Anyone reckon that Morison

Thu Apr 20, 2023 2:25 pm

would still be with us if he had found Kaba?

Re: Anyone reckon that Morison

The big question is

Who DID find Kaba?

think he shot himself in the foot the way he spoke out about the youngsters and some of the things he had to say, very poor man management, although i don't think we would be in this position if we stuck with him.

Yes the ones who put us in this position.

They by accident have managed to get a player that has even shocked me as when he played against Atletico Baleares who looked useless.

I am honest, they have probably got one right in 20.

He’s finally come good at 28 yrs old and he deserves it after never giving up.

The good news is the Danish club did not want him.

The problem now is other clubs will be alerted.

Morison was sacked partly because he was a bully.

He had zero man management skills. Lamouchi is a better man manager than Morison will ever be.

Not sure Kaba would have done as well if Morison was still in charge, because of Morison's attitude.

Exactly Ned.

Man management is just as important than getting the right players in. Morison was very immature.

Sabri is clearly very well respected by the players. He’s very respectful. Something that jumped out at me was early on he was having shots on goal with the forwards. Firstly they were all enjoying it. Second. He clearly still has it. And the players could see that. Gave off the vibe of - I can make you better if you work with me.

I’m not keen on the committee as I think a DoF should be the conduit for the manager/club signing players.

However, I don’t think you’re being fair to say the transfer committee has got one in twenty right.

Kaba, Wintle, Kipre, Romeo, Robinson, O’Dowda, Philogene, Drameh, Doyle, Ng, etc., are all signings during the time of the transfer committee and none of them are without talent. Or are we saying the transfer committee only kicks in if the signing is c£&p !!??

You could argue some of them haven’t performed to their potential but that’s surely down to the manager/head coach ?

Even I would get a player right after 20 attempts.

Now name all the players that have also been brought in since the CCFC Committee started 8 yrs ago????

And if they have done so well why are we always struggling and sacking managers?

Plus why are our fans shouting out this is one of the worst ever teams etc etc

This I 100% agree with.

Re: Anyone reckon that Morison

What is clear is that based on the amount of times we have lost by a single goal, had Kaba been a summer signing, we would not be where we are now, but somewhere safely in mid table.

If the Committee signed them, then good for them. He's turned out well, however, to have a transfer committee at our level, and, given the committees football knowldege, is embarrassing and ridiculous.

No disrespect to Kaba, as I like him a lot, but the Committee will get one right at some point.

I’m not massively disagreeing with you but are you saying that the players I have listed are poor signings ?

I’ve even left out players like McGuiness and others, as they are unproven.

We caught a few team's cold early doors and Collins was a revelation that few had an answer to. They would have and it would have got just as tough for Morison as without championship forwards we were always going to be knackered.

Most good or poor transfers are based on luck IMO, some work others don't. SM seemed to buy a team of little to no ego's which is good when you look at Watford who have far too many but we don't have any, "thank fcuk he is in our team" types and the lack of those characters has cost us.

Kaba has that swagger, not saying ego, but he believes he is going to score an hatrick every game, and we didn't have any of them.

So no, I don't think SM would like the cut of his jib and wouldn't have wanted him.

The simple fact is the transfer committee success rate is too low …if we don’t change then we will carry on like this and end up with more Ollie Tanners ..

With the academy not producing a steam of first teamers and many of the players coming in not good enough then it’s obvious we will end up going down at some stage .
Personally I would let the manager and a DoF chose the players they want …DoF would have to be a proper football person ..love Warnock or Allydyce in that role

No I am def not saying that, BUT for the 3rd yr running we have been struggling badly at times and manager after manager if you want to call them managers, all this is due to Tan and his Committee.
100% they are to blame.

Eventually you will get a couple right, but over all shocking.

League Tables don’t lie.

Results don’t lie.

The football is up and down beyond.

The Stadium is always less than half full.

Be very very interesting on season ticket sales for next season.

Personally I think the problem lies with the managers not the players, particularly this season.

I do feel more confident with Lamouchi in charge but recent appointments of Harris, McCarthy, Morison and Hudson were flawed. The board have to take responsibility for that.

Unlike previous years we do now have players that would get bought by other Championship clubs. Romeo, Kipre, Ng, McGuinness, JC, Wintle, Rinomhota, Philogene, O’Dowda, Kaba, Etete, Robinson, Colwill and Davies would all get signed/bought by clubs at this level or above.

Last season it would have been two or three at best.

The squad is weak in certain areas and Lamouchi or whoever is next seasons manager, will need to re-balance but I do think that there is a decent basis of a squad, we just need more creativity and replacing those in that list that are loans.

The key to all this though is staying up. That isn’t a given yet but let’s hope we get that stability soon.

Partly, but mostly because he was rubbish and had no ability on man management and couldn't manage a interview on TV.

Well Sabri Lamouchi has now had 15 games and we are still in trouble and if Reading had not had minus 6pts we would of been even closer.

Some of the mistakes Lamouchi has done at matches have been costly and at home games.

Still not beaten a Top 10 team.

I would be gobsmacked if we went down, but I think Lamouchi should of rapped this up a while back but he has struggled.

Lamouchi is the best of a very bad bunch, he’s here because No else wanted him.


I do agree there are some good players but the league table does not lie, Lamouchi would of had 18 matches / 54 points and for me under him with some of the players you’ve just stated , we should be where the Jacks are.
