Time to purchase a bungalow in Bournemouth and put his feet up for a bit.

What took the Eisners four years took the O's a few months!

If they carry on in their current vein of form they’ll drop out of the league, and it all started so well.

At last another club see the dinosaur for what he is, a very average lower league manager with out dated ideas

I saw a couple of highlights of O's games on TV & they looked half decent but it didn't take him long to coach that out of therm! Non-League Next Stop.

If you can call successful as falling at the last hurdle more than once whilst spending millions on largely failing to preform players all the while playing some of our most boring football for decades, then I'd say you have a point.

When would you have sacked him? When we were top of the table? In the play offs? When would you have sacked DC? How many years of his equally boring and most importantly losing brand of football?

Immediately after Sunderland play offs when he bottled it completely.

I'd have sacked Jackett after the Sunderland play off, Cowley can go now please.

Kenny did well on a very limited budget until he spent the cup money (that he made) on two strikers who ultimately let him down.
24-02-2022, 10:34 AM
I would never have appointed Jackett in the first place , however as mentioned by others I would have binned the dinosaur after the Sunderland debacle( or the Coventry shambles). As regards DC , I’m happy to give him until Xmas.

> Kenny did well on a very limited budget until he spent the cup money (that he made) on two strikers who ultimately let him down.<
Explain very well??? Failing in what his remit was ? He scouted the players before buying them plus they didn’t suit his abysmal tactics. He spent over £2M on Harrison,Harness and Marquis FFS, never mind the loan signings of Vaughn, Bogle, Otabar?, the so called striker from Wolves , Downing. How anyone can defend him is ridiculous.

I take your Vaughan, Bogle, Otabor and Mason and raise you Lloyd Isgrove, David Wheeler, Sylvain Deslandes and Matty Kennedy. In his defence he did bring in Raggs, Walkes and, of course, Thompson on loan who I all thought were decent players, but his overall loan record was abysmal.

So you’d get rid of a manager who consistently had the team at the top of the table and play offs but keep a bloke who has us mid table playing awful football having spunked his budget on a striker who doesn’t touch the ball let alone score? ??

We find out next season what DC is made of. You could argue that he's doing the same as Kenny did in his first full season.
For the record though, I agree our signings have been really poor. In addition, there is far too much to do in the summer. The whole club will need to pull several rabbits out of the hat for next year to be successful. However, I'm trying to be as patient as possible and give them the opportunity to get it right.

kenny was tasked with improving season on season.
That he did. Until the team completely collapsed from top at Christmas. I still don't get why that happened. With any sort of form we would have been in the play offs at least. The players always get off pretty much scot free while the manager gets criticised for years. At the same time they pretty much all get a pay rise or signing on fee by moving on while managers get sacked and cash in every time. its just us poor saps left watching as more players come in and flatter to deceive

I’m happy with the majority of DC’s signings, the football is marginally better under DC , I’m happy to give him until Xmas to see if it improves. Jackett left us with a weaker team than what he inherited and unfortunately had left DC with a rebuild .I fail to see how Jackett improved season after season because if that were true we’d be in the championship. Our collapse against Sunderland was atrocious.
DC has also not had the millions to spend that Jackass did. If by Xmas DC is not improving then I’m more than happy for him to go. My allegiance is with the team not the manager.

The football under jackett was definately worse. DC is more naieve (tactically) than Jackett but slightly less defensive.
Results under DC are worse but as I said, this is Y1 of Cowleys team and is about on par (results wise) with Kennys Y1 team, which had far better players than now.

Our collapse against Sunderland was atrocious. The tactics are different but the tactics aren’t followed the majority of the time as the players either can’t play the system or don’t know what the system is.

As a matter of interest what is the system?
