Oscar Garcia - Opinions from BHA fans

[phazza]

Forest fans forums are debating how long we should stick with Stuart Pearce and who would replace him. Oscar Garcia's name cropped up quite a lot as someone who at least would get us playing some kind of structured decent football. Just thought it would be nice to hear the opinions of those on here. Would anyone here welcome him back?

no point. he can't cope with the pressure in this country.
decent bloke though

Rubbish

 

[Quinney]

I'd take Oscar over Freedman all day long.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Appreciating the feedback folks. Thanks.

His song is:

OSCAR Garcia
He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us joy.
He has more stubble
Than barney rubble
Please don't take, our OSCAR away!
La la la laaaa la. Etc

Mate, head yourself to the Palace forum and ask them about their loyal legend Freedman. Then google his last couple of visits to the Amex

His football LITERALLY sent me to sleep once.

He took a team or world beaters and turned them into dross. He thinks passing it aimlessly across the back four and then back to the goalkeeper is a legitimate way to set-up, no flair, no personality, no spark.

It would be fascinating to see what he could achieve at a club where he received significant backing. He worked wonders with us given the restrictions he seemed to be operating under.

What absolute rubbish, what team of world beaters and dross does not finish 6th.

Take Ulloa and Upson out of that squad and we would of been in a relegation scrap.

Which is where we are now.

Hyperbole at it's best

Two of these Word beaters went on strike under Oscar. One left and the other one was injured for a large part of the season. I think we were left with one of the world beaters (Upson) and our keeper decided to have a nightmare season too. On top of these he got ZERO backing from the board and had to cope with the worst injury crisis I have seen in 40 years of following the Albion. 6th place was a fecking miracle under the circumstances

Cobblers.

He inherited a crocked squad with a couple of want-away's and little investment and still finished 6th.

The football was turgid at times but his achievement is undeniable.

admittedly.

I just really don't like Garcia.

Where's the evidence that he got ZERO backing from the board?

I seem to be in a minority here and I'll stick my neck out and state that I think he just rode on the back of Poyet's squad. I don't think he did anything spectacular to mark him out as anything other than solid. A win ratio here of 40% didn't set the world alight and for me he just kept a steady ship on course in slightly lumpy weather.

Absolute rubbish....He had the worst injury crisis ever and had all the turmoil behind the scenes to deal with.He had idiots behind the scenes getting in league 1 players like obika etc.
When he arrived he stated clearly he loves attacking football and only knows attacking football...Sadly we had little to offer with attacking players with so many injuries and he then stuck to the defensive football in which was boring as fack,but he did the business in amazing circumstances.

If you actually think he wanted boring negative football then you're deluded as he had little choice

Great person and will be a great manager one day

0-0 at Yeovil without a shot on target.

I agree with this - he made the very best of a very bad situation with us but maintained his dignity and integrity throughout.

Take a look at who we bought and the fact that he walked away as soon as possible at the end of the season. Also take into account what happened to David Burke last month. If you believe Oscar was backed in who we bought that's absolutely fine. I think he was sold a pup by the board when he was employed and neither he nor Hyypia had much input on the players employed. I have zero proof, just what I think.

I know what Tony Bloom said at each Fans Forum, that the player budget was the same or, last year, the highest ever. Poyet & Hyypia also had to put with Burke.
I don't know, but I'm fairly sure that Rodriguez was brought in by Oscar and he was useless.
