less.

Oh and by the way - if I see you "supporting" the club on other posts with interesting and meaningful debate as against the pathetic attempt in a minority of 1 with Clough out NOW, then I will be the first to apologise.

Oooooo Fulwood you seem to have gone quiet, it seems Beres will be quite busy. Don't try and say you just challenged my view you first accused me of not being a blade and second inferred I was a Wednesday fan. Well let's see you dishing out the insults to the others on here who think Clough should go.

The reason I and I suspect a few on here don't post very often is because knuckle draggers like you insult people because of a different point of view. If you think the 20000 + who support sufc all have the same views then your as thick as I think.

I was there with my boy today. The positive is he enjoyed it and wanted to come again. From my perspective it was quite possibly the worst game of football I have witnessed in 40 years of watching us. Considering the squad, our level and our opposition I can think of Murphy, Davies (who I thought did well) Done and Basham worthy of positive note. The rest were beyond poor and Baxter was a large waste of a shirt.

A note for the pitch which is like a ploughed field. I'm sorry you have to go direct on a pitch like that because I lost count of the God awful bobbles and deviations the ball took.

After today I question Clough beyond the end of this season, and that's because it's not advisable to change now. We look devoid of spirit, confidence, character and ability to actually play football at even the most basic level. A u turn in massive terms from me but jesus Christ that was humiliating.

I'd give Clough in to next season, but the length of time would partly depend on who was available.

Warbuton's Brentford seem to play the way I like to see the game played.

Most sensible post around that is Alco.

Great to hear father and son going together and he enjoyed it.

Agree with most of what you say but Barnsley and Peterborough sacking their managers disproves your point. Big risk but would rather see him walk now after today's performance and both is pre and post match interviews showing he is in total denial.

Until today I thought it best to sack him if we didn't get promotion, now we are struggling for a play off spot we have to do something, doing nothing is not an option.

not only that sheffielder, if it does go tits up this season or next, how the fuck are we to get rid of the dead wood. Took ages to get rid of the last lot.

No problem - Cloughy comes and buys them for the next team he manages

All comes with supporting your team highs and lows

that's ok but I have been.on valium for most of the last 43 years

Clough can still be the right man for the job if he is willing to take a long, hard look at himself.

He needs to ask himself what seperates us from the likes of Bristol City? A team of similar stature, with similar resources and similar ambitions. I would argue that Cotterill has got Brizzle playing with freedom. Our players look terrified to make a mistake, perhaps Butler and Collins were made examples of players who made mistakes and paid the price.

The cautious, safety first approach is strangling us especially at home.
