Ok then lets say coyle has been sacked for another 2 defeats.We are in the beginning of december so the new manager would have half a season to save us.We are probably 4 points behind 17th place.We have little to no money to spend in the transfer window and we are probably going to sell are best defender.
With this in mind who would you want to take over from coyle?
Who do you think could come and do a better job with the resources we have?
If we change the manager that would probably use up most of the transfer kitty to.
I think the only way is to keep coyle and give him as much money as we can and hope he can keep us up,its not the best plan but its probably what Gartside is thinking...
Management is all about making the best use of resources available to you.
To put ot as simply as I can, Coyle is not getting anything like the best out of his players because he doesn't know how to 'read' the game and organise them accordingly.
We are talking about very, very simple basic things.
For instance anyone who had eyes could see playing Petrov in front of Robinson was a massive liability - we got raped for week after week, month after month because Petrov left the whole left flank (and Robinson) completely exposed.
Can you think of any other manager who would not have seen this obvious flaw in the team and done something about it after a game or two? Coyle for whatever reason known only to him - either simply was to stupid to see the problem, or totally clueless as to how to fix it.
Any other manager would have sorted that out months ago and we would probably be what say 5 or 6 points better off by now!
And that is just one glaringly obvious example of why a decent manager can get more out of the same team than a poor one can.
I've already said someone like Dave Jones could come in a do a very good job for us in the short term and be a relatively cheap appointment.
To continue with a manager who is strategically clueless is simply football suicide.
We've lost FOURTEEN out of our last league 17 games - do you or anyone else really thinks Coyle is suddenly overnight going to become a competent footballing strategist able to outsmart the opposition and take points off them - I don't.
If I had asked you 17 games ago if you would still want Coyle as our manager if he were to lose a whopping 82% of the matches up to and including Saturdays West Brom game - I think nearly everyone would have said no - yet here we are and that is exactly what he has done.
How much longer are people prepared to give him?
Dose anyone honestly think he is a good manager anymore?
