A Yes man so you are probably right.
The argument about this plan B is it’s crap. During Pep’s 11 game shit spell he never changed they played the same way.
Coaches have philosophies and stick to them some are successful some aren’t.

They can't sack him now as they just built a padel court for him.
He’ll still be here next Christmas imo.
Barber plays doesn’t he ?

Its a huge step up from St.Pauli in Bundesliga 2 to managing a team in the Premier League. To date, nothing I've seen from team selection, tactics or his general management skills suggest he's anywhere near good enough to makw that step up. Its a failed experiment from TB, we need an experienced manager the players can trust and look up to.

I'm never one for over-reacting to a bad result, but this seems like something else to me. His post match comments don't seem right to me as well. At the very least Tony must be reviewing his Manager Availability Algorythms to see what the computer says.

We had our a*ses handed back to us today. Nothing less. There are no mitigating factors.
If you don't have your best starting 11 - you park the bus or play safe by other means. We all knew what Forest can do, but the team and FH ignored it.

End of season is the time to evaluate. Yes, today was 'kin dreadful, but you can't describe an experiment as 'failed' until it has run its course.
Besides, I don't see that a new manager would make any difference to this season. Always takes time to bed in and for the players to understand their ideas. Also, how many wonder coaches are currently available anyway?!

Just about on the fence still as think FH should be given to the end of the season pretty much whatever happens now. Having relative safety from relegation in January in his first year it shouldn't be forgotten how well he started and the squad difficulties he now faces.
Regarding your highlighted point I'd suggest it was very much made clear to him on appointment he should not question the squad or recruitment after their experiences of Poyet and RDZ. I'm not sure we'll see that kind of manager again, certainly any time soon.
I do find him lacking in inspiration personally and that's a big reason I don't now listen to the pre match press conferences, which I do find dull.

It was a bizarre end…the players looking shame faced staring at the crowd taking the flak and Hurtz nowhere to be seen. I’m Hurtz in but that was poor from him.
Sure TB & PB will be fully aware if he has lost the dressing room or not and would be looking to our senior players to help things along. It was always going to be a challenging season and expectations were high and constant injures have not helped. Hope we can put this quickly behind us ready for the Chelsea games

Yes, except if you feel that they are truly out of their depth or consistently showing poor judgement since thats not likely to improve however much time you give it.

I think our mistake, or at least TBs mistake, was treating a football manager like a player - Hurzeler probably will be a quality manager in a few years time once he learns his trade... but that's the issue isn't it. He's learning his trade here right now, and making a lot of mistakes.
Maybe we should be patient with him. Maybe it will pay off. Or maybe it won't. That's the gamble - and it's not a gamble the fans are willing to take, who very much desire and expect results now, not in 5 years time.
