Paul Ince appointed interim manager

[Sutekh]

I refuse to believe this until it is properly confimred.

[Snowflake Royal]

Why are so many people losing it about us sacking him after we won, like the decision wasn’t made before hand?

Everyone praising Paunovic as well now, like they haven't been frothing at the mouth to get him out of the club for the last two months.

People are so oxf*rd fickle.

Yep. Could not give a oxf*rd how nice his final interview was. He was an absolute clown and should have gone at least a month ago. Yes yes, very nice oxf*rd off and never darken out doors again

[sputnik]

Actually this is almost worth it just to think how much Karbota hates it

[Sutekh]

Well that’s Tom guaranteed a start for the rest of the season, probably even if he’s injured too.

[biff]

Courtney Friday has said Ince isn't a Kia client, was just a wind up, so everyone can calm down about that too.

How would anyone know either way?

The mentioned MN2s agency is just afterdinner speaking bookings

He still had the audacity to say he felt the negativity surrounding him was undeserved.

My god.

one assumes that you work at the club and therefore knows differently CR?

Let it go mate

Lost 8 games on the bounce including some of the worst results in our history. You don't have to have an inside scoop at the club to think the "negativity" was justified.

been there before (but without the dogs abuse being dished out)

Let your angst go…he’s gone

[Snowflake Royal]

We're ecstatic. Seems to be you apologists who aren't happy.

And negativity would have been just as justified then as it was now. If we had a shit squad that over-performed but weren't good enough no one would have any complaints. Our squad is clearly capable and all anyone has to do is have eyes (or ears) and witness the myriad of baffling and incompetant decisions which got us into this mess. I'm not saying there aren't problems higher up, of course there are, but Kia didn't tell Pauno to stick with Joao for the entirety of the second half of last season when it was clear to everyone he needed a break. Dai didn't tell Pauno to stick with a defensive 4-2-3-1 and bottle countless 'must-win' games which saw us throw away a fantastic opportunity for promotion. Dayong Pang didn't tell Pauno to disrupt the previously successful Rino/Laurent partnership, or to implement the worst example of zonal marking the world has ever seen, to stick 11 men back for corners so we have no outlet, to not make substitutions or to make illogical ones.

Ultimately we are where we are in the league (-6 points) because of footballing decisions. To say anything else is extremely revisionary.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Nobodies being an apologist tbf

It is seeming to emerge that he was out of his depth…and even he realised it (with our lack of proper ownership/directorship) months ago.
Add in the rest of the shit

A contract is a contract…he bows out (not so much a ‘sacking’ as a ‘mutual”) with 4 from 6.

Pity really…early doors, thought that he had that potential

We all rejoice Ian, he’s gone, we have a proper first team starting line-up (almost) we are on the up.

[Big Ern]

What a joke appointment

Can we just announce relegation now ?

[Winston Biscuit]

From one Guvnor to another, welcome Paul. From Winston Biscuit

Country Royal for manager

Why would a manager who has been out of work for 8 years have an agent

After dinner speaking, football punditry gigs, etc, etc

[NathStPaul]

I know the majority aren't happy with a washed up, failed football manager taking over but we haven't seen what a Paul Ince team looks like yet. Let's at least give him until 10pm on Tuesday and reevaluate.

[genome]

Ummm

Aren't people overreacting to this? He's going to be in charge for probably about two weeks

[AthleticoSpizz]

Lol, has a decentish team to pick from….’no excuses’
