Those significant funds…

You can see there is something there with Barlow. You can also see why at a younger age group where physicality not same distinguisher, he was playing for Man Utd and England age group.

You can also see how he probably won’t be with us next season. No physicality and even within this side of lightweights he is despite his obvious talent, not able to enforce himself.

If you don’t think it’s any different when the bloke who’s actually putting the cash in then you’re never going to be happy.
The poor bloke is just getting abuse for trying to give you a better football team.
When he doesn’t need to, after reading all the shite on here I wouldn’t be surprised if he changed his mind

It's not the guy putting the money in getting the stick.

It's the decisions what to do with the money that is the problem.

I was replying to someone who suggested this was no different to blunt saying we would bounce back decisively.
It’s a lot different

I think its got to a point where some of these apologists for the lacklustre coach need to actually look at the facts, regardless of who he puts out on the field the results are not changing, why? pure and simply his attitude to his "process"

When you have someone as blinkered as this as your coach then you just hope to god that he has the quality of player to make some sort of difference, but here's the rub.

Regardless of who he plays the whole team become some sort of bewildered rabbit in the headlights, they can't pass, run , receive a throw in, cross a ball and shoot with their weaker foot, why? because he's totally brainwashed the team into a system that they know will not work for them, we are turning half decent players for this level into some sort of park players who cannot be relied upon to perform even the bare basics, that's what his "process "has done to this team.

The worst thing though is that with him in situ whoever we manage to get into the club will become a paid up member of his remarkable talent of ruining players for life, 'im just mindful of the mental damage he's doing to our young talent with his forced and unyielding system.

TB has come out and tried to stem this endemic of biblical proportions that we now have in front of us, he needs to complete the task by relieving the people who are throwing his legacy away on the football side and unfortunately if that includes a club legend then so be it.

Owners, players ands mangers come and go but for the club the only constant is the supporters, after this sad episode has finally past we will still be here, listen to your audience because without them this all ends.

cracking post. Couldn’t have put it better myself. I love the word ‘apologists’. All those supporting DS can only find excuses for him and nothing positive to say as to why he’s the outstanding candidate to take us forward.
 If we made a list of positive and negative points about DS, the list of negatives would fill a book, as the positives you could just put on the back of a postage stamp of there were actually any at all.

Superb post to sum up most peoples thoughts.

[Chris Black come back]

These two things can (and will have to) co-exist.

To date, whatever the mitigations, he has been a terrible manager for us in terms of performances and results. He can point to problems he has had to face with the squad and recruitment, but he’s been absolutely abject to date.

He will be our manager next season and will be given seemingly a decent budget to recruit over the summer.

[Red wizard]

I'm not sure how much extra we can spend with ffp. We have been told that  the reason we haven't had a bigger budget.

Cracking summary - and of course no Magician tells you the secrets of his tricks - BUT wouldn't it be lovely to have someone within his temple of superior/godlike football just actually talk us through how the process delivers first of all - ENTERTAINMENT and then RESULTS??

[drfchound]

… please get someone in that has the nous to build a team and adapt to situations please, or those significant funds will be wasted

There were 10 first team players missing today. We had an 18, a 19 and a 22 year old at centre back. We had an 18 year old making his full debut up top. We had two wingers at full back. We are scraping the dregs of an already not very good squad. What do you expect a manager to do?

It isn’t just the last match that has been the problem though is it bst.
We have been poor for weeks.

I'm talking about games over months not just yesterday

[Campsall rover]

It doesn’t matter who the starting 11 is if the system of playing is flawed does it.
If we are outnumbered in the middle of the park and play 1 lone striker who gets no service then the outcome is the same whoever is playing.

To play the same way since late October and get the same outcome game after game now for almost 6 months has to be the definition of insanity..

I will say it again. Every other Club in the EFL would have sacked their Manager / Head Coach with this level of incompetence. With this level of discontent from its fan base. It’s not just results though is it.
The football has been so utterly dire to watch. Boring would actually be a compliment. It has been the worst I have ever seen apart from that one season in 97/98 when we had NPL footballers in the team.
