Terrible manager



Yeah sacking managers has worked so well for us.

KLD has outlined his plan for the club but yeah let’s tear that up after 3 months.

Rectifying the clusterfuck that has been SAFC over the last decade will take time and I’m more than willing to put faith into KLD and his hires - the club needs to embrace it, including the fans.

fine but we're in the third tier with tier players and we had a skint owner.

Any managers showing consistent ability to improve players and send out winning teams aren't f***ing about in League 1 . It's a problem for KLD to solve but being a data driven organisation means we shouldn't be relying on key individuals.

That's the thing though. Whilst I think the talk of sacking him now is slightly premature, the odd game aside there's been little to no improvement in performances since Parkinson left.

In fairness, that’s his job description. If it was believed that Parkinson was maximising the potential of the squad we had it would be unfair sacking him. We nearly all wanted him gone with the belief that a replacement would improve the situation. Johnson hasnt. Our PPG record is now worse than it was when he arrived, we’re further adrift of the top two than when he arrived and he’s brought in four of his own players in January.

That has been said about every f***ing manager we have had over the last 6/7 years. All have had to be sacked when it was too late. Johnson should never have been appointed. Has has done nothing in his career to suggest he was the right man. I have given him leeway as he had us on a good run, even though performances were dire. He’s proved now he hasn’t got a clue. My leeway has ended, he needs binning and whoever appointed him excluded from appointing the next manager.
