Does Mike Phelan do anything?
- Thread starter Plechazunga
- Start date
What a completely retarded thread. I can't believe it's been bumped again
I think Phelan is under pressure. Really need to stop these horrific defensive errors.
O come all ye fateful
The only thing I've ever seen Phelan do well...is act bald. That and rocking a pair of shorts.
My understanding is that Phelan is the Asst. Manager, does that mean he is simply the buffer between the manager and the players and also does not get involved in the coaching?
If that is the case then Rene should be the one to blame as he is the coach?

What are we blaming on them?
Economic recession and approx 78% responsibility for the current conflicts occurring in the world
He is clearly there to be the eye candy of our bench. The way he sinks into his chair. The way he folds his arms. The way he doesn't look bothered. The way he's bald. Women love that stuff.
yeah...he's a bit like United's Ross Kemp....
As in SAFs 'Muscle' to sort out the players when they're misbehaving? No wonder we have so many injuries
that's just because Rene has a jazzy name : for Micky at his best, take a look at this: http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F...nks-united-wont-make-same-mistakes-again.aspx
now, tell me you're not inspired
I feel so much more enlightened to the machinations of successful football management after reading this. Comments like: ' I think we also know that we need to score plenty of goals' are so insightful. You really can't teach this stuff
told yer - now, take that positivity and innovation into your workplace today - that is what you call thinking outside the square
we were shit in Europe, its a team game, remember to play for 90 minutes, score lots of goals...and defend better "all those elements are important"
...thanks Mike....but come on....seriously...what's the best way to burst a balloon....

I heard the new Toshiba deal will eventually fail because Phelan can't read an MRI properly. Actually he is very poor at interpreting nearly all types of diagnostic imaging.
Please mods put this thread to bed.
No, we must be allowed to vent about Phelan. Where will go when anything goes wrong?
Okay now that we have established that he in fact doesn't do much and really has no clue what's going on, who do we blame now?
Exactly. Berbas gone now. Phelan is the new spacegoat
You can blame Phelan all you want, but you all know this is Darren Gibsons fault.
anyone miss quieroz as much as me? 
Mike Phelan. Let's blame him.
I'm confident next time it looks like I'm about to miss a deadline at work all I have to do is blame Phelan and an extension will be granted, no questions asked.
Does Mike Phelan coach our penalty takers?
They shouldn't need coaching.
If one of you cnuts mentions Carlos "failed at management" Quieroz, you can feck right off.
It looks like Phelan has taken up the role of penalty coach...
That must be it.
But wait by the looks of our penalties he isn't actually coaching at all.
So does that mean he only got his job because of his good looks and his exquisite fashion sense?
I knew he was trying to sleep his way to the top the minute I saw him.
You mentioned him first....
Also, how he did at management is irrelevant. He was an excellent #2.
To be fair I mentioned it a couple posts earlier.
Honestly I think we looked more solid and generaly a team that every other team feared, as opposed to now.
People can say what they want about him as a manager but fact is we were better tacticaly and technicaly with him as #2 compared to now. And I know most people would be quick to point out that we had Ronaldo, etc. It's true, we can't replace him, but losing one player (no matter how fantastic he is) shouldn't mean a team should decline in that sense so much, especialy with quality replacements, and what is currently our strongest squad since Ronaldo left, and atleast on paper one of the strongest in general.
I just wonder where the team is headed. I'm not necessarily blaming Phelan, but more he and SAF as a pair. In the past Queiroz brought something new and even though we did have a couple of dodgy seasons under him too, the team still looked like it was heading towards something better, and subsequently did.
This team has not improved whatsoever since Ronaldo left. The defence is nowhere near as good, the midfield is exactly the same only much older, and the strikers are often dependent solely on the service which they receive from wide areas.
Im not really interested in attributing blame to any one individual, im just saying what i see. Tactically i see nothing for when the opponent has the ball. Exactly the same pattern to last night's game as we saw in Europe last year. The opponents spells possession are resulting in chances being created time and again, and we seem to have no more answer for it this year, than we had last year.

Did anyone else notice that we had 2 Phelan's last night?
Terry was sat behind the dugout. Never realised they were related.

Our Terry?
The Scuttler himself!
Just looked Phelan up on Wiki (wondering if he might be considering retiring at the same time as Fergie) and it says he's only 49 yrs old. Is Wiki correct there?
Are you serious
!!!Don't lie. You were hoping weren't you?
Wishful thinking.
He might take over from SAF for all we know and be our manager for the next 20 years.
I see the day coming where he may surprise us all.
By buying his first pair of long trousers? Never going to happen.
He may come out of the closet (sans trousers), and announce that he's in a committed, long term relationship with Rene. Wouldn't really surprise me though.
