Weird rumour doing the rounds on the cardigan wearing site that one of their ITKs reckons that Tim is on the verge of leaving but no because of results, recruitment or being pushed out just that he is on the verge and the bloke can’t say anymore than that due to legal reasons.

Yeah I don’t get it either.

For his time at Porto, but the time he last did well was only 2 years ago when he was in a title race with Sevillaz after winning the Europa League Trophy. 

His body of decent work spans 15 years since the days he won shit with Spains youths.

Porto 1st season

Sevilla 1st season
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2 ... _FC_season  

It shows his methods take time to bed in but once they do they produce quality Football and results over the remainder of the season. Sevilla in his 1st season in charge went on to win the Europa League in style whilst beating Roma, Man Utd and Inter Milan in the Final, as well as get them regualrly qualifying for the Champions League in 4th and in a title race in his last full season in charge until injuries hit scuppering his chances. 

Same again in his Porto 1st season, he starts off slow before eventually picking it up 2nd half of the season narrowly missing out on a League title (Porto have only won it 3 times in the past 11 seasons), as well as get knocked out the Champions League Quarter-Final to Guardiolas side, even though he won the 1st Leg tie and reaching the League Cup Semi's.  

So pretty much in every new season he begins, he starts off slowly but once the season progresses, the quality of Football significantly improves, as does the results.  

All I'm saying is give the geezer space and time to sort out what he sees going wrong and to finally mould it into a Team both he and the fans ultimately want which is entertaining quality Football with decent results to go with it.

ALl said that doesn't mean he is above criticism from me and hasn't made mistakes.
I think he's tried to run before he can walk and should have been a bit more pragmatic at first, got to know the squad, get a bit of consistency, build confidence and team spirit and earn their respect.
We're way too open and exposed and it's making some players especially Alvarez look terrible.
We need to be more compact, work harder and stick to the basics, we have enough quality to get results from a solid base.
Then he can gradually implement a different style if he wants to or adapt tactics to suit the opposition. 
Also thought he would have made Kilman captain seeing as he bought him at any cost, not Bowen
I've never been a fan of the best player automatically being the captain, especially if they're an attacker.

Ahh and as if by uncanny coincidence, the creepy stalker THUNDERCUNT arises.

Notice the deflection when he calls me " creepy stalker" but not a liar. Clearly Not wRong.

Wrong. I stated that we will be battling relegation as long as 'loser Lop' remains in post. I stand by that.

but we’re not battling relegation anymore than Manchester United are.
You also said we’d lose to Man United 4-1.

LJC wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024, 21:07 I can’t see him getting to the end of the season if we carry on the path we are on. Lose to Everton and I reckon he is gone. Rumours of having a manger lined up that is free and been here before but also ticks the glamour box for Sullivan seem to be being reported a little too much.

Thing is you claimed Lop is a loser and a shit manager which judging by his record with Spain at 3 different levels, and his record at Sevilla, plus the job he did in not only keeping Wolves up but getting them above us from a position of rock bottom at Xmas says he isn't a loser.
Even if he fails with us which he hasn't yet it still doesn't mean he's a loser, it just means that it didn't work out with us.
There are plenty of very good managers who have failed at clubs, and plenty who have had one good or bad season followed by a bad or good one.
Even the greatest managers haven't got it right at every club they managed.
He's not going anywhere soon unless something dramatic happens so let's see where we are at the end of the season.
