Gareth Taylor sacked

Not surprised at all. Should have gone at the end of last season after the tactical disaster against Arsenal when the league was thrown away. Theres been a steady decline in standards for some time and the football recently has been slow and predictable, insistence on keeping the ball and passing back far too much. Criminal with the outstanding quality of attacking players at the managers disposal. We should be ripping into opponents and creating fear and havoc instead we've become placid and teams now they can soak up pressure and counter attack swiftly and we're wide open at the back. I think the men's teams are finding this out too, so this 'city way' needs a rethink.
However I suspect the main issue with Taylor is his poor relationships with the players, there have been a few examples of breakdowns resulting in quite of few being forced out of the club. Reading Stephs book I get the impression she is not his biggest fan!
Cushing coming in could be a master stroke because I think an uplift in moral could reap rewards as we have the ability to beat Chelsea in the next four games. Certainly I have a sneaky feeling that the ceo and the well respected technical director of football at the club have a plan up their sleeves for next season, whether that's with Cushing back up by Steph and Izzy or maybe some top lady coach remains to be seen.
Onwards and upwards!!
 
It's been building for some time, disappointing results, concerning performances, internal discord.

Probably should've happened in November to give a replacement the opportunity to get more from individuals and the team.

Too early for Gundo ??
 
Not if they want to actually win them.
True, but for all his short comings, he managed them to a final and a great opportunity to reach another. Cushing will not claim any success if we do succeed
 
Thought it was odd days after Bunny was racially abused and he said he’d not spoke to her about it yet. Summed up his people management skills tbh.
Yeah, a good manager would have prioritised that. It shocked me when he said it.
 
How long is the England Women's team managers contract
I did wonder if maybe this was the plan all along and he'd been given a new deal because their number one target wasn't available until this summer. Talk at the weekend that Taylor's got a job lined up in USA for next season. Maybe they've decided to go early and take the hit of the disruption caused
 
Another "average" Manager sacked with x2 years left on a x3 year contract signed only last March...

How do they do it...?

He will be sat on the beach next to ten hag with a towel on the next sunbed reserved for amorim.....
 
Timing is weird but the women’s team hasn’t kept up with the progress other clubs have made.I don’t think this will happen to Pep, losing Tiki and a few ageing players needs a bit of stability, even if we get sanctions or fail to qualify for the CL.
 
I applaud Taylor’s dismissal but Kelly has been pure poison since she left.
Can’t really blame her if the stories about Taylor are correct which they likely are
