Given the choice now, whom would you have back as manager - Dowie or Sousa

[pkloft]

I normally look at seasons after 46 games, then make a judgement on whether its been a success or not, don't normally decide where clubs will finish in mid December, especially in this league.

Swansea will fade though

but you've just made a "Judgement on Swansea" ;D

your not very good at this "debating stuff" are you

I like the way, when I do have a discussion.suddenly Sousa goes ahead in the poll

End of the day, the players would want Dowie back, without a shadow of a doubt

I bet most of them would as most of them are ex Palace.

Dowie like Magilton were poor appointments in the first place. At least with Sousa it showed we were prepared to take a risk and try something different.

Just to add your stats

Cardiff never won a game In November and won ONE in September but are now 3rd.

Not subsiding to player power are we Pete?

Wasnt there quotes from players saying Sousa was the best coach they had played for....?

As long as neither started a regular WWF session after games, i think the players would be happy with either.

Out of Dowie,Sousa and Magilton i believe Dowie would have been the most capable of getting us up.He has an excellent record in our league,and along with Chris Hughton,is somewhat dominating our league at the moment.

And they aren't regarded as a shambles and don't sack their manager every 5 minutes. They have invested in their squad and their stadium/facilities is much better than ours but I'm now sure what your point is. As you always say the season is 46 matches long and not just what happens in November or September.

And Cardiff also won against Boro today,who battered us 5-1.

[qblockpete]

Totally agree, Wwe should have stuck with MAGILTON and kept all the other stuff behind closed doors. At least waited a month longer, it seems the combination of a bad run of results and what happened, made it easier.

Middlesboro will be in the top 6 come the end of the season, willing take a bet on that.

Maybe,but i think they will be in the CCC with us next season.

Think Forest or Leicester will go up with Newcastle and WBA.

I wonder who the likes of Taarabt, Routledge, Buzsaky, Simpson, Faurlin, Ephriam, Gorkks, Stewart & Cerny would rather play under Sousa or Dowie

My guess would be Sousa based on how they either performed last season or the type of player they are.

How come you were looking at Sousa's season after 14 games then?

[qblockpete]

You must be having a laugh.

Tarrabt only came back because Sousa had gone and Routledge is primarly a winger, not a player who plays in front of a diamond or to head balls in the air from goal kicks.

Player like Hogan and Gorkss maybe, only because they have struggled to get into first team this season
