FOR EVERYBODY’S SAKE INCLUDING PELLE’S – LET HIM GO
“There are a lot of different reasons to analyse. We cannot concede three goals in every game. Unfortunately for us we are doing the wrong things.”
Manuel Pellegrini
To say I was stunned by Manuel Pellegrini’s after match comments (above) would be utterly absurd. They may be the most ridiculous AND LOST I have ever heard from any manager at any time, anywhere, any place.
And now there can be no further delay – the board has to sack him even if it means bringing in a caretaker for the Southampton game and beyond until we can get the man we really need.
Terry Westley, Chris Hughton, Kevin Keen. I don’t mind but there can be no further delay because it can get no worse!
Don’t ask who it may or may not be. I don’t have a clue but for sure, for certain, definitely, Manuel Pellegrini has to go and NOW!
Then I read something on the Claret and Hugh forum which suddenly summed up my feelings perfectly so my thanks are due to Wayne Bradley who had this comment:
Wayne Bradley The sad thing for me is I think Pelle is a very decent man but he looks like a pensioner in the shops who has forgotten where he lives as he looks about him. He looks hurt and clueless as to what to do. For his own health they should let him go, work a deal out where neither side loses face. Go before the Saints game because if we lose that under him the fans, the board the press, are all going to turn on him.
Social media is full of obscenities, hatred, spite, and vicious malice directed towards the first scapegoat some fans can find but Wayne has nailed it – spot on with compassion and kindness.
A firm decision has be made now by the board – there can be no defence made for delay.
The decision to let Manuel Pellegrini leave has to be made… it’s the honest thing to do, it’s the right thing to do, it’s the compassionate thing to do…it’s the ONLY thing to do!
