I don't even think it will be about that. More to do with what we would imagine he'd have been promised in terms of players. Obviously we don't know.
I think even if we picked up a couple of points between now and the end of the window, if he feels he's been let down he might not fancy a long winter of hard slog.
We'll see soon enough.

Personally I'm beginning to wonder if short hasn't given dick a remit of sorting the mess behind the scenes out clearing the decks for the new man in 12 months time to start with a clean slate and no baggage or is that just wishful thinking,short carnt be that daft not to realise he's made mistakes re player power and in recruitment and wages contracts etc so maybe dicks the hatchet man.
 
I have to say that I don't like Dicks approach recently.

I'm sure there are people on here giving it the "get in Dick, get the feckers telt"

But to me he's on the way to pissing off every single squad member.

PvA needs help and coaching, not the manager saying he's considering getting someone else in public.
He's gone on about Defoe not being the right type of striker.
He's hauled Cattermole off at half time.
And now saying that anyone who wants to go can go. No matter how you dress it up he did say it.

Not good if you ask me. Not good at all.

Needs to keep his feelings under wraps and crack on.
 
Probs best

Of course its a good thing, the overpaid bunch of twats need a good kick up the arse. If they cant take some criticism then they should hang up their boots.

There may be an element of truth in it but I can't see why that would tempt Dick out of retirement though.

Have to be honest, can not argue with a single point here.

I tend to agree with you. I don't recall any teams getting out of the shit when the manager is being so openly critical of his squad of players. It should be kept behind closed doors.

This will end badly and I would be very surprised if DA is still here at the end of September. He was the right man to keep us up but that was it, he should have gone with his head held high.

Where's that gotten us with this lot in the past?

The club should have stood firm when the twats started complaining about PDC. "If you don't like it, we'll happily tear your contract up....otherwise get on with it" might have been a good way to clear the decks.

There is no "right man" to do anything but keep us up. The club needs a complete overhaul and decent investment in new players. That's the beginning and the end of it.

You don't like the fact he is stating fact?

PVA isn't good enough, all the pundits saying he looks promising only seen him on match of the day, he was piss poor last season if you cant defend you wont make it in the premier league.
Defoe isn't the right type of striker, that's obvious.
Cattermole deserved taking off and he needs selling
They can all go, theyre a f***ing embarrassment and we need O Shea, Cattermole, Johnson, Larsson, Fletcher, Graham out of the club irrelevant of what league we are in next season. Theres obvious a problem with professionalism, Di Canio called it, now Advocaat has touched on it, for all I hate the Secret footballer he also mentions it.

Why do some of our fans always blame those trying to improve us yet have undivided loyalty to those who continually under perform?
 
He's trying to play the bad cop like Van Gaal at Man United. Difference is though Van Gaal has saleable assets who he can say is for sale and other clubs will still want them as they'll still be a cut above what they've got, but not to Van Gaals standards. We've got players that'll be difficult to shift for a profit let alone shift full stop

It will be even harder to shift them when we are in the Championship and clubs try their best to get a bargain.

Expect Cattermole to go for sub 3m next season mark my words.

I don't disagree but for now he needs to stop a sinking ship and I'm not sure he's going the right way about it.
