Crap manager v crap manager (cov match thread)

If im honest I still don’t expect anythink from this one either though lampards not that good but he’s got more of a clue than Rooney has that’s for sure! Still up to our eye balls in injuries still ..and I feel that’s the excuse that’s keeping Rooney in a job he ain’t stopped using it for weeks our travelling woes to continue
2-1 cov and lampard to win the clash of the so called England legends

Lampard is utterly clueless and will be royally schooled by The Roo today.

Cov 1 Argyle 5

Sky blues backlash after Pompey

2-0

Three games in 7 days.

We will know by this time next week whether Rooney is as good as Hallett thinks he is or as bad as everyone else believes him to be.

Sorry that's it for me. Much as i like the guy and wanted him to succeed this is one embarrassment too many, he has to be sacked immediately and a new manager allowed to recruit as he sees fit in the window. Utterly demoralising.

Oh FFS!

Sack the bloke please.

Enough is Enough now needs to be sacked immediately after the game …we’re see if super sighs got the bollocks

If Rooney's got any self respect he'll be resigning tonight.

i think the best thing SH can do is offer £1 million to anyone who can keep us up.

Going to need 30+ points from 24 games

Even with all the limitations of the currently available 'players', we should not be as utterly dogshit as we are. The endless hammerings is also down to team management and coaching or lack of it. Any other club with Argo's results and performances would have sacked their manager by now. Come to the conclusion that, for whatever reason, he cannot be sacked.

Rooney out
Dewsnip out
Hallett out

Bundu now long term injured. The entire fitness staff must be sacked! There is no way this many long term injuries should be happening. This cannot be normal. Can anyone at Argo actually do anything right? Club is a f***ing shambles from top to bottom.

HALLETT OUT NOW!!!!!

When Dan Gosling (remember him?) got sold to Everton, I said that it signalled a major change at the Club, Sure enough, players were sold property speculation became the flavour of the day and Administration was just around the corner.

I think this season looks like being the start of the end of the Simon Hallett era. Again "property" is being declared the way forward to the detriment of the football team as yet another Chairman lets his ego overrule common sense. Why else hire "Celebrity" Manager against all reason?

This idiotic hiring and retention of Rooney is driven by Hallett's desire to raise the profile of the Club in order to drive up it's value so he can flog it off to a new "investor" and make a mega profit.

The trouble is that atm I don't think the new "investor" actually exists, as I can see no reason why he wouldn't have been named by now. This "waiting for EFL approval" line is just a load of bollocks-both Everton and Sheff Utd have been sold in the last few weeks with the identity of the prospective buyers being known months in advance. So Hallett is desperately hanging on to Rooney in the hope that he will turn things around on the field (no chance of that) and more importantly, sucker in some mega rich Yank or Arab to make Hallett a fortune.

Well, something is making Rooney un-sackable.  Also agree about the 'investment' being talked about the past few months as in I do not believe there is any such thing.  The EFL would have given their approval ages ago if it was real. In fact I don't believe EFL approval is even needed as it's not actually a takeover.   That was just hallett saying things attempting to head off dissent at the fans forum after a string of heavy defeats.

Here here well said that man im glad someone else has said that the only hard currency his pulled up is the 5.5 mill he pulled up to jimmy for the club this 11 mill his meant to have pulled up is on paper if anythink no multi millionaire or Billionaire wouldn’t be pulling up that kind of hard currency in the present climate on his own even the Man City owner has been pulling that kind of hard currency there not stupid even so let’s just say for instance the is on the book in total but they have offset that anyway with the 32 million they reckon they piss away on expenditure (drip thread to us from last accounts they want you to see)..Sorry I digressed so for instants sake that’s 5 .5 add the 11 that’s maybe or maybe not on the book that’s 16.5 mill the club if he was to sell 2morw the club is valued at between anythink from 32 mil to 35 mil as it stands he sold up lock stock & barrel 2morw and would double his money proberly more in fact

Stoke have added to the managerial merry-go-round by sacking the guy they hired (19th Sept) to replace Schuemaker. So Mr Hallett, sacking two managers in 9 months is quite restrained by Championship standards.

Perhaps Stoke could take on Charlie Adam (sacked by Fleetwood) PAFC take Schuemaker back (at least he knows some of the players) and WR goes to Fleetwood (closer to home for him) --everybody happy.

Or at least a bit less unhappy.

Trouble is that Argyle are such a shitshow atm that no decent manager or player will want to join.

Maybe because we're still paying out for Foster is the reason we can't afford to sack Rooney? Dewsnip and Hallett have made a right mess of this. They are equally to blame for this relegation.

Pretty fair analysis of the game.

Good listen!  And a fair analysis of where we are.  I agree with the speaker that both Rooney AND Dewsnip need to go!
