I’m getting fed up with owners trying to influence the style of play at a football club . I’m guessing PH was told what to do and obviously that was never going to work was it ? What do owners know about football? About the same as me and you !!!! . Let the manager take care of football


What a wally..

Quoted from ginnywings
If they have stuck their hands in their pockets and shelled out millions for the privilege, then they have every right to decide what direction they want the club to go in, and recruit a suitable manager for that purpose.

It was hardly sparkling entertainment under the previous boss was it?


I’m not sure I give 2 f***s who decides to play what way. What I would like, is that somebody can teach our handsomely paid, very well backed professional footballers how to take a corner with a f***ing basic level of competence. Just 1 in every 7 or 8 would be a huge upgrade.

I think what the board are asking for is a pretty broad style of play centred around pressing from the front and looking to take the game to the opposition. I do think Hurst was tasked with being less pragmatic this season and we recruited to that brief, but he quickly reverted to type, which was ultimately his downfall.

In Artell, they have recruited a manager that has successfully got promoted from this division playing attractive football. Anyone can talk about doing it but he's done it. Having a clear identity and general style of play increases the chance of young players coming through because all of our teams can play to that style of play.

And any opposition can do their research, which Harrogate applied very competently today. DA made the changes in midfield relatively early, but no manager can plan for the utter non-defending for the second goal.

I'm not sure what's more embarrassing.
People leaving after 70 minutes of a game or people booing when we give the ball away or this post. Some fickle, fragile egos involved in all of the above.

Artell looks like nobodies fool, can't imagine he's the type of bloke who would let owners interfear with tactics or selections.

Junk thread.

I think the handsomly paid for many players at league 2 level is open to interpretation .
