Donald Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 1 hour ago, KSK_47 said: If you go back and read this thread from start to finsih you will notice a clear change in attitude. Its starts with "Well I dont see the fuss about JVS but if he can get us playing good football and winning I dont mind" but quickly turns to "I hate this guy and want him gone". The reasons vary from his comments about the FFA cup being a "pre-season hit out" and fielding a youth squad against Perth to his complete over site of our defensive structure (as well as many many more). We are all ecstatic about our cup win. Its great. But I have said from the start that regardless of what happens this season I dont want JVS to be our manager. Not all of us applaud every aspect of this club like pavlovs dog. If we see something that we feel needs to be improved we say it. Yes this thread has got to the point where we are clutching at straws, but it is more out of frustration with the amount of excuses and chances JVS has been given more than anything else. If you feel JVS is a capable manager and deserves to stay on please let me know why. I would love to hear what reasonable arguments in his favour you have You didnt answer the question. Where have you been for the last 7 years? You have sat through every one of JVS's games both Heart and city and you still feel he is getting a raw deal? If you hate losing so much why are you sticking up for a coach that has an appalling win percentage? I've been here for the last 7 years. I just haven't been posting on a forum read by a small % of people. I've also met people connected to the club and people who are just supporters like all of us and we have argued, discussed, questioned everything about a new (lets me honest - we are still very young) professional sporting club and the trials in trying to break into a very established market. One thing that proved to be a common thread was stability throughout the organization. This has happened to us. But I also understand the thought that it's good to turn things over to try new things and this can also generate positive results. I get it - I just don't think its the right thing for this club.

I'm obviously not a forum sort of guy and may be a bit older than others on here (??) and fully expect to be laughed at for signing up and sticking my head up. And maybe i'm biased slightly by the personal side of the discussion but I think this helps to balance the ruthlessness of the industry. The pure football based analysis I take on board and actually learn from. The "i've heard from a reliable source that he is nothing but a puppet for TCG and has photo's of x so that's the only reason he has the job still" type of arguments rile me up. But I'm being sucked into a forum with postings from all sort of people. The nit picking out of a 1 second TV image of him not doing something to support an argument is laughable.

The personal side of this debate is completely irrelevant as the "he is a good bloke so go easy on him" mentality is exactly how we ended up with aloisi for so long. My observation was really nothing serious. As mentioned we have long stopped using stats and facts to argue our point about jvs because people like you dont seem to deem them important so we have resorted to wild tabloid style speculation in frustration. That said i honestly hope that you do continue to post on the forum. As a different point of view is always a good thing.

Keep on posting/ranting - it will help whittle away our incredibly long off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to him. You make it sound like we've had half a dozen managers. It's not hard to be "our most successful manager" when he's only competition was Lossoisi...

The point is you wouldn't have had your rant had we lost. The reason you wouldn't have come on here is that your argument would have been baseless because JVS has no history of winning anything or even coming close to it. Now that he has won something you have a very thin base for argument, albeit this base has only existed for two days. You feel this is evidence enough to prove JVS is now all of a sudden a competent manager and that everyone should also be positive about his tenure like yourself. The best judge of a manager is his performances over the course of a season. Obviously he contributed to some degree to our FFA cup win, with one of the best squads put together mind you. I'm happy for him, I'm ecstatic with the result but just with regard to JVS I'll be impressed when he takes us to a title at the end of a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cracked the shits, started dropping and rotating players and we went on a great run. Eventually his personality came through where the pressure was off and he went soft (IMO) and we dropped off significantly at the end of the season.

Torn Asunder Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 So maybe he's worked out that our current crop of players respond well to a fired up manager. About time there was a bit of fire being rained down from the sidelines ... It should always mean something to pull on the City strip and play for the club, especially at home. The derby isn't the only game where emotions runs riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great that we are starting to see some fire from him but my point was that you cant fake being a certain type of person. We have seen the "no more mister nice guy" from JVS before but it never stays that way. IMO we need someone who is like that. Not someone who has to learn or pretend to be like it because otherwise we are going to stay in this ridiculous loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxxandro Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I like to think anyone can change. And maybe he is undergoing a serious change for the better. If so, it's about time and doesn't negate all the criticisms that have been leveled against him on this thread and elsewhere. I personally feel though that it's Bruno and Cahill leading the playing group in terms of leadership and passion.

I have absolutely been harsh on him and never give him any credit whatsoever because the negative still completely eclipses any positives in my eyes. The amount of times this guy has been let off the hook is comical. And as i have said many times before if we are going to import coaching personnel there should never be any excuses made for them what so ever. Little pats on the back for getting basics right or praise for small patches of doing the right thing are counterproductive. Particularly after hearing about how aloisi wasnt fired after that Adelaide game because the crowd were applauding him (and i am guilty of being one of those clapping that day). CFG promised us ruthlessness when it came to underperformance and i want to see them deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
