Nail on the head

Nail on the head

Maybe. I certainly felt that was the case early on in the Neil Out months in his final season. I think if you look at FB posts and other stuff on twitter there is a lot of 'cheap option'/no experience kind of criticism.

The new manager, if an experienced coach, does need some long term support though.

If I thought that he actually knows what he's doing, then he would have my full support.
 
Nothing different tomoz. Five at the back, none of which get forward, every last man back for corners, leading scorer taking long throws !!
Utter unchanging boring tripe.
Passing the ball forward wil l be totally discouraged, which is what most of the fans are at the moment !!!!!!!

There are 1000s of qualified coaches not working in the EFL. It's not some badge of distinction to achieve that status.

If we sack Frankie (and if as rumoured AN doesn't want him in his next job) then the PNE job might realistically be Frankie's last job in professional coaching in the UK.

There is more chance of a postman job, than a EFL football managers job that's for sure.

Not sure about that. My UEFA B course took 6 months and most people failed the assessment. The Pro is a whole new level, a quick Google search suggests there are 390 UEFA Pro coaches in England.

Personally, not a fan of FM as manager but the Pro license should certainly be seen as a badge of distinction.

Yeah, completely true. It does beg the question what they are teaching on the pro course though as I don't think anyone could make a case for Frankie being tactically 'good'.
 
I'm a ST holder, I miss around 5-7 home games a season through work, holidays etc but do everything I can to see as many matches home and away per season and I have done for over 40 years. I'm not going today through choice, I've had enough of watching piss poor performances week in, week out. where the UEFA Pro licence head coach seems to send a team out every week as if they have never seen each other before let alone worked on a system of play.

The waste of millions of pounds of Hemmng's money where the club commercial income hasn't risen is a decade because the club can't be arsed is a disgrace. The infrastructure of the club both football and administration is not fit for purpose, wholesale changes are required urgently as the club is in total free fall.

Graham Westley has a Uefa Pro licence.
He prefers to call it a medal of distinction.

I agree the snide comments need to stop, there just isn't really any need for it really.

Frankie has tried his best, he just isn't a manager for me. I don't want it to turn toxic where he's getting a load of abuse as he walks off down the tunnel if results don't go our way. It will happen if we get beat tomorrow though. He should be told its not worked out before we get to that stage.

Ridsdale has invited stick on to him with his condescending statements. But again, I'd rather he was potted before it gets to that point as he has obviously worked hard here. He's just lost the plot for me and is pissing large amounts of money away on ridiculous signings and contract extensions for players that have failed.

True. I'd rather Ridsdale go before FM to be fair..

Statistics don't lie and his win % in the league this season is currently 21.4%.
However the entertainment value is close to zero, my subjective view.
It is just so boring watching this team struggle even to complete passes to each other, they pass sideways or backwards then finally hoof the ball back to the opposition.
Yet individually we have some solid Championship players.

I agree and I want him out. I also agree we’ve some very good championship players. A good manager would have us 8-12th

I’m not for one minute clued up on what all these courses entail - but like most courses, you train or revise to pass a set test.

You could relate it to doing a degree or masters - you might be really clued up in the theory and the knowledge behind what your doing, but it is no substitute for actually being in the job and experiencing it.

In most cases, the course isn’t the issue - it’s the fact that your only going into the role part-armed. Similar to passing your driving test - you don’t start truly learning until once you’ve past.
