Difference is Sam needed the time as he had a team that had barely won for a year and needed to be turned round so it would take time and we would have to wait.

Frank has taken no time at all to dismantle the spirit and confidence of a squad that as you say has players good enough to get results.
Now it seems Frank has to be given time to put right what he has done wrong.
We must all hope he knows what to do in the time he is given.

So you don't think having our arses handed to us by Huddersfield 0-3 on opening day, then losing to Swansea 0-2 is a bad thing.

The point your missing is that AP had almost, but not quite, f***ed us up beyond redemption. BFS came in (I have laboured this point over and over again but it doesn't seem to register) and stated categorically that the squad was "not Fit Enough" and would take at least until "February or March to reap the benefits of his methods" true to his word, we beat Arsenal Chelsea and Liverpool and gained safety by a comfortable(ish) margin.

My point is that we were fine playing the way we were, there is/was no need to go to 3-4-3 we are not Chelsea, even Inter game the elbow. As a manager he has taken us backwards. I know it's only 3 games, but it's the manner and the playing style in those defeats that concerns me. Against Huddersfield in the second half I was reminded of a game under Peter Taylor were McAnuff looked at the bench and shrugged his shoulders, clearly not having a clue how and where he was supposed to be playing.

That said, I do believe he is a genuine guy who believes in himself, but he has to, for the love of God and my sanity ditch the three at the back bo11ocks or he will be sacked if we lose to Burnley.

As a foot note, under BFS I think we would already be on 7 points.

When you out say publicly backed, are you talking some statement that guarantees Frank in the job regardless? Are you also saying you don't agree with what Parish said regarding it 'being a results business, Frank knows that, and it you don't get results, well...'

Earlier in the thread you posted: 'Parish should of come out and backed him. Writing on the wall unfortunately.'

My reply was:

You could argue he has backed him, but what Frank wants to do takes 3 Windows so Frank now has 7 CB's, a few players he's deluding himself can play wing back and a fvck up from parish or both of them for only 1 striker.

The problems all stem from rushing and formation we can't play. If anyone thinks £40 mil can achieve that they're lying or thick. In fact it would've been £45 mil if we did sign Niasse.

So is it financially or publicly in a position where the stakes are high and the show has been pretty far from promising, because I'm at a loss what Parish should specifically do right now or should've done. The planning, strategy and organisation of football affairs leaves a lot to be desired but with regards to 'backing Frank', I'm not sure what this is really saying. It's like that other lazy and poorly worded claim of 'lack' of funds, which there isn't, so is again more bs.

You say to media that reports of 1 game to save the job are nonsense, we had a meeting but how the club going forward, we both agree and frank will have time, otherwise why give him a 3 yr deal.

You missed the point, every post isn't in colleration to you. My post was replying to willow about it's just 'new fans' that want success too soon. When you chairman not denying constant media rumours about the manager future. I guess his mind made up. I didn't mention about financial backing in this thread.

Is it right, fair or reasonable that de Boar should be sacked after just 4 games??
What a ridiculous pressure on him and the players that must make our club the laughing stock of football, given that he was selected after some 6 weeks of careful consideration by SP and the board.
What does it say about SP's judgment??
