THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Tue Feb 11, 2025 10:46 pm

Out of his depth.
He never starts with his best team.
We have been 2-0 down in our last 3 away league games after 15 minutes.
Never keeps the same team.he even made loads of changes after beating Swansea.
Goalkeeper makes mistake after mistake but still keeps his place.
We need a manager with experience NOW!!!

I wouldn't disagree with you but it's not going to happen.

I disagree.

His job was to keep us up after the disastrous start under Bulut.

We need to stick with him because nobody was calling for him to go when we were nine unbeaten.

Changing manager now would help nobody.

Stick with him and we'll stay up.

Disagree imo we could do with a fresh thinker he does not put any fight into his team that was such a limp display how many more under his management do we have to watch.
Things are certainly not getting better he been with us for how many games ? I don' t want warnock bsck but f.ck me he would have wiped the floor with them at half time
And second half we came out even worse
Sorry not for me i want a manager with some bollocks and fight his excuses are sounding like
mc carthy.

Three managers in a season never ends well.

Riza will keep us up.

Hard disagree. Where were you in January when we were unbeaten?

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Tue Feb 11, 2025 11:58 pm

Some of you lot need to get a grip. Beat the jacks 3 nil a few weeks ago, decent unbeaten streak, some decent signings in Jan. We lose 2-1 to a team with a great home record and it triggers complete meltdown.

Omer will come good, mistakes will happen, poor decisions etc but he seems like a genuine chap who sees managing us as a privilege not just a pay check.

Some of you seem to think we have some kind of right to be higher in the league and shouldn’t have to fight to stay up.

With a new manager you risk losing players current form, Robinson, Chambers and Ashford have flourished under Omer, want to risk that? A new manager could disrupt the few players we have in form, upset the camp and sink our season to the bottom of the league. Be careful what you wish for…

How many on the forum would have chose riza after bulut left? He is tans choice we are doing the best part of the season with an intrim manger and we are still a point or 2 off relegation in our 125th anniversary year,
yes we are doing really well ffs but wow we beat the jacks big bloody deal.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:20 am

I'm 50/50, if the season started when Riza took charge we'd be 16th but 10 points away from the relegation zone and 8 points off the playoffs. The concern is almost half the 30 points we've picked up came in his first 6 games. Also I believe the squad we have should be mid table so 16th is still slightly under achieving.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Unbeaten in January.

Beat the Jacks 3-0.

We aren’t in the relegation zone which is the ultimate goal after what Bulut left us with.

I understand he’s inexperienced and our away form is woeful.

It was woeful before him.

How people think that 3 managers in one season is the way forward I have no idea.

Totally agree, well said.

I think some people just have an obsession with changing managers.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

He shouldn't have been employed to start with does that not tell people what's going on from above his managerial CV has a stint as a non league manager winning 12 games out of 49. Sadly that's how we are these days. He was still playing non league football three years ago believe it or not.

Couple wins against Bristol City and Plymouth and they'll be singing "Omer Riza's barmy army" :lol:

I think people WERE still calling for him to go when we were nine unbeaten. His team selections and subs are terrible. He has not got a clue how to change things during a match when we are up against it. Nice enough guy but clueless.

The fact that we went nine unbeaten shows that he isn't clueless.

Like has been said, the job was to stay up. We're outside the bottom three.

You saw what happened when Bulut was sacked. That was the time to bring in someone else but they didn't.

Three permanent managers in a season would be a disaster and I think it would actually make relegation more likely because of the disruption.

Shouty bollocks never fixed anything. In my view you have some valid points but I would lay the blame at the players feet. This slow starting problem has been with us a long time and if anything that proves changing the manager yet again is no answer.

At last someone with common sense what i was saying it was Tans appointment not fans,
we where listing all these mangers steve cooper slaven bilic but we ended up having an intrim to manage the best part of the season ,
but we beat the jacks and a point or so from the bottom 3 how far our ambition is and content to mull along the bottom of the division in our 125th anniversary year some celebration we are having fans turning away in there droves getting thrashed 7nil yes its all looking great.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 1:19 pm

I don't understand the constant hysterical posts after every defeat.

Riza wouldn't be my personal choice when Bulut went but we've got him now, and I'll support him.

Personally I think he'll keep us up and added to that I think we're starting to build a better squad, but these things take time.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 1:21 pm

Rotating to much will always cause u problems especially the back line never starts with the same team too many changes week in week out does he now his best team ? We have to many simalar players he’s mixed the team up so many times I don’t now what our best team could be neither does he I think he’s just guessing

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 1:31 pm

I have no personal prob with riza probably nice bloke and have no choice to support him but for those that say we could' nt possibly have 3 mangers in a season thats bonkers.
So if Tan has a mad turn next week and decides he made a mistake with riza like he does with most things
but decided to appoint slaven bilic,
are we all going to be up in arms because we want to keep riza and we could' nt better him with someone like billic half way through the season load of b.llocks.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 2:48 pm

Aren't all managers ultimately Tan's choice & not the fans or did I miss something? Be careful what you wish for, we would most likely end up with Purse in charge at this stage.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 2:49 pm

Can’t see the argument “doesn’t keep the same team”We just played a cup tie of 120 minutes with a mostly reserve team and then in to away game 3 days later.
Omer maybe raw but he will keep us up and get much better.
If Billic had come here and struggled the same fans would have blamed the players.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 2:52 pm

I was calling for him not to get the job after watching city versus Luton away could see how we played winning the derby doesn’t make a season should never of gone down this route we will be relegated when we were 9 unbeaten how many of them games did we win? Look at our goal difference I’ve never seen it that bad replace now he’s to inexperienced and I said I wouldn’t support him and he hasn’t changed my mind he needs to go asap

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 7:33 pm

He should be making mistakes and learning in the conference or national league not the heightened pressure of the championship. We don't even know if he has a talent for football management. He was a successful youth football coach in the England system so hasn't been dragged off the streets, but it is different managing kids.

We have to go stick with him, its 15 games and a FA cup game so can't toss around.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 9:08 pm

It’s the owner and board that need to go they’ve completely fkd this club look at the clubs around us getting in experienced managers to try and stay up. The bookies had us going down at the start of the season and it’s looking more and more likely now.

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 9:58 pm

Disagree a ridiculous statement that isn't going to happen...

Just get behind Riza and the team

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:01 pm

3 wins in the last 18, sorry but this riza experiment had failed and the plug should be pulled asap .

Re: THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!

Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:07 pm

Those of you calling for his head, just remember you’ve said it when he goes and we end up with Purse.

No doubt you’ll all say that the board was wrong and that Purse should go bla bla bla.
