What;'s he thinking of saying this kind of thing.  I'm not getting on MM's back as I want to give him plenty of time to settle in, but this kind of news isn't going to win over any supporters!!

We have got belief in the players Malpas, just not belief in you!

everything the motherwell fans warned us about is coming true, isn't it?

I just don't get why he'd want to publicise this.  It's not like the fans have been that engrossed in "doom and gloom".  Yeah there's disappointment that the season seems to be slipping away into mid table mediocrity but no ones getting too angry or upset about it.

My God if we end up in a relegation battle then he'll see how upset Town fans can get.  Andy King must be wondering what the hell MM is on about after all the stick he had aimed at his little bald head!!

I think MM maybe reading too many comments on the Adver site which have largely been very negative all week.

But yeah I agree, all that MM's comments are going to achieve is concentrate people's minds on the negative. I just wish they would all shut up (players and managers) and getting on with playing

what is on earth is wrong with this man???

We ARE happy with the players - its YOU with have a problem with!

MALPAS OUT!

SHUT UP YOU COCK!!!!!!!  May i suggest that you fuck off back to the Gooner forum.

are you going to say the same to lady?

I was actually going to post the same as you arriba.

Just what I was thinking

Good thing Malpas ain't playing tomorrow, presumably his foot will still be stuck in his fucking trap.

Jesus, I want to like you MM but you're not making it easy!!

must admit i'm becoming more sceptical about malpas as time goes by.i'm not decided yet but some of the stuff said is a bit daft.

peacock was moved intom midfield because he couln't hit a cows arse with a banjo.now malpas wants loads of goals out of him.this totally contradicts what sturrock had to say about peacock.

i cant help thinking that byrne and malpas in the end will have to part.byrne wasn't his man for starters.and i just dont think they seem a partnership.
they're just hunches mind

That made me laugh Dave  :D

No because lady does not keep repeating herself over and over again, We get the message Fatbury, you dont want MM as manager the same as you didnt want Sturrock,Wise, King,Evans,Todd,McMahon. Just dont keep going on about it please.

Im with you on this one Dave, I really want some stability and common sense from MM but im not sure im going to get it.

Some people are never happy Fogger, if that's the way they are just leave 'em to it I say.

SHUT UP YOU COCK!!!!!!! May i suggest that you fuck off back to the Gooner forum.

Hope that helps.

I'd just like to mention I dont have faith in most of the players either. They were hit and miss under sturrock and still are now.

Thanks Dave, that is exactly how I feel.  Put very well indeed!

He contridicts himself all the time - its getting on my wick

I was reading something in the adver along the lines of "he dropped Brez because of a dip in form but now Phil Smith is having a dip in form he wont necessary drop him""

WTF???  :shock:  :?

Are you calling me a cock  :o

Yes.  I'm all for equality.

Ace, ive never been called one of those before!  \ :D /

 :thumbs:

He reckons Smith is more of a talker. Well he would be Brez doesnt speak much English for a start

Why did he say that? Probably because the BBC Swindon guys asked him about it - as I think they are entitled to do.

I don't think I've ever had less confidence in a manager so quickly.

McMahon was pretty loathsome but he did the bare minimum (for a while) in getting us back up, albeit pissing our parachute payments up the wall to do so. Long term he was a cancer that should have been cut out way before he was.

So what are the arguments for Malpas - other than he is already there and we should give him time? The fact he looks slightly like a sorrowful manatee? (ok I am squinting a bit...)

I dont get it what he says is right?

some of you are already doom and gloom, towards Malpas as per this thread!

 I've no problem with the logic of MM's decisions.....its the sort of thing an incoming manager has to do,  but I'd like a little thinking outside the box. Maybe Chris Allen is it.

(as this seems to have become the most recent Malpas thread)

However much you dislike Mr.M,  there'd be absolutely no advantage gained from sacking him now.

If we finish below 16th or below at the end of the season then maybe. It's a difficult line to draw. Even if we do poorly this season,  should we give Malpas a proper go in charge next season, or should we  cut are losses and give a new manager a proper pre-season to play with. I'd go with the former, not only has there been far too much disruption this year (even for a generally turbulent cllub), but we'd probably be looking at record levels of manager changes. I'd like some stability.

Interestingly, if you find my opinion interesting for some reason. I reckon that we've got enough of a backbone to the squad that Andy King could probably get us at least to the Play-Off's with a few signings.

Van der Linden (which King's dislike of is one of his only poor attributes) and Miglioranzi were both better footballers than anybody we've got in our current team. Ian Woan was a better footballer than any player in our division.

I honestly can't see anything wrong with what he said in the article.

We have got a load of hyper critical fans who get on players (And the Managers) backs way too quickly imho, all of whom are under the delusion that their opinions are right and the managers wrong.

Malpas has been here 5 minutes FFS! If a 'name' manager had come in, I think people would be showing a lot more patience, but because he's not high profile he's being given no time at all.

I think Malpas is absolutely spot on to be honest, didn't really need to say it to the press though.

There is no need to dwell on the negatives when only a handful of fans are being negative.  That's all I'm saying.  Stop the negativity Eminem.

Spot on. Seems the Adver are starting to take the few regulars on their messageboard far too seriously then passing that on as "fact" to Malpas and co

Adverland is a bit special though...you need to be  special person to post on there, there never seem to be anything positive on there.

Malpas is our manager and we need to get behind him and the players full stop.
