Is anyone now feeling sorry for Sami?

[Insel affe]

No why would anyone feel sorry for someone who is being paid a fortune compared to the average wage for basically turning a mid table team into relegation fodder.....

It's not like it's even the first time in his career this has happened.....

He as at home now, with a healthy bank balance and will work again, but probably as a coach., and that's his level.

Yeh, it really showed he had the backing didn't it! Have you had a little too much Xmas day vino?

nope - its true. people can play crap and still support their manager

 

[Munkfish]

Can't feel sorry for him no. The money he earn't will im sure keep him happy.

Terrible manager. Hope he sticks to coaching as no set of fans deserve to be put through that.

Tony being so reluctant to get rid of him

I suggest that has more to do with the frequency of our managerial departures over the last few years...

 

[Icy Gull]

Today I'm feeling fecking relieved he's gone. Let's see what the afternoon brings

 

[The Camel]

Seems like a decent, intelligent, honourable man.

Very difficult not to feel sympathy for him on a personal level.

 

[pacebos]

No. He wasn't good enough

What he said.

I can find no reason to feel any sympathy at all for Sami , this hit home after yesterdays game with Reading , when we played Millwall we had 8 second half throw ins in the opposition half and Halford took 1 a 5 yard lob back to the halfway line , now for a manager not to use Halfords Elf like throw ins when we were a goal down against a team winning 1-0 just compounds the general consensus that he was inept as a manager , and without a shadow of doubt we would have gone down with him still in charge come may , this of course is still very possible but we needed a change to give us a fighting chance whoever comes in .

I am not suggesting we now base our championship survival on long throw ins but for a manager not to use it as a option is naive at best .

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Not in the slightest ,why would you ?

 

[wigman]

Cannot not feel sorry for a man who was a well paid failure.
Mega rich and being able if he wished to retire at an age, which only most of us can dream of.
He is a privileged man, so NO from me.

It's hard to argue against that specific difference in game management.

Plenty of NSC'ers are bemoaning the lack of 'flair', but flair ain't getting us out of this mess, anytime soon.
We all know they're not scoring with the ball outside the penalty area, so they might as well luzz it in and see what happens.
