It’s very simple.

If you want to salvage the season then you sack the manager right now. It’s clear as day he’s not going to change a thing, the bad results will continue.

So if the owners are actually ambitious about finishing top 4 this season, Maresca will be fired.

 
He definitely said the right things yesterday to keep him in the job. The thought of 5-10 years to make us competitive again is like music to the ears of the owners. 

 
Wrong place to vent the anger. You should go to the owners thread to tell them how sh*t they’re running our club. I don’t care about Maresca any more, I want the clowns running the club out.

 
Based on tonight I’d happily see him go. A week to prepare against the same opposition and to play even worse ?

Horrible performance, horrible strategy, horrible style of play, weak mindset. The players don’t believe in it, or I suspect in him.

We’re looking f**ked

Exactly.

Significantly overpaid for all the players to the tune of about £400m at the bottom line. Then compounded it by giving them contracts worth triple or quadruple the salary they were on at their previous clubs. Who is even going to buy them ? I don't see how this can possibly be profitable. 

 
Had sat on the fence on this thread, reading thoughts. Only saw first 25 mins today, then rest on the radio. I’ve seen and heard enough for two main reasons 

1) His lack of tactical flexibility or adaptation. It’s the same every week, or dare I say, they actually regress week to week. Far too easy to play against 

2) It appears he has lost the dressing room / player confidence. Rarely come back from that  

Unsure a new manager changes much other than a bump. The problems run very deep at the club right now.

 
Maresca is out of his depth. He's one dimensional, and doesn't help himself by not playing to the strengths of the players he has.

To top it all off, he implicitly and explicitly allowed mediocrity to settle in the squad. Implicitly by persisting with the underperforming players week in week out, and explicitly by straight up coming out and saying that finishing top 4 and competing aren't part of his objectives.

As bad as all of this sounds... Who the hell are the muppets who put him in charge going to bring in instead? Most likely another low tier manager no one has ever heard of.

I wouldn't want the club to sign or sack anyone, players or managers, until they decide to change course.

I'm honestly glad we didn't sign a striker, because I know we would have gotten some 19 year old no one had ever heard of. They did just that for midfield, and would have done the same for CB.

Do a 180 on the failed project, or just stick to what you already have. Trying to start again from scratch with an inexperienced manager and a new pack of teenagers is the definition of insanity.

 
How f**king dumb are the owners to have signed Maresca to a 5-year contract when his only coaching experience prior to joining us was a short failed stint at Parma in 2021 and coaching Leicester in the Championship last season.

I've just about given up on us becoming a top club again as long as these owners remain in place. We're into the third season with them and our transfer strategy is still all over the place and we've had five different coaches (Tuchel, Potter, Lampard, Pochettino and Maresca) since they took over the club.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we were actually making progress under Poch. We were crying out for some continuity with a young squad and the playing group was starting to gel and improve under him. To have just blatantly ripped all that up for an unknown coach was pure insanity as it's showing now.

Maresca sucked me in briefly in or around November or December, but how much of the good results was down to the foundations laid by Pochettino anyway. We've look progressively worse the longer he's been in the job.

 
Another game of rigidly sticking to his tactics and system.

Another game of showing he has no plan b.

Another week of hopeless PR gaffs, portraying a loser mentality.

I am slowly edging to the out button.... don't think I am there yet, but it's close.

 
I'm am fully in on Maresca out. We look absolutely clueless right now, and it's his inability to use the squad correctly, along with the same sterile tactics.

 
Sorry but his tactics just do not get the best out of the players we have and also the ones we have coming in the future.

It’s a really bad fit, I do not trust him long term to develop these young players nor do I want to sacrifice any more players talented players simply cause he has no idea how to adapt from his rigid system that isn’t even appealing to watch in the first place.

I get that, but if you look at our team on paper against Bournemouth's for example our team is head and shoulders above it, yet Maresca has us playing like a clueless bunch of idiots and Ireola might be about to get Bournemouth equal on points with us despite being without some of their starters and having the same striker crisis we have. 
 

The board shouldn't get away with some of their decision making, but that shouldn't  gloss over how poorly Maresca is managing our players.

Why pull a rotten apple out of a rotten tree if it’s just going to regrow another rotten apple?

I know it’s not nice eating a rotten and moist Granny Smith but we have to try something different, we can’t keep going like this.

Get rid.

 
Potter just made three changes at half time! Could you imagine having a manager that reacts to what’s going on within the game.
