The problem is none of these cretins including Gartslime will ever admit it's their fault or they weren't up to it and resign which is why, whatever it costs ED has to act and cut out the cancer before it gets even worse, which it obviously will. The very worst thing of all was that lucky run we had last season after he came in which completely concealed the ineptness of Freedman and co and led to people claiming give him more time look what he did last season, took us to the fringe of the play offs. No matter what evidence was before their own eyes they still cling to this ridiculous notion that it was down to DF's wonderful management so give him more time. Ridiculous, get rid whilst we still have a chance to recover and re-instate JP and LSL who genuinely care about the club and can see the problems we have. We don't have to bring anyone else in we have more than enough knowledge and talent within the existing structure to get by and I believe succeed.
I think you go too far 63, while we did have a bit of luck along the way, last seasons run was built on a sound defence and Chris Eagles scoring goals. Fair play to Dougie, he brought Dawson in and that was a masterstroke, but his biggest mistake was not offering all his Summer cash to WBA to tempt them. I'm sure we all agree we'd be a better team with the players that ended last season with the addition of Dawson.
Dawson or Tierney, Baptiste, Hall & Beckford. It's a no brainer. Quality over quantity.
And while there's no guarantee Dawson would have wanted to come or WBA would sell, I just feel we didn't try hard enough and Freedman was counting on being able to get him back on loan.
I just don't understand your point about Jimmy Phillips. He has less experience than Freedman, yet you continually criticise Freedman for his inexperience. Phillips did ok after Coyle was sacked, but many managers have a good first few games as the players tend to up their game in the short-term, I just don't think you can read much into his win record.
I'm all for sacking Freedman, but the man who comes in must be young and experienced in League 1or 2 football i.e. Karl Robinson or that bloke from Walsall whose name escapes me or seasoned managers who know how to manage in the Championship like Big Mick, Billy Davies or Tony Pulis.
