Argyle without Schuey

[doozer]

Since hallett arrived the ethos of the club has been to outperform our budget ..schuey managed this with a mix of man management skills , innovative tactics and good in play tactical changes …since he’s left (pre , during and after foster ) we’ve looked exactly what we are , a club with the lowest budget in the championship.

Having seen what’s happened since he’s left It’s elevated my opinion of his achievements here ( as much as it pains me to say it) .

I love nance , as the players obviously do but there s only so far enthusiasm and bleeding green can get you in this league when your up against sides with much bigger budgets and experienced tactically astute managers in their dugouts.

I think we got lucky with schuey and finding another manager that can spectacularly outperform the budget in such an entertaining manner is gonna be a big ask

If Stoke were to sack Schumacher, I’d have him back.

No way is that going to happen though!
….well Stoke may sack him, but no way is he coming back here.

We’ve been in free fall since he left and last night demonstrated how far we have slipped. He had been inspirational for us but left at an awful time for us.

that player, what's his name?
Budget that's it, has a lot to answer for

I wouldn’t have him back at any cost. You would never be able to trust him.

It wasn't only Schumacher. It was the fact he took the assistant manager, goal keeping coach and fitness and conditioning coach all at the same time, then swooped in to take Cundle.
Azaz going as well left us reeling, no wonder we've struggled since.

It increasingly looks like we didn't have the budget to get like-for-like replacements and had to go for youth players, irrespective of the fact that we had Foster

But a very good time for him, he saw what was coming, with lack of money, the way the fixtures fell and the players that were leaving.

He ran like a rat.

Great coach though.

A year ago I rather liked the plan of using loan players to develop and help us forward., Since then it has become apparent that "season long loans" only last until the January window. Our strategy has been caught out. We need to re-think when assembling a squad for next season (whatever league we're in)

Simple use all your budget on your own players in summer and then don't spend in January but secure loans to end of season to supplement your squad

This is why SH has put such store and finance into the academy. It will hopefully give us a higher standard of youngster to blood then sell.

100% My assessment since day one - he bottled the challenge once he saw the enormity of it

 

[Belfast Green]

He has almost as big a challenge at Stoke now that they got done 3-0 tonight.

 

[Dreamgreen]

He’s got poor results with a bigger budget. Go figure !

 

[Guiri Green]

Schumachers Stoke are currently one point and one position higher in the table than us with a goal difference -10 worse than ours. They've just lost 3 -0 away to Swansea and a chunk of the Stoke suporters want him out.

Maybe he did see he was going to struggle here as the season wore on but assumed it was our finances, facilites and lack of relative status within the league that was the problem, so he moved to somewhere that was better on all fronts......turns out that at this level, long term, maybe it's him after all.

 

[IJN]

The fan base don't like him, the management team above him were planning to dump him.

Nothing to figure Malc, he has no credit with them like he did us.
