O'Neill's time was up but give him credit for dealing with our defence, our goal difference was respectable, if only we could have scored more goals. Look at it now, we could never score enough goals to win a game.

One of the very few positives from his time here. There was the odd game where we looked a shambles defensively but never as consistently as we have done since he left.
 
A lot of people talked about needing a revolution and a change in culture. Sadly they didn't have the courage to stick with pdc when he would have delivered it. Maybe we would of went down but we needed to hold our nerve.

Using the guidelines that others are (none) PDC was NOT getting it right. The signings are woeful (but he is not responsible) he sold Sessegnon (but he is not responsible) we are bottom of the league (but he is not responsible). We lost 6-1 ro Villa and haven't won a league game since( but PDC is not responsible). The man simply wasn't up to coaching a Premier League club.[DOUBLEPOST=1382271170][/DOUBLEPOST]

Do you not think that he might have known something and was making the best of what we had. He knew it couldn't be done on a shoestring.

Alex Ferguson with pep guardiola couldn't win a game with the players we have. The blame shouldn't lie at pdc's door. Given time (and possibly a relegation and promotion) pdc would of gradually dilluted the player power and initiated change. We needed to hold our nerve but too many knee jerkers, like your good self, put pay to that.
 
"never heard anyone criticise PDC"

f***ing hell

the only time he didn't cop any shit was after the newcastle game

he copped it all through his spell

he cops it still now

if only some thick fuckers would give the daily mirror away

and not listen to the madman shyte

a disciplinarian yes

cleaning up oneil and bruces shyte

players along for the ride who are along for the ride again

taking the piss out of supporters

This is the biggest load of shite ive heard today like. He still played the majority of players signed by them too.

He still spent £30 million last season, so it's not like he wasn't backed.

Although considering that we had only signed 2 veterans on free transfers by the time we played Arsenal on the opening day, I think Short and O'Neill had quite different opinions on the quality of the squad we had. Putting that aside though, O'Neill's attitude and commitment to training was a shambles and for me, played a massive part in the player power situation we have now.

If he's not responsible for signing players and has little input into it, then how can you even assume he would do that? It's based on nothing tbh. He showed no signs here he was capable of organising a team, nevermind building one. How is one man going to change the way football is with regards player power? What absolute nonsense.

I wish we had a board, or whoever runs the club these days, that of running a football club with a little more efficiency.

Spot on.

Anyone who decided to play McClean right-wing more than once is quite clearly out of their depth tactically. Just one of a number of bizarre tactical decisions he made in his time here.

442 and press them high up the pitch, that was about the sum total of what we saw here from PDC. We were tidy in approach, but lacked penetration going forward. Pressing high up the pitch also exposes some of our limtations at the back, he didn't really get it right in any area of the pitch with regards setting the team up and we're supposed to believe if we'd held our nerve he'd have got it right?
 
i'm not writing poyet off at all

i hope he has enough balls for it

but really

its mission imfuckingpossible now
Other than pointing a lot and going mental with his discipline, tactically, what did you see in PDC's work that made you think he was worth keeping hold of?

For me he made numerous changes to the starting line up week in week out and made half time substitutions, meaning he'd made an arse of his tactics.

He lambasted his players in public, which wouldn't have endeared them to him what soever.

He didn't use the transfer window well enough and in shared responsibility with Di Fanti got it horribly wrong.

He froze out our club captain who is clearly our best midfielder.
 
We've been shite for years man; the summer past was just the death throe.
 
What tune is that to mate? Starts off like 'i will survive' but I'm not sure it fits the context.
For once, we had hope, revolution time.
The club was vibrant and for once was in the public eye.
We could have hit so many heights,
We could have challenged the top four.
But there was just one f***ing problem:
This club's rotten to the core.

So Paolo's sacked, thrown out the door.
And replaced with a bloke who likes to shit upon the floor.
He should have changed that stupid team, he should have crapped on Bardo's head.
But he didn't, and we lost, and now Manish is dead ahead.

Oh not, not we, we won't survive.

Well done, deserves credit! :lol:
 
well it looks like there were even more against di canio than i thought

possibly up to 80% hence no protests when he was sacked

he was fucked from the start

and most people didn't have the nerve for him to sort our toxic players out

even going down with his way would have been a better way then we will go down now

this weekends game against the mags is going to be really f***ing enjoyable

perhaps a bardsley hat trick

of own goals for them

how f***ing many years will di canio get the blame for?
