| Mick is the problem, not Marcus. 07:35 - Oct 16 with 45238 views | amy73 |
Having seen virtually every game this season, I think we have a decent squad of players (some real gems in there) but there is something deeply wrong with the following:
training
Fitness and Injuries
selection
formation
tactics
substitutions
None of these problems - none of them at all - are down to Marcus. Blame him for the catering if you like, but not this.
I truly believe with a better manager, we could be top of the league. With Mick, I think it can never happen, because I just don't think he and TC have the ability to manage at a high level.
I hope Marcus acts sooner rather than later. I know he has been at most games this season so he can't be blind to this. I hope he is starting to look for a replacement now. [Post edited 16 Oct 2017 7:42]

Yeah but we are lucky to have Mick!
All of the other Championship clubs would love a manager like Mick.
I just hope he doesnt get another two years here !
Mick Out! |  |

We are nowhere near a top of the table team.
We have some journeymen players coupled with some young players.
We are in a rebuild season and hopefully building a platform for us to go from in future years. Whether Mick is here or not next year, they will have a better base from which to build from than before last summer.
We are a mid table side, Evans let it drift financially for 18 months at least and we are now in the process of playing catch up. 2015 was the time to back Mick as we had the basis of a decent side, but he tried to do it on the cheap and we regressed. |  | | |

Agree with all that.
Except form the journeymen players bit, what journeymen players do we currently have in our squad? I can count a grand total of 0. |  |

Fitness and Injuries
selection
formation
tactics
substitutions | | | |

"We are in a rebuild season" Jeez, how many of these have we had since Evans arrived? People say it every bloody season. [Post edited 16 Oct 2017 8:32]

Utterly delusional.
No manager is going to ever succeed here if some supporters can't understand what we are up against in this division with the funding model we have.
It's getting to the stage where Mick may as well just walk away, because there is so much irrational dislike of him here when he is doing a good job with what he has at his disposal. |  |

What is it about the training that you have seen that is sub standard? |  |

But....is he? People keep saying that. I certainly believed it for a while. But our form for the last 18 months has been awful, we always have 5 or 6 injuries which may or may not be to do with things like training and rehab, we see a different formation every couple of weeks which I accept could be down to said injuries, and have we honestly seen any player improve in the last 18 months? I can think of Jonas. |  |

When Mick does go, I do fear for his replacement straight away.
If he's not deemed as "fit to be an ITFC Manager" on appointment and then not deliver a couple of wins straight away, then he's heading down the same route as Mick with some of our support.
Should Mick leave before Christmas, are they board likely to take a chance on an up-and-coming, young manager? I'd suspect not. Expect a dog-of-war type who, strangely enough, sees this role as simply a job and not the creation of memories and wonderful footballing nights under the floodlights that some crave for still. | |

It'll be Pardew, Karanka or Nigel Pearson. | |

Kenny Jackett was my guess in the summer.
EDIT - as for Karanka, people would cream themselves with the thought of us getting him in as he's from abroad, but the fact is he plays worse football than Mick does! [Post edited 16 Oct 2017 8:56]

Waghorn would be one - but yeah we don’t have many |  |

Genuinely think we are.
You don't go from 17th or wherever we were to top 2 without major investment and even then it doesn't really happen. | | | |

Why is he a journeyman? Only played for 4 clubs in his career.
For me a journeyman is someone that is approaching the end of his career & is just going from club to club every year or 2. | |

See Leroy Lita towards the end of his career. | |

Personally, think they are both culpable. Until both are moved on, then sadly we'll just drift along rudderless. Appreciate that getting them both to leave is easier said than done! | |

We’re his fifth permanent club and he’s played for 8 in total... | |

I've got my own tribute threads now, which is nice.
Both Benters & Texters beat me to it. It was busy, funnily enough. | |
