Re: Potential Managers Thread

Expectation of a bright, positive and forward thinking coach being appointed are misplaced, given our current ownership are bereft of such thinking and belong to a previous footballing generation. The likes of Brighton, Brentford and from a managerial position, Burnley, are streets ahead of us in th...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

He did manage briefly for Man Utd too under difficult circumstances filling in for Solsjkaer. And of course we're only going on a very small sample size admittedly. This is a call based mainly on gut feeling and I appreciate others prefer to base their decisions only on analytical evidence. However...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Ideally, he keeps us up on goal difference and then gets sacked - couldn’t care less if they do an Avram and tell him in the tunnel at full time. Decks then clear for a bright, forward thinking appointment, someone with the ability to motivate and inspire world class talent, something this sour face...

Re: Migrants crossing the Channel

That's every debate in a nutshell, isn't it. Largely we're all on the same page on this thread. We all feel concerned and nervous about some of those attempting to cross our borders, but most of us also want to support legitimate asylum seekers and share our wealth and provision to give them a bett...

Re: Migrants crossing the Channel

There is no UK MSM network willing and capable of hosting a balanced, non-biased, non-hysterical, sensible debate about controlled immigration. Nobody sensible would appear on it to state the case for controlled as they know they’d be called ‘far right’ and ‘racist’ immediately post-programme. Free ...

I dearly wish a cessation on use of the term ‘talent’ to describe their on screen pundits for this particular show.

Re: Migrants crossing the Channel

There really isn’t a solution to people showing up in Britain. As long as they have a chance of improving their lives, they will keep finding ways to arrive here or any country they feel can improve their lives and I don’t blame them for trying to find a better life. Is that life improvement not av...

Re: The BBC

According to this fella, MOTD will only be around 20 minutes long. Obviously there will be no post match interviews or punditry but I don't understand why they would shrink the highlights of six games down to only 20 minutes! How would they have allocated the remaining two minutes of those 20 if Ma...

Re: The BBC

If Linekar does leave, the true colours of his comrades will shine through with such a high profile vacancy open. As much as I disagree with his stance on just about everything (including the best crisps) I admire him, or more accurately, his agent. The football season runs for circa.40 Saturdays. 4...

Re: The BBC

Still awaiting expectantly to hearing the solutions of Gary and other intellectuals such as Wright and Scott, on how the issue of illegal immigrants should be managed constructively, in a cost effective manner which is fair for all.

Re: Potential Manager - Mourinho?

Sign lucrative contract offered by deluded club owner
Charm press and supporters
Prime agent and legal team to be ready for payoff negotiations
Stick around for a while
Become deliberately provocative and disruptive to force sacking
Leave with substantial payoff

rinse and repeat…

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

100% The ECWC were teams with a proven winning mentality and in the time when the FA Cup meant something. Fergie often quotes his ECWC wins with Aberdeen and Man Utd were his two most important because of the mentality it forged. Winning the europa conf this season and resulting in Moyes staying, wo...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Yes. We should already have had a short list of these mangers. Instead we've got Rafa. Brighton put De Zerbi in instantly when Potter left them in the lurch. We don't have that kind of foresight. Even Burnley have more strategy than us, getting Kompany in and look at the dividends it’s paid. Our lo...

Just a thought.
Indeed. Brighton and Brentford, to name just two, are light years ahead of us in terms of strategy, direction, structure and general management.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

The fact we've ended up comparing Rafa ****ing Benitez and an inexperienced Michael Carrick after being in a European semi final just 9 months ago tells us all we need to know about the shambolic ownership of this club. This made me smile in a slightly sadistical way, but so true. Timing is awful. ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I would pull out all the stops to get Carrick, but I don’t think our owners are that bold and I doubt he will come. I expect they are hoping that Chelsea sack Potter in the next day or so Following Carrick with interest to see how he and Boro handle the pressure of potential play offs or when they ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Even if he does see it through to the end of the season, the owners still won’t have the foresight to make a positive, fresh thinking appointment like say Brighton and Burnley have. We’re guaranteed to get another dullard.

Such a shame Missus Kompany is so keen on the north-west.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Goodbye David, good luck in whatever you do next.

Dear owners, please appoint a manager who big name signings have respect for and are willing to play for.
