Do You Trust Sousa to get Us Promoted Next Season?

Why is peter running this Sousa out campaign?

[rblockells]

Yes-Sousa is the man to take us up.

In answer to the original question too many variables Pete. Yes I have faith that Sousa can do the job. Whether he will be allowed to do so is another matter. The Flav has made comments recently which has suggested he is losing the love. If insufficient funds are made available and/or if Saucy is not given a free reign on who comes and goes it will be difficult. If he is allowed to sign a few players and keep the ones he wants then with the benefit of a pre-season behind him I say Saucy can lead our tribe to the promised land.

With the squad as it stands - no.

With him bringing in 4/5 quality players of his choice and getting rid of deadwood - definately.

No meddling from FB/GP in the changing room/training ground and we'll be laughing...

Without going into why it was censored, it is not censored anymore.

I'm not convinced after a lucky win versus Swansea. It was much better against Bristol City. I get the impression he is a perfectionist, speaks to players individually for hours and I'm sure that he must get frustrated that all the players cannot do what he did as a player in his prime.

I hope the Sousa backers are right. I've started songs for him this season and up to Ipswich was fully behind him, so nothing against him. Its just that I am not confident that under Sousa we get promoted next season, even if we bought 4-5 players extra. Its all a bit negative style football for me.

Problem is that if we got rid of him we would have to start again. Not many teams get promoted with a manager in his first season (there are exceptions of course).

Who else is there? Ferguson, Johnson. I wouldnt be too confident of them getting us promotion next season either

have to agree with QBP, why give sousa time when the same people saying that would not give ian dowie time.

"have to agree with QBP, why give sousa time when the same people saying that would not give ian dowie time."

Why give anybody time, f**k it lets keep changing managers until we find one that never loses or changes the team. Or until the time the owners just give up.

So we sack him now, and then what give the next man 20 odd games and if we are not within the top six we sack him as well? Not to mention the expense of paying off contracts:confused:

Thanks (finally) for your assessment as I like a few of the other posters on here have become tired of your threads re PS (certainly the old adage of where there is smoke there is fire springs to mind and perhaps gives some more ammunition to those that suggest this is some sort of campaign by you to get rid of PS (of whom I am not one)). In particular I found this thread surprising because on the old board I seem to recall you saying that you would see what happened against Bristol. Yet you still started a thread in spite of saying 'It was much better against Bristol City'. Why not give him a decent chance?

[crowlehoops]

As i have said before, we will be a different team next season.

If I were to read too deeply into Pete's obsession with ridding us of Sousa I would almost certainly connect it with GP's view illustrated by his comments to fans about him playing one up front. Accompanied also by his obsession with Borrowdale to be in the team, GP may well be smarting from the fact that Sousa doesnt rate Borrowdale and taking it as a slant on his ability to pick a player.

But I would never read that deeply into it.
