Vote of confidence?

Not usually a good sign for a manager.

Must be.

Lose tomorrow and bye bye!

Sounds like the dreaded vote of confidence. Lose tomorrow and he's out.

Fuckin massive game tomorow. Had alot of talk off players this week they need to put up or shut up now.

Another game wasted.  The board are seriously making themselves accountable for our relegation to Lge 2.

Don't count of it, it just confirms to me they will stick with Danny until the end of the season

I think if you look at the timelines of what happened yesterday, a twice-postponed press conference, three players sent out one after the other to deny "rifts" and trot out the "we are all in it together" bullshit, and then Wilson (for the first time I can think of) being kept away from the press whilst jeremy wray took his turn to deny rifts and assure everyone that "we are all pulling together"...........
It all adds up to only one theme.........

1) The is a rift the size of the fucking Grand Canyon (which frampton and Rose pretty much confirmed, even though they tried to deny it)
2) Wilson is considered (at the moment) not the right person to tell the press that - most probably due to his out-of-character and incredibly petulant and confrontational interview on BBC Wilts after the Orient game - he is simply under too much pressure to be able to handle questions from the press
3) The board are obviously at odds with Wilson to keep him away from the press, he has never shirked his responsibilities to talk to the press before

and

4) We will be looking for a new manager tomorrow evening unless we stuff Colchester

Then again the Egyptians thought Mubabrak was going to resign last night......................before he started to speak

Pretty well summed up by Doctor Bamber however i still believe the board will stick with Danny until the end of the season because who would want to take over as manager with the mountain of shit they would have to clear up with certain players.

Whether their are rifts or not these players are paid professionals and should be doing their job at a professional level There is no excuse and any normal company would have fucked the disruptors out the door long ago.

I think the board have done their best to stick with Danny until the end of the season, but even the most hardened of intentions have a tipping point.

agree.i think the same can be said of the majority of our supporters too

I think we'll win tmrw, then lose our next game.

That would still be an improvement.

3 players involved, i might be well wide of the mark but wasn't there a big disruption at Leeds when Douglas, Prutton & Sheehan played there?  Could this be why Grayson didn't favour them?

Only an observation and probably wrong but it is coincidental though

I don't think Wilson has been given just 1 game but chances are he has been told in no uncertain terms there has to be an upturn in results otherwise he will pay the ultimate price, although saying that if we get battered tomorrow then that may bring decisions forward

They're going to kill him? Christ, that seems a bit harsh - whatever happened to "departed by mutual consent"?

Need to show our next manager that failure isn't an option.

Rightly or wrongly the Board have made their decision and I suspect they will definitely stick by it.  

What we need now is the manager and players to pull their fingers out and the fans to get behind the team.  Constant speculation about Danny’s future will not do any good, we are in the shit and we all need to get behind the team.  Negativity towards the team isn’t going to get us out of this mess, support and encourage might just help in a little way.

A four hour meeting/bollocking with Mr Wray probably wasn't much fun. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that! I guess it was an opportunity for the Board to demonstrate that they have given Danny every opportunity to sort things out. That said, it seems a very formal thing to do so maybe the Board have one eye on avoiding any employment tribunal /payoff if they do sack him?

Good shout. Public guillotining of failed managers is the way forward. And pitchside floggings instead of this namby-pamby two weeks wages fine for breaches of club discipline. It may not do much for morale but in "bums on seats" terms, it'd bring the crowds flocking back

The longer he stays the more trouble it will cause. The players dont give a crap about dw they dont want to play for him. Were down if he stays here end of.

I still cant believe hes still here.

And you know this how?

If it's what you think, fine. But don't write it as though it's fact.

and just how do you know he's not Jonathan Douglas, David Lucas, or Alan Sheehan?
He has the word "white" in his user name - exhibit 1
His punctuation is fucking awful, so he could be a footballer - exhibit 2

they dont want to play for him after he made the subs against leyton orient none of the players took notice of him or shirtlifters instructions. If he stays were down an thats a FACT
im always on time ;)

It's not FACT though, is it? It's your interpretation of what's going on.

its not just my interpretation there are alot of people who think it.

Im guessing you still think dw is man to get us out of this mess? He has had enough time to turn this around and so far hasnt, our current form is relegation form and we have less games to play than the teams around us also add to that dw is tactically inept.

You don't seem to know the difference between fact and opinion

yawn is that all you got?

And that is a fact.

Yep, you can't debate with someone who thinks their opinions are facts.

like you thinking your opinion is fact? If you think our current form isnt fact enough that we could go down then you need to wake up and smell the roses.

If we carry on turning out these useless performances week in week out were down.

:cunty:

We COULD go down yes. Your previous posts stated that we WILL go down, FACT. Crucial difference.

no i said if dw is here were go down.

