Do we need another thread on Pellegrino’s future?

Don’t think that thread helps you argument.
Only two things stood out.
- lost 3 of 3 at 2012(nice stats and how old is he now?).
2)Puel is a cunt(consistent, if possibly wrong. How are Leicester doing?).
Interesting point. The sages over at Fiverweb we’re convinced that no one would join a team in a relegation battle. Sturridge joined West Brom who are below us. We signed Carrillo and would have signed Promes if his club had let him go. Walcott apparently was going to come but went for higher wages. For a manager outside of those with CL ambitions it is a decent gig still.
Gareth Rogers was CEO.
Department heads reported to him. He interpreted the strategic messaging of the board into language the heads could understand.
The department heads interpreted that into tasks for their minions.
Gareth left. He has not been replaced. Nobody is communicating with department heads who have no leadership or decisions being made.
They are winging it based on the last instructions they received.
We are more utterly ducked than even Bazza could imagine.
Would be my assessment as a consultant and writer of business plans and strategy documentation.
I am NOT wrong.
From that you can infer the obvious.
There is no process in place or rudder to even understand let alone decide a plan to solve our problems. So media team roll out random shit Ralph & Gap expand commercial revenue opportunities
And Les says we need to make a decision and gets the "too busy opening academies in China text message.
It’ worse than Bazza could begin to imagine need to re-empathise that. Even the taxi drivers are suicidal
Imho of course
But we have rented nice offices in London
why
Are we going to be another Franchise club?
Would this mans win/lose record be allowed to keep his job in any other League club?
I don’t know Barry. What do the Chinese say?
They’d try and flog you some blag ovaltine and slippers I know that much.
Either:-
-
Blind stupidity
-
Negligence
-
Accpetance of relegation so no point
-
Don’t want to make a pay off
Take your pick, none of them make it any better.
Barry, why are you not upvoting this! I did it for you!
If Southampton were a sandwich it be beef paste or at a push a cheese and tomato…
Or it simply could just be that the Board believe in him and have made a decision to stand by him? The fans are the first to point fingers when players and managers jump ship for bigger and better clubs. Showing loyalty nowdays is unusual, but perhaps the club should get some credit for doing so.
Of course, if we never win another match under Mauricio you have to wonder why they have been so loyal, but still…

You missed deliberate.by the board
Get relegated undermine shareholder value pick up club from Admin make 200 mil profit in 6 years.
That would come under 1 or 2 in my book based on the evidence so far!
Given the way the club has been run over the last 7 years I dont think the people running it are either negligent or stupid. I also dont think that they would worry about the pay off should they decide that the time is up. It didnt bother them with Puel. I think they either really belive in him to turn things round, and if so I hope their faith is rewarded, or their other options are not available so it is stick with what we have until they are. I am not saying that MP is the man, but at some point soon I’d like us to have a manager who stays around for more than 5 minutes and builds something substantial.
It’s an interesting experiment! Is there much data for a Prem League manager getting consistently shit results for the first 6 months at a club, and not getting sacked.
I mean Moyes last year I suppose, but that ended badly. Any examples of a manager Turning It Round?
