Sage SACKED, according to reports

Sage should have gone after the Brighton game.

Even now we’re dillying and dallying - tells you all need to know about Parish absolutely clueless.

We’ve already given up 3 games after Brighton - now we’re wasting time again - just beggars belief.

It must be like death by a thousand cuts to Sage.

Just unreal and inept Chairmanship.

It might be easier if you pin a post somewhere listing the things you consider Parish to have done to an acceptable standard!

Shouldn't take too long! 🤣

Get real Mate - our transfer dealings in the last 2 windows have led to this.

That’s all on Parish - don’t believe this cobblers that he’s stepped aside to let others deal with it.

I’ve said many times - yes he’s our greatest Chairman and he rightfully deserves credit for that.

But he’s just managed to throw all the progression we’ve made down the drain.

Now he’s procrastinating again over replacing a Manager that clearly isn’t right for us given the squad Parish presented him with.

Just don’t give me all that “what he’s done right nonsense” that was then this is now..!!

You remind me of my Mrs! 🤣
 
Football teams must be so hard to run. Especially a club like ours. I do think parish is a knob and should prob leave now, he’s had a good run and done amazing. But now think about it… he’s made some mistakes over last couple years whilst trying to do the right thing, in regards to the building stadium getting in a decent manager in glasner ( who let’s face it was a risk at the time) however glasner worked out good. Parish tried to keep the spending low to fund the stadium etc annoying glasner and led to his departure . He then gets sage who on paper should be good manager, so paid the compensation to get him, he’s turned out crap and parish is now trying to re coup some of the wasted money I assume so he doesn’t look like so much of idiot. All of this has massively backfired on us and parish is in charge so to speak so has to take the hit also .

Ways out of our problem, surely has to be defensive manager safe bet like Dyche, work with the people we got hopefully get a good defender or two in January and stay in the premiership and look to start all over again come summer.

I don’t want dyche particularly but we need a safe pair of eyes over palace at the moment otherwise we could be relegated and struggle coming back .

We tasted a bit of success for a while with some great players over the last couple years and a decent manager and weve lossed it all.

Parish please leave the party, taxi is outside .
 
It will be a massive achievement to stay in the premiership this season whilst also reorganising our back room staff especially the transfer strategy. We are taking too many chances with young unproven players and putting them straight into the front line.Again Parrish has to get this appointment right more than ever

Mate I’m not having a pop at you - I’m seriously not.

I’m just so frustrated that all the progression we’ve made is just being wasted.

And that’s all on Parish.

I didn't think you were having a pop at me. You'd have to take time out from having a pop at Parish to do that! 😉

Seriously, I understand the frustration. I couldn't believe the club sold Lacroix and Munoz last summer, especially having sold so many senior players before. I felt they were playing moneyball instead of sticking to the fundamentals of football teams. I also couldn't believe they spent £45m on Larsen, even before I got to see up close how crap he is. Finally, I also felt at the time that there was not enough connection between the realistic budget, the approach to squad building, and the choice of manager last summer.

I think where you and I seem to differ is that I recognise how many important things I don't know. I don't know if lacroix had to go for FFP in Europe, or whether they thought they'd lose Mateta and end up with nobody if they didn't pay the asking price for Larsen, or what efforts they made to strengthen the defence this summer and why any particular deals didn't progress.

I've posted elsewhere that whilst a number of poor decisions have been made recently, most of them only seem poor now, after they haven't worked out. That's not the same as incompetence or negligence. That's just life.

Parish makes mistakes, but we all do, including every football club chairman in the world.

Even this now with Sage (who I feel absolutely must be relieved of his duties, by the way), we don't know why there isn't a definitive decision.
 
Glasner was always going to leave. He never stays at any club beyond his tenure. It’s just how he is and he will do the same at Forest if he isn’t sacked before!

I don't get your point. Why should we care whether or not he gets his previous job back?

As we paid £4m to release him from his Lens contract, then paying him off to leave. He will walk straight back into Lens and its cost us about £7m. Unless, he goes back now and gets a reduced severance.
Parish will be trying to get a deal to mitigate the financial loss or he could be staying.

Why do you assume that negotiating with Sage/Lens means that the club aren’t also in discussions with a replacement?

£7m for a totally ineffective addition is already £28m better than Johnson and yet some people say we aren’t progressing in our business.
