Sack Sol to keep a bit part 19 year old ? Good grief. And get who as manager ? The bit part players dad ?
I don't think GBJ and the rest of us are suggesting that. The question covers the wider aspect of Chairman over Manger and how it affects their.
Many of you think a managers has the right and should exercise that right to overrule his Chairman. Some of you think it should always be the way with Ron. Sorry to disappoint but thats not how it works.
Before we go any further, none of us know whats really going on behind the scenes and we have no prove that Ron and Sol have fallen out over Hutch or anyone else. There obviously has to be some give and take, like any of you have when you work for the owner of a business.
PB told me directly that he has worked for far worse chairman than Ron.
The modern manager has a very short life expectancy.....Every Chairman has a 5 year plan, in most cases the targets are not achievable and with never enough money. The fans now have social media, which means the people you avoid like the plague in the pub now get a voice. As we have witnessed in recent times lots of mangers are disliked before they set foot in the club. Some fans will be desperate to prove their point and have 'campaign' style threads every week.
The worse thing that has emerged from all this....Players can now down tools whenever they like and the manger gets the blame. There have been more than a dozen claims of the worst ever performance in the last months. Some are just drama queen stuff, like 0-1 up at Rochdale and some because of the score like 1-7 v Donny. The worse one for me was 3-0 rochdale at home because the fans wanted Bond out, so were happy to lose and those p*** takers were happy to oblige. It will be denied now but at the time they were still pulling the wool over far to many eyes.
Sol came here obviously expecting to be able to change things. Both with the squad he inherited and by signing a few in Jan. Some players were on a go slow and deliberately divisive in the changing room. He couldn't change them and neither could AB have done because they wanted to be elsewhere. Combine that with too higher wages and we find ourselves in a real sad state of affairs.
Nobody complained when Ron was overspending. Just like Bury fans its exactly what you demanded, in fact some of you still want it now and risk next season.
Anyway Ron will survive and so will the club. We will sign some more experienced players in the summer and hopefully retained enough of best academy lads to see some good football next season.
Whatever you think of Sol, he will join the long list of good men who find that SUFC ruins your managerial career. Even though it won't be his fault, the fans of the next club (if there is one) will just see a failure turning up.....So unlike us, he really is F*****.
