There is no evidence, how could there be? Other than his record as a player and the job he has done since he arrived at City.


There is hard evidence though that MP for whatever reason, is not getting a performance from the squad and does not have the capability or motivation to change things and get us back to at least the sum of our parts. Yes it would be high risk but at the moment our current momentum is taking us backwards at a rate of knots. Decisive action may be needed within a week depending on results and performance in the next 2 games if we are to finish top 4.

I've separated the two sentences above, because one has nothing to do with the other, the thread was whether PV should be appointed now, not whether MP should go, or change his methods, these are all covered in many other threads. All my comments in the thread are the reasons why I would say no at the moment, go back to the points I listed earlier and feel free to discuss them.

Actually there may well be evidence for PV getting the job now, but none of us fans have seen it, others at the club might have. He may well be highly respected by the first team players, but since we have rarely (if ever) seen him have any interactions with them, who on here can know ?

Your reasons are all logical and I agree with much that you say. The question is all about judgement and timing and there are serious risks in leaving MP at the helm or replacing him. It's down to which you think is the greater risk. It's just given the team performance since Christmas I think leaving him in charge is the greater. I may feel different after the next couple of games. I really hope so.........

Nah.....

 

[thekippax]

No. Would love to see Viera as manager one day but not yet.

 

[jimharri]

Quick question to the OP; who is this "Viera" bloke?

 

[northstander]

no first team managerial experience, doing a great job with the kids but different with ( so called ) mature players. maybe in the future.

its a NO from me

Today - no. However, depending on the performance rather than the result on Wednesday I may well change that to yes. Simple stats say that if we continue with this form and the chasing pack continue with there's, we will finish outside top 4. Does MP have the capability to turn our form round? God I hope so but evidence so far suggests not. I am suprised at all the definite no's I think that the call is much closer than that and finishing outside top 4 May have some pretty serious implications. I am not knee jerking on the basis of one result- more the evidence of this season. Hope I'm wrong.....

Lost 6 out of the last 14 mate so definitely not a knee jerk reaction. I just personally think we look flat, devoid of new ideas and think Patrick could lift us over the top 4 finishing line.

There are lots of thoughts about whether we should sack Pellers now, in the summer or plan a replacement at the end of his contact. The issue with this thread for me is that why would/should it be a good idea for the club fuck up twice?

Whatever the decision is with Pellers, appointing Paddy way ahead of his time would just destroy him and our strategy - crazy.

Paddy is, if all plans work out over the next 3-5 years or so, scheduled to be our future manager (perhaps) - why fuck that up by introducing him

a) before he is properly qualified,
b) before he has grown the skills/experience to handle the role - which must be a few years away,
c) at a time when the well established stars have no reason to see him as some dominant figure to be respected and obeyed and
d) at the time of the season when all this will likely fuck up the rest of the season and fuck up his future tenure??

Why - just why? Knee jerk only IMO.

Replacing Pellers is one topic - but now with Paddy????

 

[Chippy_boy]

no

No but his position should be reviewed at the end of the season.
