I think they already have lol.
I was all for keeping the manager as I truly felt that last season was an impossible task for anyone. But there really can be no excuses for this season, with immense improvement required. More goals and a clear style.
Two results in 3 doesn't bode well. Our attacking force is out of form and our two centre forwards are raw kids who wouldn't start for anyone else in the division.
I don't see some magic lightswitch going off when Ugarte comes in, and being told it will take months is a concern. That takes us into the dreaded xmas period, when bigwigs start to get uneasy and make big decisions. For his sake there will need to have been a clear upturn before then.

Agree Spenno
My main worrt is that Southgate looks like the manager in waiting for Ineos and he has not really shown great tactical nous.

It’ll be Tuchel guys at Xmas.

I hope not Eric!

I'd take dave basset ahead of the tulip we have.
Ieth makes Southgate look positively exciting
Ieth makes tuchel look like an exciting option
Ieth is the worst option bar ole.

I would take Tuchel if ETH shows no improvement by xmas.

I agree, if he does not improve a lot by then he will be gone and will support whoever is the next guy. My own preference if there was a change would be Nagelsman.
Barada and Ashworth have come out and thrown their support behind him and glad to see that. I think the way the journos are treating him and the type of questions are out of order and uncalled for.
If he does do what I think he is capable of, I will have even more faith in him given what he walked into and what he has had to put up with and the constant barrage, punches and set backs.

Thrown their support behind him, the dreaded vote of confidence?
He is being treated like that by journalists because of what he is doing as a manager, he must improve, that simple. If SJR is sat with head in hands and Schmeichel says SAF was for the want of a better word embarrassed, then improve quick. I see nothing yet to have confidence in him.

I quite liked the last press conference and hearing the questions we're all asking. I think the trophy response is going to be used a lot this season.
