Title: Time for Dickov to go
Post by: Rovers-on-Thames on November 06, 2013, 07:35:29 pm
The honey moon period is well and truly over.

What the Oldham fans told us is coming true. We had the opportunity to get a result out of a poor performance on Saturday and what happened? He just hasn't got that tactical know how to get results in tight games. His team-set ups at times have been suicidal but we got away with it against rusty teams at the start of the season. He signed too many midfielders which means injuries to players in other areas leaves us automatically short. A man who is more interested in waxing his hair and whitening his teeth than instilling a sense of passion into the players is not the man to take this club forward.

The man to replace him: Gary Megson (A man with a magical influence on players, knowledge of local football and who puts his personal appearance second to the needs of the club)

As an honourable Scot he should walk away from the job with his dignity in tact. Back when I was the CEO for a well known fortune 500 company I eventually had to walk away myself as we had just become so dominant in the market a new regulatory body was set up to control our activities. I was headhunted by an international charity and raised record amounts of money. I don't really like the brag out it but that moved ultimately saved thousands of lives.

Time for Dickov to do the same thing and leave.

I have wracked my brains trying to think of a way to respond to that post without being abusive.

And I failed. So here goes.

Don't be so f***ing daft, and grow up a bit Mick.

Can't tell if this is some kind of joke or not? I don't think failing to instill a lack of passion is something you could accuse Dickov of. Did you ever see him play? As someone who says they were CEO of a major company, do you really think knee jerk descisions are wise?
We are not even half way through the season, have had a torrid run of games to start out campaign and Dickov has had to implement his footballing philosophy on the team. Oh and don't forget, we have the second lowest budget in the division and his two big signings (MDV and Forrester) have not been able to play yet due to injury.
Give the man a chance. We might have conceded 11 in 3, but at least he has got a pair of b*llocks to have a go at the opposition. It won't work every week, but he is making a go of it with the limited squad he has at his disposal.
You Sir, are a first class fool.

Haven't seen you around for a time R-o-T, have you been away saving the world on a secret UN mission or something? I thought you were in Uganda saving whales? Or was it Wales saving Ugandans? You never did get back to me about your time at British Cycling, just to see if it was around the time I was involved with them too and if we know one another.....
.......or the name of the oil tanker you captained...

It seems like the only job you have never done is manage a football club, anyone would think you were trying to angle an opportunity?

Then again reading your insights on the game you appear to know nothing about it.

It's not Mick, he's some other WUM, that has a penchant for learning swahili, as well as being a former world renowned fashion designer and Ships Captain with a feminine touch thats spends a lot of time in Kenya. I've probably missed some other bullshit he's come out with in the past, but he's definitely not Mick

I do have a pilots license, but i don't think that is relevant to the discussion.

bst - for someone who doesn't find me funny and generally has a low opinion of me you seem intent on pointing out that fact. Is that strange? You have a beautifully virile tongue and command of language however. I like you.

I look at it this way - i should ultimately be rewarded for the service i offer to the forum. People can vent their anger on me and i will take it. I think its called bravery.

He just hasn't got that tactical know how to get results in tight games. His team-set ups at times have been suicidal but we got away with it against rusty teams at the start of the season. He signed too many midfielders which means injuries to players in other areas leaves us automatically short. A man who is more interested in waxing his hair and whitening his teeth than instilling a sense of passion into the players is not the man to take this club forward.

The man to replace him: Gary Megson (A man with a magical influence on players, knowledge of local football and who puts his personal appearance second to the needs of the club)

As an honourable Scot he should walk away from the job with his dignity in tact. Back when I was the CEO for a well known fortune 500 company I eventually had to walk away myself as we had just become so dominant in the market a new regulatory body was set up to control our activities. I was headhunted by an international charity and raised record amounts of money. I don't really like the brag out it but that moved ultimately saved thousands of lives.

Time for Dickov to do the same thing and leave.
