He has had an awfullly long time to make progress particularly in defence and has failed to do so. And likewise on the fitness fromt which is shocking. There is not even the slightest indication that there is any sort of a coherent plan in place when a game kicks off. It is quite simply not acceptable and giving more time to the person reposnible is now not the answer IMO
If more time is to be given it should be to de boer at palace
The Daves have been more than fair to him thus far, and backed him further when previous transfers of Slavs choosing have failed lamentably.
A new manager and offload ac and mn.
The club needs to take conscious steps to move forward instead of drifting aimlessly along with no pattern or shape to our play.
He will then be puzzled why they don't perform and decide they want to leave the club.
him. ;hmm
Second favourite is Roberto Mancini (11/2) although why he should quit Zenit St Petersburg when they're top of the Russian League and are currently the 2nd highest ranked team in the Europa League to come here is beyond me.
On 8-1 we have Simone Inzaghi who is unlikely to leave Lazio unless forced out and Fulham's Slavisa Jankovic. Marco Bielsa is on 9-1 but he only joined Lille in May
Eddie Howe is in there at 11-1, Roger Schmidt of Beijing Sinobo Guoan on 12-1 with Alan Pardew, Roy Hodgson and Marseille's Rudi Garcia all on 14-1.
After that it just gets silly with Ryan Giggs, Brendan Rogers and others.....
Also, if you're gonna ridicule the bloke at least end with a ;lol or something, the other thing I noticed on social media now is many of our fans trying to "hound" Noble out with just sheer abuse, not on imo but a WHU trait for some of our fans unfortunately.
Would Rafa work for these two? Or perhaps he would convince some players to come? Still that doesn't help with us struggling to get the real big signings over the line last couple of summers
I think SB will still be here and he will get a results against Huddersfield,
I didn't want him when he nearly came to us before and was very pleased Real swooped in when they did.
I didnt want Bilic either but am gutted it appears not to be working.
I do really hope we play much better against Huddersfield and get a win, that we turn some sort of a corner. I do though think the writing is very much on the wall.
So time for everyone at the club and its supporters to pull together and hope we notch our first three points v huddersfield.
Even though he was supposedly hours away from signing according to Sully I have my doubts about certain things that our chairmen say. Just my opinion that's all.
Barracks well said. I'm almost willing 6 points from the next two games just to see how many in our fanbase react
There is also certainly no entertainment in the way Slav's team plays either.
As for Noble he was finished at the top level a while ago.
Re Noble that's your opinion but less that two years ago he was doing the business, very few did well last season. But you miss my point, it's the way the fans are laying into him not that he shouldn't be removed from the side
How is that funny?
You want him out I get it, you want to end to all things rubbish about WHUFC fine.
I'll carry on backing the manager until o see that there is absolutely no hope and he's been given every chance.
That's where we differ, it's okay it's just opinions
;ok
Slaven has had an awful lot to deal with during his time at WHUFC, I would argue that he has arguably presided over the 2 most challenging and important seasons in the clubs history- the last season at the Boleyn and the first at the OS with all the baggage that entailed; in addition, our best player leaving and a debilitating injury list throughout clearly has a knock on effect around planning/structure/identity, etc which can only come though consistency and being able to work with a settled squad.Things are improving and when things are settled we have a very good squad and first 11.
It isnt about whether BFS or Pulis' approach is better or whatever because inherently it is simply not right for WHU; That is why BFS left after doing good work, that is why we currently have 50k season ticket holders and that is why despite Pulis' impressive work there are always empty seats at WBA. We have to move away from this battle of ideologies as though it is simply one or the other. Pulis and BFS reduce football to its simplest- football is a game of mistakes and their entire approach is to reduce as many as possible; thats fair enough but it comes at a cost within the wider footballing spectrum as shown by BFS time at the club.
Now is the time to get behind the manager, the coaching staff and players because , the alternative of new manager, new coaching staff, new players, new everything! would only be another short term approach, undoing all the work of previous seasons. Slaven is a great man, a WHU man, a very accomplished manager and a very intelligent man; If given support he will get us back on track and we can still have a great season, it is after all 3 games in and have had to play all away from home + the red card vs Saints. I will leave you with this: during slavens first season we finished 7th- 4 points off 4th. Last season we finished 11th- 1 point off 8th. Whilst they dont provide all the context and colour, nonetheless within the context of WHU's history, Slaven has done very well. Get behind him. ;bowdown ;bowdown ;bowdown ;bowdown
We have a better squad now but there is no style or to me also any game plan it's just a total mess.
I don't particularly want Slav to leave I quite like him as a man etc.
What I really don't understand is why we are such a rubbish football team when we should be much better with the players we have .
Last season after our first 6 games we had 3 points
Lost to Chelsea, City, Watford, WBA and Saints only beating Bournemouth
I can live with no points in August, I expect September to be different especially against WBA when we'll hopefully have everyone available. Antonio, Lanzini and Arnautovic playing behind Hernandez should be something quite enjoyable.
