I won’t

[alcazar]

Eight points

[alcazar]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:
Butler is out of his depth.
His stubbornness and arrogance are, once again, costing us points.
Time to move him on and get someone who knows this league.
And I don’t care HOW it’s paid for, because, as has been stated before, a drop back to NLN would be a disaster, both in terms of support and of finances.
Wake up directors.
He needs to go.
Don’t care HOW much Michelle likes him.

Good start again, conceded after only 7 minutes.
Have we changed from conceding in the last fifteen to conceding in the first fifteen?

Wonder if he’s a Dire Straits fan?

Yes, but sadly one of the few top bands I never saw.

No chance he’ll play the same team unless Carlisle play 5-3-2. He’s obsessed with matching up whatever the opposition do at any cost even if it means using players out of position. (Which it does!!)

Cowardice

Nah.
Never been a conformist.
And wear my heart on my sleeve.
Didn’t endear me to a couple of bosses, since if I think someone is a tosser, they know it😂

Non political?

Not political at all.
The only mention of governmentS, plural, being that it is they calling out the fuel companies for profiteering, not us, the consumer.
Which is the opposite of the usual.

Rated Tyler in his first season with us.
He’s not been the same under Butler.

[alcazar]

I’m convinced that what we are seeing is more of Butler’s arrogance and stubbornness.

I reckon if the board won Euro millions and went out and signed Killian Mbappe, the lad wouldn’t get game time under Butler, “Not my player, I didn’t sign him…”
It’s also known as stupidity.

[alcazar]

Agreed IA.
But…
We did concede first.
We do seem to be mediocre financed on third best crowds.
So unless there’s someone with money waiting in the wings, what WILL change?

“We need to survive this season and push on for the next”.
Why?
What will change?
Nothing.

[alcazar]

Is Whitehall injured?
Howe on the bench.
Brennan on the bench.
I’m sorry to say he’s sleepwalking to getting sacked.
Tonight’s team looks cowardly, yet again, against the bottom team in the league who have conceded ten in three games.
Better go defensive then.
🙄🙄🙄

Couple of interviews from the Manager and the Chair, not listened but Michelle has responded to those calling for Butler’s head.

Not sacked him, sadly.

I see half a dozen European governments want a windfall tax on fuel companies who are, once again, profiteering on petrol and diesel.
UK seems reasonable, but in France, they are holding petrol at €2.08-€2.10, with 1-2 cents added every few days. (That’s £1.95-£2 a litre😳)
They get people used to paying over €2 per litre, it’ll never go down.
And government are complicit, with fuel tax, then VAT, so a tax on a tax.
As prices rise, they look the other way and rake the cash in. 😡

[alcazar]

That’d be the vomitorium

The turnstile is for entry.
The vomitory is the larger doors for exit.

Are we in danger of dropping a league after just three games in?, rather knee jerk IMO unless some have a set agenda against the current manager

I admit it.
I didn’t want him.
I don’t want him.
I don’t rate him

Second season, again chucking points away, multiple substitutions, strange formations, square pegs in round holes, setting up to counter opposition, trying to sit on one goal leads, refusing to sign a decent GK, etc.
What has changed? What has he learned?
And if he’s not learning, time to go.
No place for stubborn arrogance at this level.

You’re discounting the possibility that there might now be a bad apple in amongst it all.

Of course I am.
I have no insider knowledge whatsoever.
But Butler is supposed to be the MANAGER.
Again, if he isn’t strong enough, time to go.
Can you imagine Cloughie with a bad apple?

Out of interest, do you know of one? Here, I mean

Get him gone before it’s too late.
NLN again would be a disaster, and just might spell THE END.

How do you propose the club fund this move?

If he had an ounce of decency he’d resign.
You don’t hold the club you supposedly love to ransom.

How is he holding the club to ransom

By holding us to a contract in which he has failed, but still gets paid?
He should just resign.
If he’s as good as HE thinks, he’ll get another job.
Alternatively, perhaps the director(s) who kept extending his contract, when most of us were perplexed as to why, would pay him off?

He’ll be listening on Friday night if you tell it him. Go on, we could do with some Bhuna style entertainment.

How’s that?
At the game?
Nearly been started on twice for telling him last season.

The Directors should always take a holistic approach to the financial pros and cons of keeping or sacking any manager. It could be financially detrimental to keep a failing manager for too long to save money in the short term whilst risking plummeting gates and relegation to NLN, which I assume would be financially worse in the long run

Unless, of course, they feel that their outgoings would be reduced should we drop a league again?
Just saying…

[alcazar]

This^^^^
To me it’s tantamount to cowardice to try and set up to counter another team.
It says, “They are better than us, so we need to be afraid of what they can do”.
To do it EVER at home is unforgivable.
Are you listening Butler?
