silva10 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have no idea what made CFG appoint Joyce. For me it has Marwood's fingerprints all over it. Joyce's style is the total opposite of the style of play the club should be playing. I hope the club gets rid of him before the derby, but it is very unlikely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Warren Joyce is a manager who sees football as a way of life, not a job,” Marwood said. https://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/joyce-is-new-man-in-charge-at-melbourne-city/3191147/ This was carried in multiple newspapers at the time. Joyce is clearly Marwood's choice. He's certainly "made an impact" alright, but not in the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it was the people around him who take the credit. He had a great scouting network who made him look beyond great. Once his time is done here I`m also certain NO OTHER CLUB will even blink an eye at him!! Couldnt agree more about abusing him as a person, no need for it!!

NuggetsMcGreggor Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 City boss Joyce fighting to avoid the axe FEBRUARY 15, 2019 Besieged Melbourne City coach Warren Joyce is fighting for his job, with club chiefs weighing up their options as they prepare for Saturday’s Melbourne derby. Last Friday’s horror loss to Newcastle Jets has set off alarm bells with City Football Group and has prompted internal meetings about Joyce’s future. It’s understood that City chiefs contemplated pulling the trigger this week, but it appears that Joyce will lead his under-performing team into action against second-place Melbourne Victory at Marvel Stadium. A heavy loss or unconvincing display could spell the end of Joyce’s whose City contract expires at the end of this A-League season in May. City chiefs are understood to have earmarked assistant coach, former Socceroo Tony Vidmar, as the caretaker should Joyce depart. Warren Joyce after Melbourne City’s loss to Newcastle Jets on Friday night. Picture: AAP It is unclear whether banished striker Bruno Fornaroli would be welcomed back to the fold if Vidmar was to take over. Club chiefs set Joyce, a former Wigan Athletic and Manchester United youth team coach, a goal of finishing inside the top three and/or qualify for the Asian Champions League. However the style of play is at the core of City chiefs’ discontent, more so than the results – although they sit precariously in fifth spot – along with the poor crowds and fan discontent. A woeful run of one win in seven games has seen seventh-place Newcastle Jets draw to within six points of City. Joyce has twice come close to facing the axe at City – just over a year ago when the club was in the midst of a disastrous run, before Daniel Arzani almost single-handedly reignited their season. Striker Bruno Fornaroli is still on the outer at Melbourne City. Picture: Getty Images He was under immense pressure earlier this season, after the Round 3 home horror show to Sydney FC. While results have improved since, a section of City fans have continued to campaign for Joyce’s sacking, claiming that the mystery suspension of Fornaroli is part of a trend that has claimed fellow fan favourites Tim Cahill, Fernando Brandan and Neil Kilkenny. Joyce joined chief executive Scott Munn and captain Scott Jamieson at a fan engagement event last week and was well received, but the manner of the Jets loss has again heaped pressure on the coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not a great look for our club but it's time to cauterize the gaping wound. He's tried. His methods have not worked.

CityHeart Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Traction finally! Pretty obvious for all, but if this line has any truth it just proves Joyce is just the start of our issues: "However the style of play is at the core of City chiefs’ discontent". Um, why wasn't the style addressed last season? Style has been a HUGE issue since this guy practically started. It is just so obvious the guy is out of his depth, has the wrong style, turned off so many of our top tier players (including guys who bring fans through the door) in a short time - and they STILL are hesitant! If Style is the 'core' issue - the bloke who put him there should go too. This bloke is a butcher who knows little else. Now they have put us in a position where we have to secretly follow the tards? Geezus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always play with one central striker, either Jesus or Aguero (they rarely play together), the big difference is that Manchester has an array of creative attacking midfielders behind this, think about De Bruyne or the Silva’s. This is where is goes wrong with us. We just haven’t have the players for it. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 It may be repetitive but dammit I want accountable from whoever put him in this position in the first place. By all accounts Marwood had a big say in this and a review of his position should be held. It was obvious to many that bringing an English coach in was questionable due to the philosophy of football they tend to play and it's all come to a head now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
