Quoted from male private Nale


I will tell you exactly what he signed for , 2k a week for 2 years and a move back home in his own bed every night. He knew exactly what he was walking into when he signed. Do not believe he had ideas of a promotion run unlike half you lot.

Quoted from GrimRob
The caretaker team had the right idea. Take what we had, and make a few small adjustments they had probably been wanting to do for ages. Instead we have appointed someone who literally wants to tear up the plan and start again with a new plan that is borderline insane. Managers never last long who do that.


It is also the style that our owners prefer to be played.

Quoted from Boonsy


He has a bloody good point, how many absolute drubbings are we going to accept before DA is found to be a poor selection.. 6-1 suggests he hasn’t got a clue about his squad, not a bloody clue


Actually he has.  He knows that Waterfall has no pace for a start.  He also knows that some of the squad give up when the going gets tough.  He knows that some players find making a 10 yard pass difficult, an absolute basic skill for a professional footballer.  He also knows that decision making is not something we are good at, and apart from Waterfall, we don't have a leader on the pitch.

Grimrob, you have put your finger on it.  There are two choices..

1. Decide on the best format and style for players we have and improve their performance
2. Decide what format and style you want to play. Get the board to agree and back the new style with new players who have the ability to play the new style.

At the moment DA is trying to introduce a new style with many players ill equipped to play that way.  Today’s result is hardly a surprise although the scale of the defeat is alarming


You need to do better research.  The board actually said they wanted to see this style of play, that's another reason why DA was their first choice.  Look it up!

It's alright wanting a style of play, but you have to work towards getting there. It's not as simple of completely changing on day one.

Quoted from Yoda
Rose is good
Elisa is ok
Couldn’t care if the rest went.

DA is paid 150k a year to sort out our squad so crack on.


So, who told you how much DA is getting?

Quoted from headingly_mariner


And I'm saying none of that means Artell doesn't have any responsibility for the result. Our biggest league loss at home since the 40's?

Just listened to his interview and even more worried now. All the blame piled on the players, no responsibility taken, it was like he's had intercourse all to do with it.

As a said it's too early to tell yet, but there are warning signs he is undoing the good work of the caretaker management team.

I really hope he's the genius he makes out he is.



Yes, and rightly so, all the goals were the result of individual errors, and the players gave up once we went behind.  And where did he say he was a genius?

Quoted from Spidey
I hope Artell does well, but he is a little eccentric. For example during the match he was having banter with Walsall’s right back Knowles on the touch line and at one point he jokingly grabbed his shirt when Knowles was getting ready to take the throw in. Also during the game he went over to a ball boy put his arm around him and told him where the ball needed to go on the side of the pitch. He also regularly turns his back on the game to speak with the subs and back room staff on the bench, this can last for quite a few seconds. He was also picking up juice bottles from around the dugout!!
You need to concentrate on the game more, Dave!


You need to get a life mate.

That’s a really poor original post.

The guys been here for 5 minutes, hasn’t even recruited a single player yet, and has so far worked with a coaching team that he’s never worked with before.

Judge him after next summer I say


Good post, agree.
