Moniz Sacked

[Pies4u]

It is mind boggling that anybody still tries to defend Moniz!  The clues have been there since his arrival - he was hopeless.

Some of his signings aren't even pub standard players and his inability to organise the team, get basic tactics and selections right or galvanise the players to give their all from the outset mark him out as one of the poorest managers we have had in the 50+ years I have been supporting Notts.

Playing decent for 10 - 20 minutes in a match doesn't cut the mustard, nor does it warrant the "best football seen in years" tag. Admittedly, we've been cr@p for most of the last 20 odd seasons, bar 2 notable exceptions but Moniz was a very poor manager and is unlikely to ever undertake such a role in this country again.  Good riddance. Now let's move forwards - for a change!

@ivansneck  think you have hit the nail on the head, which is that possibly the club have gambled on promotion and no other result will do for the future of the club. As after all Notts were playing the entertaining football at home which Ray Trew said he wanted, but the manager providing it, and who was meant to be part of the new era at the club has been sacked.

As I said before our home form was as good as second placed Northampton. Apologies if that is mind boggling.

Anyway it is all water under the bridge now, I hope that the new manager gets promotion. No other result is good enough.

Failed post - sorry folks...

Sadly, you have to play away from home too! Northampton don't gift goals away for fun, play like they couldn't care less in the opening quarter or have tripe like Swerts, Jenner, Smith, De Silva and a host of other pub players on their books!

Our home form can't mask the inadequacies - we've been cr@p in most home games too, careless, clumsy and ineffective far too often - but too many Nots fans are easily satisfied by tripe it would seem.  There are thousands staying away because we are cr@p.

Mr Dwarf - how are you? I'll try and take your points in order.

Salford... Dreadful lost the game mentally before it started. This happens to all teams periodically, it's just that the best teams let it occur less often. @Blackville and I saw Gladbach beat Bayern 3-1 earlier this month at Borussia Park. Bayern lost the game mentally when they went one down by panicking for an early equaliser, all that happened was they left space for Gladbach to score 2 more in the next 10 minutes. 3-0 game over. Our players are 4th rate by definition, it's horrible to watch but it happens. I don't think it was due to 'losing' the dressing room.

Release Yates and keep Moniz, yes I would have tried it. No idea if it would have worked, but I would have gone for incremental changes not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

One major difference between top pros and 4th division ones is how they retain and implement the coach's instructions once the game has kicked off, see von Moltke - "No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy"

Totally agree with you on Branston and the 'panel'. I'd have got rid of them first - not the coach. Also agree about squad size. How many of those were down to Moniz - I've no idea?

Agree about defenders. Sack Yates and see of the new defensive coach gets the best out of them, working within Moniz's framework.

Players out of position - I agree. But did Moniz have the players he wanted for those positions?

Agree about Milsom instead of Smith (or CT), but that's just opinion!

We need to get rid of a lot of players before signing anyone who hasn't proven themselves, yet the first thing our next manager should do is try to sign Sheehan.

I hope whoever comes in wants to have full control over what happens. By all means have a transfer panel, I actually think it works provided the managers say is final. I can't help but feel we need not just someone who can control, mentor players and choose the right tactics but have a spine to say 'it's my way or not at all'.

I've been thinking about this now in terms of the winding up order.
