Perhaps the time has come to be a bit like Tim. Burn the tactical books, chuck the blackboard in the bin. Play with some spirit. Balls out on the table. Let's just go for it.

at least he's trying to create a bit of an identity. looking to make us more resilient. we currently have a collection of mercenaries, stopping off before moving on to a 'bigger' club. He doesn't help himself with the way he goes about it though. but we do lack identity. we roll over the majority of times we come up against a decent challangePerhaps the time has come to be a bit like Tim.

no point overhauling the squad again. i think the gulf in quality is much smaller than results suggest. need to change the mentality for once and not the personnel. so for me at least he is trying to do that. unfortunately he lacks the experience to do it in a way that fans will accept and he will likely learn his trade elsewhere and we'll begin another 18 month manager cycleHe's gone back on a lot of things and made a contradiction quite a few times.
I imagine he is trying to achieve something, and the mistakes are manifested by inexperience, but I'd be concerned that we might risk binning off a lot of the squad this summer - all for next season it to be another reversal or something.
He doesn't believe in philosophies or projects apparently, but you need to know where he's trying to get to - it's not as simple as 'winning stuff'.
What I think we will soon see is that he will soon suddenly have a philosophy.
Funnily enough, saw his name on twitter/facebook before as Woolwich fan's potential replacement for Wenger, lol

yeah thats fair enough. the 18 month comment was more a general response to the constant state of flux we seem to be in. i'd love some stability for once. i too expect some to leave but i think another 7 new signings will just waste another season. i think players attitudes can change if they are motivated in the right way so no need to give up on the current batch just yet. he needs to learn their personalities and find ways to get the best out of themTo be fair, and I've said it plenty of time, this 18 month sacking cycle thing is a myth, bit embarrassing if we start echoing stuff rival fans make up.
Tim's pretty much said that the squad will change, assuming because some people don't have the right attitude. Also unsure how many big players will want to stay, based on them normally needed a 'big name' to stay.

I dislike the man , kinda like the passion and the vision on football (even if vision is something he app doesnt have) - what bothers me a lot is that he seems to choose the public bollocking of players in stead of the Mourinho approach. Take the heat yourself and go back to the dressing room and make em sweat.
.
you are right , i did not ignore it - just forgot about it, i believe the support for Naughton was merited by the way he kept his spirits up and tried to right his wrongs.I've seen idiots having a pop at him for publicly supporting Naughton at the weekend..... where as you have chosen to ignore it.
At least until next week, when someone will make a blog post/article/thread saying that:
Tim is the best fucking thing ever, 10 year contract and obligatory fan provided blowjobs
Thank fuck he's gone in the summer, get rid, useless woolwich supporting flop
The only thing more predictable than our crap defence are the yo-yo affiliations on here at the mo.
