They have ALL made mistakes, JOS in that piece obviously doesn't think the players have so takes no responsibility for our flirtations with relegation, they voted to reimburse supporters for one such capitulation ffs! I can't believe I will have to put up with another two years of this shite....Uh oh.
The Ellis Short apologists aren't going to like that. The board can never be questioned....no matter how crap we are or for how long.
Probably would have lost more games with Cattermole being frozen out some more and Ji still playing.Exactly what i was ganna say, Paolo might have had a bit longer if him and his half whit marras just done as they were told in stead of throwing their toys out the f***ing pram.
He's not saying anything that any reasonable fan hasn't been thinking themselves. We have without doubt underachieved but I think he's wrong to just blame the board and say it's not always the manager's fault because it patently was partly the fault of Di Canio and Poyet. He's right about the player recruitment though.....but then we all know that.
Let's hope it focuses minds at the club on the job ahead and some better decisions are made.
Agreed,however,it would have been more accurate of him to recognise that player attitudes and performances have also contributed. He,along with several others,have failed the club more than once,both on and off the pitch.
While he wasn't exactly flavour of the month with Paolo Catts wasn't fit then was brought on for his last game in charge, so he mightn't have been 'frozen out' for much longer, and Ji didn't start his last two games in charge. Just saying.Probably would have lost more games with Cattermole being frozen out some more and Ji still playing.
All of it and the players none of it?Can't really fault that.
I've been blaming the board for a few years now. They have to accept the responsibility.
Undoubtedly....although I sometimes think the reasons are a bit more complex. I don't think players go out thinking they can't be arsed.....sometimes it's just a combination of poor leadership and direction by the coach and the tension that enters a player's game when you're constantly at the wrong end of the table.....Larsson alluded to that in his post-season interview. It's very tiring mentally and not conducive to free-flowing football.
Well done JOSWhilst what he says is right, it was him who phoned the CEO to get rid of a manager. The hypocrite.
Cattermole was training with the kids all summer and wasn't given a squad number.While he wasn't exactly flavour of the month with Paolo Catts wasn't fit then was brought on for his last game in charge, so he mightn't have been 'frozen out' for much longer, and Ji didn't start his last two games in charge.

All of it and the players none of it?
Did he play in PDC's last game in charge?Well done JOS
