Question for COYI

[Archie111]

A short while ago, you posted on here that you were fed up that any topic degenerated into name calling and abuse, rather than a genuine debate.  So I have a non abusive, genuine question for you.

We know your views on Lopetegui's appointment, and most of us will agree it was underwhelming. My question is why you go missing on here after a win?  Does your need to feel validated in your opinion of him override any happiness and positivity you might feel after a night like last night?

I'm honestly interested in your response.

Bidirectional - Is that another demographic the Jaguar Gurus are hoping to attract?

The foe option is fine. The ability to eliminate bickering from threads works well.

I believe you can just "Foe" him. Then you'll never hear from him again.

I’m not sure it works like that. At least it didn’t up until 2 weeks ago. Anyone you ‘foe’ can still see and reply to your posts. But you won’t see their posts. It seems flawed. 

It's unfortunately just the solution the software offers. I'm trying to find something to make it bidirectional, but it's not an easy change. 

Totally understand. Thanks for the explanation.

I have a question for COYI:

Have you ever kissed a girl?

Question for H&P:

Do you own a mirror?

The system is just fine.

If I foe someone, I just don’t want to read any more of their turgid shite. Don’t give a toss whether they can see my posts and I especially like to see the posts of those who have foed me when they are having a hissy.

...but I'll reply to the original post with my own perspective.

I'd imagine it's because COYI has managed to form a culture around themselves of polarised aggression with his relentless self righteous myopic view on the manager.

His whole, "he's a useless cսnt and look how right I am about it since day 1" schtick is tedious but hard to challenge after the latest comprehensive defeat, but (understandably) then builds an aggressive counter-riposte after a victory because no one likes a big head know it all with an 'i told you so' demeanour.

It's the equivalent of being the 'big man' in the playground, calling the shots and giving it the big I am, until the bigger kid from our of town comes to visit, when you suddenly have somewhere else to be, until that awkward moment passes.

Like all things it's not as black and white as COYI would have us believe. Lopetegui has his strengths, and his weaknesses, and it's likely we're just a bad fit.  He's not a 'loser' or the worst manager in existence. He's had successes in his career with the right players at his disposal. But he's a 'purist' manager with a philosophy, and not a jack of all trades.  His whole gameplan is based on control of the ball and game in central midfield....and we don't have the midfield to achieve that as of now. So anyone with a midfield better capable of that is going to pump us (to COYI's delight given the extreme viewpoint he's painted).

So in response to COYI. Well done mate...you called it. He's a bad fit as things stand. Can he turn it around and find a way to make it work? Maybe.  Can his method with our squad work against some of the less powerful sides? Maybe.  Can our players learn and adapt to do the things he wants them to successfully? Maybe. Is it an overnight conversion? Hell no. Is he the worst manager to ever work in the game? Hell no. 

But COYI only has one very polarised statement to make so after a win, that doesn't play. I respect his view. I don't think it's as clear cut or simple as he makes out. In the same way Pellegrini wasn't a terrible manager, but struggled at our place.

We have to face it we have a culture, an expectations and a status that is almost a case of "fuck ups will follow". It's in built, and goes back as long as I can remember...since way before Sullivan etc.  Even the song is one of hope followed by collapse.  

We need a winner to come in at boardroom level who refuses to accept the historic failings of the club as it's future state. Managers can't change that aura on their own. 

Anyway, I'm rambling away from the topic. But COYI we all know why he's not here after a win....his narrative doesn't play well, and he's not here for that. 

For those that are bored of his schtick...just block him.  For those that want to call him out...just wait for the threads he's posting on and offer the counter argument to his banal 'loser lop' vitriol.

I think a good question for COYI, is given the constraints that Sullivan has self imposed...Premier League experience, managerial experience and previous success, and free...who would you have hired that meets those criteria that wasn't Lopetegui...especially if you accept Moyes had run his course?

Talking about what you'd do (e.g. Amorim) if operating outside of those constraints is pointless because we have the owner we have.

From my perspective my frustration is Sullivan. Given the constraints Sullivan imposes on his selections, Lopetegui was an ok appointment I think. It's not working out (yet). It might still do, but because of what he needs to work, what we have, and what Moyes left us....it looks a long road.

Sent myself to sleep writing that. Fuck it I'll hit submit anyway.

But that's not the desire, right? The desire is to be 'proven right' and conduct some kind of point scoring, 'funny' public witchhunt shaming.  

"Come talk to us COYI, in all seriousness, so we can have a massive 'youre a cսnt' pile on". 

Imagine my surprise the bait hasn't been taken with relish!

Why not send him a PM, rather than spamming up the board with this garbage?

[Archie111]

COYI, I see you are predictably back on the site after a loss.  Please can you answer my question.

[Massive Attack]

Probably still attending an FA* Meeting consoling Moyes.

Has anyone heard from COYI.... do you think he's stood on a ledge somewhere contemplating life without a possible relegation battle?