And crispy you add nothing to this so go crawl back in ya hole ya fag

That's still not fact is it?

will be in 3 months

Will it though?

true on current form it will be alot sooner

While there is a fair chance it will happen, no-one can be sure, therefore it is not fact.

these last two pages are like deja vu all over again............. :doh:

ofcourse

The only thing people saw in my post was the word FACT no one had an arguement to what i was saying just that it wasnt a fact "yet"

We are, we are, we are. We are = we're. Not were.

I'm not normally a grammar nazi, but seeing it repeated and repeated ad infinitum, along with the rest of your facts, requires pointing out.

EDIT: Apart from the last. That's fucking we will. We will = We'll.

Can you let us know the lottery numbers for this saturday please?

Obviously I am assuming you have a crystal ball (Please note - this is merely my assumption and is therefore an opinion. There is no way that this can be construed as FACT unless you can confirm or deny this to be the case).

A lot of people thought  :hitler: was a good thing for Germany and Europe, didn't necessarily make it a fact or right though.

hahaha what a cunt what are you a fucking teacher or something? i bet you look through all the posts to see if people have spealt something wrong you fucking old cunt

i could care less if its were or we're now i know its annoying you ill just carry on

I think Barry has the power to stop you.

:clap: and???

see you do care :D

;)

FWIW I actually think that your guess (And that's all it is) will probably turn out to be correct: If Wilson stays we'll go down.

Not sure on your reasoning though, as I'm not privvy to the goings on behind the scenes.

You do come across as a bit of a twat though, I mean first he's lost the dressing room and now he's tactically inept.

Now if either (Or both) of these accusations are correct, how did we manage to achieve a top 6 finish last season, with Wilson's tactics and without the players throwing a moody and acting like childish, unprofessional wankers?

I guess Ben Hutchinson's influence on the dressing room was much bigger than we realised.

there seems alot of moody people on here today, is it nerves for dannys big day tomorrow :fear:

What a twat.

he has shown time and time again that he cant change a game when its not going our way. he plays people out of position all the time even though the fans have noticed this time and time again he still continues to tinker with the squad.

we achieved the top six finish because he kept the same team playing he hardly ever changed the starting line up. ferry who for some reason cant get a game right now was a massive part of our season last year.


and everyone has seen his subs....

:D

I don't think people were necessarily disagreeing with you carbon, no need to go on the defensive about your opinion. Just irked (is that a word?) a few as it was posted as fact when it wasn't.

people cant argue the case though they just reply  that i cant spell or call me a twat  ;)

Which makes them right.Fwiw it's worth we have alot in common

i can see that  :D

Think everybody is a bit pissed off how we've gone from slightly misfiring but playing only a bit shit, to being nailed on relegation certainties, in a matter of 8 or so weeks.

Normally in a relegation season you can see it coming fairly early doors, and there's an obvious reason for it....like being in a league too high....financial meltdown...that sort of thing, but here none of the indicators are there, other than I suppose selling players in the window.

Only 8 players made more than 40 starts last season, after that it was LJF who was next with 31.

Hardly ever changed? Hutchinson made 10 starts, Obadeyi made 11 starts, revell made 9 starts, we even had the likes of Nouble appearing 8 times (3 starts, 5 sub appearances). And all those are just one position!

Last season, we had 27 different players start games for us, this season we've used 25.

He changed personnel last season, FACT. 

That's just your opinion herthab.

Apart from the fact that it's fact, you're right.

that's just your opinion too.

Erm, "it's" is correct as an elision of "it is". The possessive of it is "its", if that's what you meant.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-its-and-its.htm

Just thought I'd throw my two-pennorth into the grammar/spelling related fun

ok then when we was playing hutchinson, obadeyi and revell we wasnt actually performing well, then we brought in ward and austin who became first team players week in week out.

But it's not though is it?

We start every game with 11 players. If DW hadn't of changed personnel last season, we would have 11 players starting every game. As it was, we had a mixture of 27 different players starting games. Therefore DW changed personnel.

It's quite easy to see when you look at it.

no i meant the FWIW = for whats its worth...... he then put it's worth after fwiw

I was just winding you up hertha, I shouldn't have really because it's a really interesting point. One which I didn't know.

As I said, I'm not a grammar nazi and I barely read the forum. I've probably spent an hour on here, total, in the last week and not more than a couple of minutes of that would be reading the wisdom within the forum.

When it's something as fundamental as "we're" being spelt wrong though and it's repeatedly, teaching you can't be a bad thing, because it's simply better. :)

It's also, "couldn't care less" unless you're a yank in which case you're still wrong, although you might have grounds for acting like you're right.

Bugger. Good point. I'm having a mare this week. I'll console myself with some minor pedantry over typos in your post when it's perfectly clear what you mean :)

I had a feeling you were, but I bit anyway. Bugger.

Stupid cunt.

Thanks.

you're a cunt......better?

Bringing this thread back to it's original purpose and away from Carbon White's grammar, isn't it a bit late in the day for this sort of meeting.  It should have happened a couple of weeks ago when we first got dragged down into the relegation places. 

