[Albion] Fab out?

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Well if we do sack him, maybe we can get Pep in to replace him. He might be looking for a new job soon

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Seems to be a bit of a split between the “sensible long term” fans who watch on telly and those who got up at around 6am yesterday and parted with over £100 quid for that garbage.

No one is saying Bloom out but they are pointing out some mistakes. It wouldn’t be an issue if the club didn’t seek to present itself as perfect in every way.

Yet another dig at the supporters who don't go to away games ! I have supported the club through thick and thin for 60 years, including taking the Seagull Special to away games with the team and Alan Mullery onboard.
Please stop critisising us, who have now reached a certain age and can't get to away games !!

If I were Tony (and who’s to say I’m not? ), I’d be on the blower to Jurgen Klopp and offering him a mentoring role with young Fabian.

Not working with players everyday, or doing endless media or travelling to matches and all the other stuff that he had plainly had enough of. But being a mentor and a sounding-board for Fab - perhaps just a few days a month, supporting him, guiding him, coaching him.

It might be the sort of offer that satisfies his desire to still be involved in top flight football, but without having to immerse himself in the day-to-day non-stop grind of being a Head Coach.

I doubt there are many scenarios that Fab is facing that Klopp won’t have encountered at some point in his career - plus he seems to possess many of the qualities that would make him an excellent mentor.

He already has a job at Red Bull though and only started last month

Like the idea though. I think getting Gross back in some role would be better

 

[GT49er]

I was being serious btw. We can't/won't get Mourinho, Ancelotti, etc. There aren't many proven top flight managers that grind results season after season.

And we won't get Moyes in a million years either! He's back at his beloved Everton, and he won't be shifting in a hurry!

Yeah. If you can call Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull a job.

At last! The voice of reason. We really are sounding like a bunch of entitled idiots. We are TENTH in the Premier League FFS. It's embarrassing losing 7-0, but there were loads of factors at play. We as fans will focus on the here and now, but luckily guys like Bloom and Barber are focussing on the next 5 years (or longer). Sometimes when you take long term decisions the short term isn't great. If Fab doesn't pull through, then I have absolute confidence that the Board will make the right decisions in the long term interests of the club.

Yep. I went yesterday, yes it was poor but this place has become worse than Facebook for reactionary, toxic negativity. Fab is learning, but his biggest issue - all season - is not having been able to select a more or less consistent XI, and no real building of partnerships or understanding as a result due to the unfortunate (if that is what they are) injuries. I hope he’s given time to prove himself with a more settled squad. If the (probably made up) rumours are true that he’s ‘lost the dressing room’, then he’ll be off - but two weeks ago it looked fine after 3 consecutive wins. That’s one heck of a turnaround

Had a few too many today ? Thought we had already brought in a German coach, who had been involved in the national set up to advise ?

Red Bull are brutal, if their F1 team are anything to go by so I can’t see them agreeing to let him go off at a tangent to a Micky Mouse English club (in comparison to their global image)

 

[amexer]

It doesnt say much for back room staff if they couldnt talk him out of playing 5 out and out forwards and a lone young midfielder in a tough away game.

 

[willalbion]

You can get 50-1 on FH being the next manager to get the Spanish archer.

It’s not a dig, just an acknowledgment that if you sat through that live and spent a lot of money on it you’d be more annoyed than if you were sober and at home in the afternoon.

Pretty much everyone I spoke to in Nottingham or on the train was Fab Out yesterday. That obviously wasn’t the same for other NSC users. But alienate your loyal fans who can be heard in the ground and you’re heading for toxicity.

 

[BadFish]

The writing is on the wall now, I am far less supportive of a manager who can't/won't make use of our most exciting young talent.

I suspect that he will be gone at the end of the seasons.

 

[oldboyroy]

Can I just say that this place was almost unanimously in favour of appointing FH in the summer. He was by far the most popular choice and almost everyone was excited at our modern and forward thinking appointment. If it isn’t going to work out - and I hope it still does - then it happens. Sometimes, as PB often says, they get it wrong and if PB and TB got it wrong then so did most of us.

I can really do without the pile on and, worse still, the glee with which some so called fans are enjoying all this. We even had one fan hoping we'd lose to Chelsea yesterday so it would hasten FHs departure - I mean WTF. If he's the wrong man for the job TB will act and we try again and the world will carry on turning, if he thinks he'll come good then we should support him. Keep the faith.

No no no, however furious we are after yesterday, surely all fans will want us to smash Chelsea!

Angry, and probably lagered-up fans in the very raw immediate aftermath of a shellacking aren’t going to offer a balanced, considered opinion though.
