[Football] Has Nathan Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew? - Sacked 12/02/2023

[John Byrnes Mullet]

He's got two more games to do something or I think Saints will make a change.

 

[Bozza]

He's not particularly likeable is he?

Which isn't a problem, as a manager, if your team is performing.

But when your team is struggling, things are going to turn against you pretty quickly.

Wouldn't be surprised ikf he goes this week but the problem for Saints is that they have probably missed the boat of getting an experienced and talented coach like Wolves or Villa did. Not sure who they could turn to?

 

[Lenny Rider]

Just watched the MOTD interview, got to be a dead man walking now, might even be up there as the shortest managerial tenure in EPL history?

Fat Sam?

Some very strange things said in this weekends interviews from him. The context isnt very clear, but talking about having to make compromises to their playing style for various reasons, the fans being one of them. Also claiming not many in Europe were better than him/Luton in their aggressive attacking play. Maybe not many in the Championship, but I would think a lot of Prem teams & others across the top European leagues would contest that point. Seems to be cracking under the pressure.

 

[Stat Brother]

Their fans have been on him from the second he was announced.
He needs some emotional intelligence to win them over...







...oh.

 

[amexer]

Never negative about him but think that interview will assure he never gets another big job again.
Seemed to be saying since he came in he has been doing what the players want and not what he wants. Madness

Stevie G or Super Frank?

No, Palace have already COMFORTABLY claimed that title when they employed Frank de Boer for 10 weeks (4 games). I doubt that will ever be beaten.

The gift that just keeps giving

Stevie G or Super Frank?

Lallana.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Stevie G or Super Frank?

Talking of Franks… it’ll be good if they get in Frank De Boer and he has a similar start to the one he had at Palace. Other than it being one of the easier away days in the Premier League, I would love them to go down. Completely tinpot.

Ever since that 2010/11 League One season when Brighton pipped them to the title I’ve hated them and that prat Adkin. Remember being at the Withdean Easter weekend that season when they won 2-1 despite being 1-0 down with 2 late goals, and their fans were unbearable.

Please get relegated.

Way out of his depth, I get the same sense with Potter at Chelsea. Both talked post match nonsense this weekend.

just this. weekend ?

 

[Easy 10]

Bizarre interview, as good as admitting he's in over his head. I think he's had enough of it all now, and just wants to be sacked. This is his opening salvo to achieve that.

 

[Robinjakarta]

His interview is incoherent. Not at all clear what he's on about. He won't last much longer there like that.

 

[brighton_tom]

Cant remember if it was said on here or elsewhere but as a manager if you take the praise when you win, but then make it all about 'them/others/anyone but yourself' when you lose, it really isnt a good look.

 

[sparkie]

Lallana.

Under contract.

Or perhaps refreshingly honest? People can’t win mind, accused of boring cliches or answering like politicians most of time. Regardless, least he’s in a job where you can never really fail.

Or Everton. Jones got hired because he’s mates with the owners.
