| What are people’s biggest gripe about GON 10:16 - Jun 20 with 5113 views | Blue_Heath | If the Naaridge connection then why was Nunez worshipped so much? His managerial record a bit mixed but he has kept two clubs up. Finally, be honest who had heard of KM 5 years ago? Would like to know your thoughts but let’s get behind him and hope we can put up a better fight of staying up than last time around. |  |

| What are people’s biggest gripe about GON on 10:50 - Jun 20 with 2897 views | Churchman | He can be ex-Norwich, Satan Allstars or Farage’s love child for all I care. The new manager is an employee of the club here to do a job. He’s not a supporter, the club was here before him and hopefully will be another with lots of honours against his name. Anything beyond his job forming a team that can compete, win a few games and play the game properly is just noise. He can praise the facilities, Ashton’s executive desk toys and kiss the badge until it drops off for all I care. Not interested. What I am interested in is to see him get a clean slate, no preconceptions, fresh start, maximum support and sufficient time to his job. Obviously, the only condition is that if he doesn’t like cheese, he’s dead to me. [Post edited 20 Jun 10:53]

What was shocking about getting a 15th place finish for a newly promoted team? Remember KM has the worst win % in premier league history for anyone who has manged 25+ matches. |  |

Similar enough to know he's not an obvious upgrade as surely that's what we should have been aiming for. |  | |  |

1 home win is so bad too. If we are going to stay up, that needs to be at least 5 or more. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Some of the other manager suggestions like Thomas Frank were delusional. He's earned the right to a higher job than our. Who would you have hired then? Keeping a team in the PL is definitely an improvement we'd all take right now. [Post edited 20 Jun 11:00]

Bournemouth: 39 points from 34 matches = 1.1 pts per match. KM at Ipswich: 22 points from 38 matches = 0.6 points per match. Similar? Bear in mind Parker had lost the first four matches for them |  |

Bournemouth: 39 points from 34 matches = 1.1 pts per match. Bear in mind Parker had lost the first four matches for them, and left on the back of a 9-0 defeat. KM at Ipswich: 22 points from 38 matches = 0.6 points per match. |  |

What stats are you referring to Frimmers? He did well enough at Bournemouth to secure the job permanently after initially being appoint on an interim basis. He also managed to keep them up when they were widely tipped for relegation. Would be interested to know what stats you mean? I know Sunderland for example have outperformed their XG this year but most people seem to think that's the route we should go down recruitment wise |  | |  |
| What are people’s biggest gripe about GON on 11:14 - Jun 20 with 2618 views | TrumptonBlue | I guess for most of us, our most recent memory of him as a manager is his Wolves team being an ill-disciplined shambles while losing at home to us. That won't have left a great impression. Otherwise, his record is OK, I guess. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but I'm not sure who would. I'm neither outraged nor excited. |  | |  |

Such a simple notion to throw around like it's a tick box on an online order. It's so easy to moan about some unknown but all conquering mythical person who would have simultaneously been absolutely brilliant, exciting but under the radar and available and wanting to come here. Do you think we weren't aiming for the best candidate somehow? What you're talking about, I assume, is taking a big risk on an unknown or inexperienced manager from the continent or wherever and chucking them straight in to a relegation dog fight in the toughest league in the world. I don't especially love the appointment but I'm coming round to the pragmatism of it and the reality of the situation. |  | |  |

The simplest answer is the XG and Xpts, they were the worst in the division that year. Their goal difference was also terrible. Made the point elsewhere but they were saved by a freak 5 wins in 7 in the April, and a few those were very much against the run of play. Was a similar story the season after at Wolves outperformed their XG and XPts considerably, admittedly they were better on those than the 3 relegated sides, but given how poor they were, i dont consider that a huge endorsement for what was a the time an established Premier League side. The season where he didn't outperform the underlying metrics, we all know what happened. I've made the point elsewhere, but it feels like a very lazy appointment that feels poor to okay on first thought, and has felt worse and worse the more I've looked into it. Will back the team all the way, just cannot shake the feeling that it's late June and we've already thrown away our best chance to stay in the Premier League in 20 years. |  | |  |

I'll give more credence to real points, and league position. For genuine comparison are they Gary O'Neil stats, or Bournemouth stats? Have you removed Scott Parkers 4 heavy losses from those stats? [Post edited 20 Jun 11:28]

Yes, they are O'Neils stats taking out Parkers 1 win and 3 defeats. |  | |  |

I shared them al last night The reason he got sacked was for each metric other than the league position itself bournwmouth were down the bottom They were helped massively by the gk making over 100 saves and solanke who scotered a lot of goals that were extremely unlikely to be scored. Its why he got sacked. Bournemouth knew they got lucky that season to do it twice would have been unlikely. |  |

Would he get sacked for that here, or praised?! Keeping us up despite many stats and metrics saying we shouldn't be? I assume that's almost what's got him the job! Ability to exist in a struggling situation, scrap it out, get points against the odds. Similarly, if he does it for a season or a bit more, I expect we'd then maybe upgrade but he'd have take us up a level by that point. |  | |  |

O'Neil's Wolves had Semedo, Ait Nouri, Sarabia, Guedes, Strand Larsen and Cunha whilst he was floundering badly and making us look ok in comparison with our squad of Championship All Stars. Strand Larsen aside, all of those departed in the summer leaving Pereira with a threadbare and low quality squad to work with. They then brought in Rob Edwards, who's previous managerial record included a reasonable Premier League with Luton, all things considered, then a meltdown. Why does that sound familiar? |  |