And FWIW I totally agree with Carbon White and also in relation to Berniman's point about the Board making themselves accountable if we get relegated.  The whole set up of Fitton and the Board has lost some of it's credibility this season over the way they've managed the whole transfer policy at the club.  That's coming back to haunt us, as will keeping Wilson in a job for longer than necessary.  We could be a further 3 points adrift at 5.00 pm tomorrow making any chance of survival that bit more difficult than it is already.

This board has backed wilson though this season

Bringing this thread back to Carbon's use of English, can we reserve special abuse for anyone who ends a sentence with "end of".

It's not, in any sense - grammatical, dialectical, rhetorical. Like "Fact", all it says is "I know what I think and I'm not open to argument." If it wasn't clear to you, that's why you wound people up.

Carry on.

You've spelt spelt wrong.

says the cunt with a 3 in his name

A correctly spelt 3.

really?

Yes, here is an example of it incorrectly.

7.

You m3an r3ally ;)

funny because i thought 3 was spelt three

Except in Ireland....where it is spelt tree :D

What is it with this forum lately? A few people at each other like a bunch of bickering fucktards.

Fucktard :girlgiggle:

[url width=160 height=160]http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh395/xashleynicole14x/SpiderMonkey.gif[/url]

A lot to do with the position we find ourselves in me thinks

Sign of the current predicament I suppose.  I doubt people would be getting so argumentative and picky if we were doing well.

Well i am sat on the sofa with a glass of whiskey and dry ginger.....not a lot wrong with that position ;)

Uurgh, sounds completely revolting to be honest Leefer (the drink I mean not you sitting on the sofa!)  :D

I like it.................too much at times.

I'm at work and I'm bored, is the answer tbh.

Slumming it with Carlsberg Export, only thing on special at Sainsburys at the time

Whiskey and Ginger eh? Now that does sound tempting, I'm just supping back a bottle of 6X.

Now this is much better, talking about alcoholic beverages rather than snipeing at each other.........(you bastards)

I had a Westons cider for the first time since Walsall just the other day.

Best cider. FACT.

I can't cope with Cider, I got absolutely slaughtered on the stuff when I was about 17 and can't go near the stuff, even the smell of apples in beverage form is too much.

My mates 10 year old cracked open a can of Apple Tango near me a week or so ago and I almost puked in his hair...

haha!

It's quite dry, 8.2% this one, but I swear the ones I got in Walsall were 9.2%

Either way, perfect way to top up after the train into B'ham!

personally I preferred it when everyone was calling each other fucktards

I'm like that with whiskey, never again

Urgh, Tequila for me. Blurgh.

This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put.

I can't drink sambuca anymore after having too much of it once, passing out in a hedge and waking up in a strangers house, with no recollection of how I got there. Baaad stuff

Err, yeah. Grammar is good

Did the stranger bum you. Bet he did.

They were (fairly attractive) she's!!

Oh so that's a no.

Almost certainly

Same here. Just the thought of it is enough to make me :puke:

so you're fine with scotch?

Everybody who's posted in the last 3 pages has until 1pm on sunday to convince me that they shouldn't be banned.

That includes you 'regulars'

I'll read my PM's.

All pms must be 300 words minimum and begin with the words. I would swap my family for their weight in bacon because...

Current planned banlist: DV, Fred, Samdy, Sippo

Barry Scott, SiPie, Dv, STC Dave, arriba, crispy
 

How did you convince yourself?

Impressive list of banned posters.

Result of a collective buggering of the mod no doubt.

This season reminds me of 1990/91 when we had a huge playoff hangover (in slightly different and more painful circumstances) but we ended up selling our best players (Alan Mac, Bodin), lost an influential captain (The Fridge's bad knee injury) yet showed some performances that reminded that the team could play (4-0 at City and 4-2 at the Manor). Yet we ended up struggling to stay up and had to grind out results. If I remember Hoddle didn't come in until end of March/April time.

This season isn't over yet, yes we are playing badly, but there is still points that can be picked up and we might suprise ourselves somewhere with a big win. I remember in 2002/3 under Kingy we lost 7 or 8 on the trot, looked doomed and Coppell said nothing could be done yet we started with a 2-2 draw with Colchester and started picking up points again. Let's not give up on staying up in February!

Yep-Stigger's hattrick kept us up!Maybe a hattrick from another unlikely source might do for us-Prutton??!!!

Shit I didn't.

Ban time.

It's really hard to ban yourself for a day.

heh, it just straight up doesn't let you do it. I'm unbannableben

I can see your point on 90/91, but there is one crucial difference, that season because of reorganisation only 2 went down, had it been 4 we'd have gone, as happened in 94/95.

The threat of relegation did creep up that season, as we were happily mid table at a comparable time on a run of 2 defeats in 14. That season we signed Lorenzo a WC finalist who helped stabilise the defence, this season Flint from Alfreton Town  :)

To save this season will require a huge turnaround, for which there is no evidence of it happening....which is why my attention is turning to next season in L2.
