He is looking after number 1
He is one arrogant individual who will find out sooner rather than later that he has lost the dressing room if he continues with publicly lambasting our players

I totally agree with everything he said. However the fact he said it means this does not end well. Delaying removing him from post will just leave us in the same position as the end of Fosters tenure where the players now will down tools and go on strike. If im honest i wouldnt mind Simon Hallett sacking Rooney and 95% of the playing squad

The fan base was divided at his appointment 50% want WR to do well because he is Wayne Rooney and the other 50% want him gone….because he is Wayne Rooney and his past management record….i think he will walk this week and then who????

""It's a big embarrassment.

"I thought we did OK in the first half and then in the second I could feel them coming at us a bit more and I made changes to try and help us with that.

"But after we conceded the first goal the players collapsed. This is something I have told the players. It was the same at Norwich away and Leeds away.

"When you want to have a career in football you have to dig deep at times. I feel the players showed a lack of character and fight after we conceded the first goal and that was really disappointing."

This is enough to get him sacked. Surely. The man is a disgrace. You simply don't do this.

The problem is that all he is really doing is berating the players for not being good enough and then telling them that they need to be better, something which doesn't actually help them do so because if they were better he wouldn't need to say this to them in the first place.

Birmingham fans did warn us that he’d regularly throw the players under the bus.

I doubt he will walk. If he does that he is, in effect, waving goodbye to a future career as a football coach/manager and that seems to be something that he wants very much. But if he does go, whether of his own accord or because he is sacked he may well go on the attack to lay as much blame at the foot of Argyle as he can so as to try to save whatever he can of his reputation (although everything I have heard from his so far suggests that he is not the kind of person who would go in too hard in this respect).

Yup - he’s absolutely right in what he says. But, this is as good as it gets with our B team I’m afraid.

 

[Cobi Budge]

He won’t walk. He’s desperate to be a manager. Walking would close the door on his career.

 

[East DevonGreen]

He sounds fed up. We're fed up.
I think it best for everyone if he leaves by mutual consent.

he will never manage another club in england.utterly clueless.

Walking and blaming recruitment is one way of trying ( and failing) to salvage his reputation

 

[Kenny Pester]

Sounds like there's no "team" mentality. Always refers to it as "the players". Very much an Us and You approach. I don't like it and a few games ago I was on the fence, now I want him and the footballing side at Argyle to go. A whole fresh slate.

he might as well walk cobi,he aint a manager and never will be.
