I can dish it out and I can take it. I was just making a point.
We had a worse squad under Darko. You can't judge a manager on 6 games, but he was so there it is.
Did you support Darko, Christiansen, Rosler in the same way you're supporting Heckingbottom?
Had another impression in regard to you being able to take what you dish out. But no need for verbal fighting (that being your
point I assume.)
Darko was judged after 6 games. If I understand you correct, you find that was wrong? If so
why judge Heckingbottom on the short period he has been in charge (with many players missing)?
You say our squad was worse under Darko. Even if: was the league equally strong, the opponents of comparable quality?
I don`t support Heckingbotton as you suggest I do. I just say: if he`s sacked then only if his successor is better, that is: the successor
promises to be better. (Better based on the history of the new coach.)
I didn`t support Darko as he clearly had no proven record and seemed to have been appointed by Cellino without any reason (He could hardly speak English.). That said: it was unfair to sack him after that short time. (No coach can install his ideas of how to play in a couple of weeks.) But the Graz fans where jubilant that they had got rid of him.
Uwe Roesler was given to little time as all the coaches under Cellino. All hired and fired by Cellino based on little reasoned ground. This seeming to be true in regard to Heckingbottom also now. (Why was TC sacked? Because he had proven to be too bad, underachieving in the eyes of Rags/Orta, or because Radz/Orta where desperate to clutch onto any straw hoping against all odds that we could get into the play-offs?)
I thought Christansen was quite o.k. to be honest. (In hindsight always too easy to see where he decided probably wrong etc.) Him being sacked made no sense in my eyes as Hecks resent record at Barnsley couldn`t have been much worse nor was it realistic to hope a new coach could achieve a top 6 spot. (The best coach wouldn`t have succeded, that was pur deluded wishfull thinking and doesn`t look good in regard to the judgement qualities of Radz/Orta.)
I can`t warm to Heckingbotton until now. If a clearly better proven coach is available I would tend to be in favour of him being sacked as soon as possible.
If not: why sack him and replace him with another `hoping to get lucky` appointment? You certainly would agree on this latter view, that sacking Heck would only make sense if the successor would promise , based on his achievements and experience, to be more successfull, than Heckingbottom promises to be.
And should he be sacked without having a firm eye on his successor already, or should he be sacked as soon as possible regardless if any better coach is in sight and willing to take the Job?
