Actually, no scrap that. I hope he fails but is happy in life.

Sure but if we take the start this season as a barometer of his failure under a new coaching team , then how do we assess that we had 1 more point after 14 games than we did after 15 games last season under the lord and saviours viveash and Lawrence that apparantly robins can't work without

What's happened previously with 2 of the influencing factors involved in the subsequent recovery removed renders this point irrelevant. It's what comes after that is the more salient point and we will never know the answer.

Hopefully he’ll swoop in with a joint £8 million bid for him and Dasilva.

They've got some tough looking fixtures coming up after Plymouth. Off to Sunderland 2nd game. I wonder if Sunderland fans are looking forward to welcoming him back?

Just read an article where he says he wouldn't want to watch "boring and ponderous" football.
Well, there's a turn up for the books!

I hope that MR has a solid assistant manager/coach because he’s going to get badly exposed there, like he did here without a coaching team like Viveash and Lawrence.

I sincerely hope it works out for him. 🩵

Not a great sample size was it ?

After 14 games we had the same points as we did last season after 15 games with adi and with Dennis ?

So I'm not seeing the exposure , but I think Mark or any manager generally works better as part of a good team .. why wouldn't they

If you only ever give your opinion rather than try and jostle into a never-ending position to win internet points life is far easier.
I mean it is nice to get one up on a shit talker, I'm not going to lie, but it shouldn't be the default reason to post.

Maybe we should just be like twitter and let the bollocks roam unopposed

We could just remove the reply feature in fairness

The arguments on here can be hilarious in fairness but not when its the same ones on repeat.

The opening question makes no sense to me, apologies.

It’s clear that any criticism of MR is not taken lightly by some, however the state of the ‘rebuilt’ squad falls squarely in his lap.
I, like many others, feel that he was badly exposed without an able tactician in his ear, and had ran out of ideas without that safety net of quality behind him.

Again, not quite sure about the defensive nature of your reply, as I am a huge fan of MR and probably always will be.

The point Evo is making is that you took 14 games to decide that it’s not working without Viveash and that’s not a lot.

IMO if he gets Stoke up this season I'd class that as a miracle.Think he reached his ceiling with us.

You took less to decide it's not working with lampard and his new team though?
