Magath comments........Felix Go! merged threads

[Greek]

Sanchez is a far better manager than Magath.

[The Rock]

It's just shock and awe. We're THAT team. I used to look at Pompey, Blackburn and some of these disaster stories and was so thankful that wasn't us.

That is now us. I feel for all of the players, they are good enough. And our supporters.

So go ahead FM supporters, speak.

Where has Lawrie been managing since he left Fulham?

[SKSW6]

I thought it was us who started singing, and they joined in. Same with the "Felix out" chants".

[Deanothefulhamfan]

We are in cruise control for league one, there is not 1 positive thing to say about FM.....

Let's all hope everyone at Fulham can see what 99% of the fans can see.

I am not surprised in the slightest, he would never have been given another chance if Fayed was still here, FM< AM and SK are driving this club o the ground, and I hate seeing it unfold

Let us try and remain united. The fans have opinions and we should just respect it. I didn't like the stupid posts about 'where are the doubters now' after one 45 minutes of good football last time. I don't like it now. We must remain united while our team is clearly being torn about.

We need Felix to go and get behind the next manager whoever he is. Except if its Pulis obviously.  :005:

Lets get one thing clear, sanchez, jol and felix are or were absolutely useless. But if it came down to picking the worst.... I would go as far as to say magath is so bad that he is worse than sanchez/jol put together.

I dont think either of them would of started this badly, he has to go!

#all time worst manager!

The problem was the patronising tone adopted by some of the pro-FM posters and their failure to come up with credible arguments in the face of dire results and bizarre decisions, both this season and last.

I stand by everything I said on the subject.
I personally gave our manager four games that started with the brentford match and ends with the blackburn match for major improvements to take place its not looking good.
I fully expected 2 or 3 decent quality loanees to come in to strengthen our midfield and defence it hasn't happened.
I don't see Felix as a bad manager he's trying his best, but its looking like this is the wrong time and wrong place.

[Tempest]

An opinion doesn't need to be credible or justified to you or anyone. Indeed, you may have an opinion Felix needs to be sacked now. My opinion may be different. Neither is right or wrong until the end of the season when we actually know. Personally with Felixstowe or anyone else in charge, I think we're down already buy just enjoying the ride. Today and previous results will make the first win sweeter

Fulham manager Felix Magath blamed the officials for his side's 3-0 defeat at Reading, stating it was "impossible" to change the game after debutant Matt Smith was sent off early on.

Magath admitted Smith's reckless challenge, for which he saw a straight red card on 18 minutes, deserved to be punished.

But he also felt the referee missed an earlier foul on Smith that riled the new signing from Leeds and was also worthy of a dismissal.

Magath also suggested that Whites keeper Gabor Kiraly was fouled in the build-up to Reading's second goal.

"It was impossible after the sending-off because our hope was Matt Smith. We've had very good training sessions with him and he has shown us that he is a winner for our team," Magath said.

"He was a very important player for us today and after 20 minutes he wasn't here, so we weren't able to change the game.

"Sure, he made a mistake, but I understand it because in the first second of the match he was wrestled down without the ball and that was frustrating for him – and I thought that was a sending-off.

"I don't know, I'm new in England. If it is allowed to wrestle here then that is okay, but if it's not allowed then I don't know why he was not sent off."

Many of the 2,700 travelling Fulham fans chanted for Magath to be sacked after a fifth league defeat from their opening five matches left them bottom of the Championship.

And Magath said: "What should I say to them? Should I tell them the referee didn't protect Matt Smith? The referee didn't protect my goalkeeper? They won't hear that, I know.

"I can understand the fans are frustrated and shouting. I know I work for the fans and they have supported us very well.

"But it was wrestling, not football, and the keeper told me he was held so he cannot push the ball. If it is so, then what should I say about the goals?"

I didn't like the stupid posts about 'where are the doubters now' after one 45 minutes of good football last time. I don't like it now.

Well said.

Everyone has his point at which he feels that a manager's time has run its course (in the same way that the fiercest of doubters would have a tipping point in a successful run). Today's performance will have led every supporter who, like me, has been prepared to support Felix's continuation in his role to question whether there is more to be gained from replacing him than not.

Well done to the OP for 'calling it a long time ago'. (I wonder whether he also called Hodgson correctly in 2008 after a dismal performance in a home defeat to Sunderland. I speculate because, at that point, Roy had won just two of his 10 games as manager, and on the offal the following day, support for RH was as thin on the ground as rocking-horse sh*t.) Although the snap judgements of others look increasingly likely to be right, I feel no sense of foolishness that my assessment as to what constitutes 'a fair crack of the whip' for Felix has thus far extended to 20-odd games spread over two different seasons.

[Bradstow]

I thought I would never detest a FFC manager as much as Vic Buckingham but you, Felix Magath, are probably now the highest on my list. Next to you in incompetence is Khan. An owner who knows nothing about football and cares nothing about our plight.

[..FOF..]

I always said give him 5-8 games and now I agree, Felix have to go.

The new manager will need that time that Felix is hoarding right now.

I hope it is not Ali Mack that decide on the next manager.

Good post  -  true about the offal Arthur, Roy was ripped apart in the same way as magath has been. I was searching online just a couple of days ago for examples of that with no luck, well remembered though.
