"putting these traumatised players back together"

Traumatised, really? I've just read about people losing their entire homes in hurricane irma and ethnic cleansing currently happening in Burma. What a surprise - sensationalist bullsheet from The Sun.

May explain things a bit. Suppose have to give SP some credit for realising his mistake and acting swiftly to correct it. Just a pity employed the wrong man in the first place. Lets hope his replacement can steady the ship and get us to 40 points by April.

His best appointments have happened when they were out of work and keen to work in the prem. Pardew was bought out of contract and that was excellent for 12 months. Give him a selection and he hasn't a clue unfortunately. I said, as you know, silva, Dyche, Pellegrino, interviewed in that order.

This is not about the past it is about the future, face facts since SP has been back in PL we have gone from crises to crises, we have no stable management set-up, SP has made and continue to make appalling decisions, all the time making the club more and more unattractive to good manager and players. Frankly his turnover of Managers is a reflection on his people skills and in his own words we are in the results business, yep total agree with that statement so lets look at your performance over the last 4 and bit seasons, too many managers, bad transfer decisions, far to many player arrive sick and unable to string together any game time, waiting far to long to sack Pardew, home record in PL 26 wins from 78 played, to much medaling in football matters when you do not have the necessary skill set, Freedman in as Sporting Director when he can even be a success at management and now the crazy talk of bring in the pensioner who at 70 should be putting his slippers on and forgetting at work, not sure he will even be able to switch computer let a lone use it for tactical reasons!

To go through all this only to possibly bring in Woy, who we f***ing denied the job to before would be absolutely embarrassing.

This has been the epitome of 1 step forward and 2 steps back. To put so much effort into appointing somebody, only to not give them time to do anything before firing them and putting yourself back into the position you were 3 months ago is simply just insane. Insane!

INSANE!

It's the perpetual problem of only being able to tell so much from interview. To be fair FdB was making all the right noises after he was appointed; evolution not revolution, up our possession, build attacks from the back, and I could see why SP would have been taken in by that. It was only when he said our squad was ideal for 3-4-3 that the alarm bells started to ring. Plus de Boer has a rather odd managerial CV, being basically a one club man and at a club that's a very big fish in a tiny pond. And he could pass his short spell at Inter off as a blip (although good luck to him doing that with two blips).
