The Kit stay thread

[HatterDon]

But without going over old ground. If no manager is guaranteed success than why not stick to a manager that knows what needs improving. As for the managers that have recently left. Rene was never given enough time and if anything proved he could adapt to the problems we faced by his team selection against the top sides. Certainly the changes have done us no favours and have done us great harm. We can afford another Kit but not another Felix.

Kit may, and I'd wager he probably does, know what needs improving but has he shown anything to suggest that he is the one capable of improving it?  Without being overly negative, as this started as a pro-Kit post and there are plenty of anti-Kit ones, he has shown minimal indication that he's capable of turning things in our favour.

Within games individually, and the season as a whole, when things have been looking to run away from us they have done and incredibly quickly too.  His initial run was good, showing what he and the team were capable of, however once the "new us" had been around for a few games and began to be sussed out Kit was lost and once teams got ahead that was it and we would pretty much be guaranteed a defeat.  Once we hit a short run of bad form that was it and that turned into an almost Magath like run of defeats and performances earlier this year.  Had his reign been reversed and started with some defensive and scrappy draws against the likes of Wigan and Rotherham and evolved into the run he had when he was caretaker then it would have looked like he and we were evolving.  As it is, he started off pretty damn well (fortunately) but devolved horrendously.  His performance has been the absolute inverse of what you would expect form a young manager learning on the job - he doesn't seem to have learnt anything.

Rene was definitely got rid of at an inopportune moment, but he had won three games in over two months including some truly and astonishingly dire performances against teams we should have at least competed with.  That form dropped us to bottom of the table and got us knocked out of the cup to a team two divisions below us, and had he been sacked before the Man Utd and Liverpool games his record would have been fully supportive of that.  Both Jol and Magath lasted longer than they should have in many's eyes - neither should have started the seasons they got sacked in at the club.

Kit has won four games since the end of January and we have scored twice or more only five times and conceded twice or more nine times in that same run - do we really want to stick with a manager who's has evolved so negatively?

Um ......yes?  :033:

Um.... No not if we can help it, because it's the way we have lost, and the mediocre appalling way we have been outclassed, outrun, outfought and out passed, even at the Cottage we look like the away side, completely and utterly Leaderless, a sinking ship without a rudder that has run aground on rocks not far from a Lighthouse, whose light that is supposed to warn Ships was apparently out, not working at the time.

The above posts look on the negative side, but I have to agree with them as at the end of last season we were worse than bad. However, he has a new squad which are his side so lets see how we get on. If we start like we finished he won't last until October but he must be given the chance.

"The end of last season" Let's see now. In the last 8 matches we got 12 points, losing only two of them. This included two wins on the road and the home defeat of Middlesboro. THIS IS DISGUSTING FORM

There's a saying over here: Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but NOT his own facts.
