I just don't get this vitriol toward Coleman...

Wishing he had gone elsewhere now.
The bottom line is his record in club management is very poor
and irrespective of not have any funds ,his tactical nous,and motivational skills and player judgement has been poor and his record for us is absolutely dross
He may be a good media communicator but managers live or die by results alone
 
FFS he could have gone anywhere. He had zero to spend in the transfer window and it really looks like the players are actually responding in the last 4 or 5 games. Next season in league one he is exactly the kind of manager we need...a "big" name and a motivator. The players we will have next season (minus the big ego twats who will go, thank fuck) will hopefully respond to someone who has actually played and managed at a level way above League 1. Get behind him.....I can't believe I'm posting this as I'm normally a right miserable twat.
Next season will be the same as this season; no money, so it’ll be the same old same old with a few new loanees.
 
Agree that hopefully he can get the right sort of characters in who will respond to him.

Very worried that the usual suspects keep getting selected and the defence seems no better.

Still, overall performances have been better and the time to come into a club is when it's at its lowest ebb and try to pick it up. All depends on next year's budget though.

Coleman has led us to bottom of the division and effectively relegated us. He's signed one of the worst keepers in living memory (and continues to pick him rather than acknowledge his mistake) and we've conceded the second most goals in all four divisions.

And the OP can't fathom why some dislike him :)
 
Unfair comparison. I’ll wager keegan had more to spend that season than Coleman had this.
He bought kilkline for £100,000 to shore up the defence, a good manager can see straight away where the problems lie. He would still be playing billy jones if he wasn’t injured

This he has taken us down, he was brought in to keep us up. Failure

£ 1000,000 more than Coleman then. And was NUFC doing it’s very best to destroy itself ?

Absolutely astonishing the excuses made for Coleman on here.
Bottom line is that the squad he has is easily capable of mid - table in this shite league.
On form he'd still be relegating us if the season had started when he joined.
His tactics, team selection and substitutions have been diabolical for 90% of his time with us.
The support he gets on here is a total embarrassment for a manager taking us into the 3rd tier.

You've got a fair few likes, so many do agree with you, but a lot there I disagree with:

Why could he have gone anywhere? His last task was not even getting top seeds Wales into a top 2 and playoff position with a group containing Serbia, Ireland and Austria, so his stock is much lower than when he picked a side that beat Belgium 2 years ago.

Zero to spend, maybe, but I don;t see Phil Parkinson breaking the bank balance at newly promoted Bolton, a team we have to catch and are 6 points clear of us (they were 1 point clear of us when Coleman came in).

Players actually responding? Literally 20 games too late. What about the 10 games prior to those 4 or 5 games? I'll write those out for you:

Birmingham A - L
Ipswich H - L
Bristol A - D
Brentford H - L
Bolton A - L
Boro H - D
Millwall A - D
Villa H - L
QPR A - L
Preston H - L

Pretty much all shite, no wins, and 3 (three) points from a possible 30. Had we got say 4 or 5 more points there, which would still have been a very poor return, we might just have got out of this and it was largely the same players as now, yet he got a pass, because these players that are suddenly magically playing better, were deemed 'not good enough' by his backers on here.

I think I'd rather have someone with the experience of League One next season rather than this 'motivator' with a modest at best club managerial record. He's been a disaster and if we are all honest, far worse than anyone was expecting.

P26 W5 D8 L13 F25 A43 GD-18 PTS23 PPG 0.88

He's been here over 5 months now and has had more than half a season, yet we are in a much worse position in the league than when he came in. I hope he leaves.
 
We have only started playing better since he was forced through injury to play a back 4. Why the fuck didn't he change it months ago when we were getting battered week in and week out instead of saying something along the lines of 'Someone asked me to change it and I was right'?
Because, up until a few weeks ago when the players decided to put up a bit of a fight and look interested, we were getting battered with a back 4 as well
