Petition for the removal of Felix Magath as manager of Fulham FC

[Lewes White]

Miss seeing his clueless face on the Bundersliga Highlights every week, so please hurry home to amuse me some more. Signed!!!!!!!!!!!

[dgnffc]

Signed...........

[Southdowns White]

Signed here. I am now convinced he hasn't got a clue.

[Neil D]

There is stability in the club, we keep losing

That's continuity.

1. That's a really poor attitude to have. I guess all the people on that site that make petitions for things better stop because it is 'pointless'.  They can't fight for what they believe in to try and make a difference.
2. Yeah maybe not but I'm pretty sure if ticket sales start decreasing and the seats are becoming increasingly more empty then higher ups will take notice.  So you actually can make a difference if you really want to. You can still support the team but not give a dime of your money towards them until they decide to straighten up.
3. I think it will. This guy has been poor since the end of last season. Now he's not even playing quality players. Ruiz, Tunniclife, Burn, etc. The list goes on really.  I want someone who is open to trying new things and doesn't let their ego or the way they feel about certain players make it so that we have a harder time winning. In these last four games I have seen no tactical plan whatsoever. It's just a bunch of guys running on the field and kicking a ball around. They don't even try to shoot when they're around the goal. 8th or 12th really?  Tell me at this moment of time who we are better than because I struggle to see it.

You don't have to sign it or like it. People are allowed to vent and express their concerns or praise what they believe is working well.

I'd completely ignore Hatter. He comes onto almost all threads and goes against the grain to try and assert some sort of authoritative opinion. There's a few on here of a similar mentality of trying to be completely different.

As far as petitions go and fans making their own ways to be heard I'm all for them, can't be any worse than sitting on your arse in USA doing nothing but criticizing everyone else's efforts.

[Northern Cottager]

I refuse to sign. Why?

1. Nobody is going to respond to this petition anyway.
2. We don't hire and fire people.
3. I don't agree that firing Magath will do anything. We were going to finish between 8th and 12th anyhow, and we still will.

How many times, in how many ways, and in how many threads will the same 30 people say the same things over and over?

Well, there are over 100 signatures in the first 24 hours, so I guess there are more outside this MB that feel the same.

+1 .

lets change the manager again and when that does not work change again 
that really worked last season
Does anyone remember Alex Ferguson's first few months in charge  he was 1 match away from the sack and that was with a lot better squad than we can afford
every time we lose a match we want to change the manager
I am not sure this guy is the right man for us  but to keep changing managers has not done us a lot of good so far

Signed. Plain and simple.

He's won 3 out of 19.

It isn't even the fact that we can't buy a win, it's the manner in which we lose. We're going backwards under his reign and the stories coming out from players leaving and the attitude on the pitch from current players isn't one reassuringly that it's just a blip. His methods are way behind the times and he's frozen out our best players for unknown reasons.

You refer to us changing managers last season but we only wanted one manager out and that was Jol. Nobody asked for Rene to be sacked and that was a shock to everyone.

Just read this article in the standard. Interview with Khan and magath.

He isnt going anywhere it seems. Oh well.

[Cottagism]

Of the (very few, it appears) on this board who would be prepared to give Magath any more time, I wonder how many are Cottagers that have actually attended the matches at the Cottage this season ?  My guess is few-to-none.  [I am launching a one-person campaign to reclaim Cottager as a Fulhamist term.]

Reason: because if they had been at the ground, they would have witnessed the following tableau (amongst many other instances of cluelessness from the management).  It's under 5 minutes into the second half against Wolves.  Mousa Dembele is coming on as a sub.  Woodrow and others (but particularly Woodrow) look to the bench for an indication as to what the formation is now to be.  So little is forthcoming that Ross McCormack initially pulls back into the centre, behind Woodrow and Dembele, before - after some shrugging and gesticulation from the pitch (and, again, little from the bench) - he moves to the left wing.  Here's the point.  This was a *tactical* substitution made very shortly after the beginning of the second half.  It had clearly *not* been discussed during half-time - hence the disjuncture and confusion on the pitch.  To say the least, this was not a Hodgson team, where experienced players were schooled in a pretty-much-unwavering formation, but a team principally comprised of (very promising) young players with (to be generous about it) a fluid formation.  To make a change like that without trailing it in advance to the players, and indicating how they should set up post-substitution, is just dumb.

[And that is leaving aside the utter brain-deadedness of this statement by Magath before the Wolves game: "If we have a good game and good result, we will not change so much. If we have no result, like on Saturday [the Millwall game], we have to change something."]

Please make him go.  Please.  This is worse than Sanchez.  A lot worse.  And I thought nothing could be worse than that.

[TonyGilroy]

The club aren't publicly backing him despite knowing that the fans are nearly unanimous in wanting him out.

If he was staying they'd issue a statement confirming the owner's backing so it must mean that they are sorting out his replacement. It must mean that mustn't it? It has to. Surely?

The club can't be sitting back doing nothing whilst we lose every game as support seeps away.

No competent management would......................oh

Signed Lets Hope its not in vain

[Artful Dodger]

Signed it the other day, although unless we lose at Brentford, which I don't want, we may be stuck with him.

[Rambler]

[OdecaMynoT]

Signed,bury the chump.

[Fulham76]

He has the sending off to hide behind today though. He'll be telling us we'd have won were it not for that...

100% agreed.  Though he might have to explain buying him in the first place.
