  1. The "best attacking team" stuff: give over. Youre still talking about a good performance in League One. Yes, recently a decent performance to get to the Championship play offs. But they're not that unique - the year before it was all about Barnsley as the plucky underdog. Val Ismael was the flavour of the month hot manager then. Poached to WBA and flopped. Before that Huddersfield and so on. So it might be much more than "OK" if you are a Luton fan, good for them. But in context of walking into a Premier League club it is only OK and nothing more. Look, he's here now so we all have get on with it. The most likely scenario is relegation but that won't all be his fault because our squad is bottom 3 standard anyway.
  2. I think his back up coaches have to take the credit for that particular performance.
  3. Nathan Jones needs to remember that if you do well in the League Cup at this club then you will have a special place in the fans hearts forever.
  4. Forest away thank you please.
  5. I'll just wait to read about it in the paper tomorrow.
  6. I've got no way of following this except, like, here. We could be out by the time I have finished typing this.
  7. If Gakpo was one if the two then what Behind Enemy Lines is saying is bullshit. Gakpo did not come here because of "penny pinching". He didn’t go to Leeds either. He didn’t go anywhere.
  8. Pretty sure that Sheehan, Cohen & Jones did my conveyancing a couple of years back.
  9. Who is in charge tonight? Ruben Selles? Eriquo Negro more like.
  10. I would add to the above that I had never heard of Hasenhuttl so when I googled him it was difficult to see where he had actually put a foot wrong. His record was actually superb, because it was only his sacking at RB that was a blemish but that seemed like a personality clash rather than failure. He probably had the best record of anyone we had ever recruited. Compared to Koeman which was streaky/patchy when he arrived and continued to be so after us.
  11. I think our experience with Pellegrino and Poortvliet has taken the sheen off "foreigners good, British bad". If we took the manager of middling Serie B (##googles##) Cagliari and his biggest job was a disastrous time at (###I know this one, Paul Rideout###) Bari in Serie B then I think a lot of talk would still be sceptical and unconvinced.

    I like that it only took about six posts before the Eric Black hate started
  13. Are you going to come and help me paint "Nathan Jones Not Welcome Here" on this bedsheet or not?
  14. Pretty sure you moaned like fuck throughout all of their tenures as well to be fair.
  15. Can someone get enough red cards made on time?
  16. 2/10. Transparent. Needs more finesse.
  17. Fine. I think in that case lets be clear that this is considered decision, this is the guy Sports Republic really want. Its not about constraints or budget, this is an active choice they are making that this is definitely the guy. Personally watching a middling Championship team playing over and over again doesn't really tell you much about what this guy will be like in nationally broadcast press conferences, or attracting new players, or dealing with multi millionaires who expect to be primed to join Champions League clubs in two years time. If the only thing SR are looking at is whether they like his diamond formation or not, then we're fucked.
  18. Four years ago, with a poor squad and in our exact current position, we appointed a man who had recently finished second in the Bundesliga and had Champions League experience, and we were paying him six million a year.
  19. Sherbourne can qualify for the Champions League 50 seasons in a row and it won't make more money than we do if we stay in the Premier League. SR have already said that we are the top club in the group and will be for the foreseeable. Look, we can't afford a striker and we're about to appoint a nobody manager from Luton. This is not a group on the brink of a billion dollar takeover of Atletico Madrid.
  20. If he gets us relegated (which on the balance of probabilities is the most likely outcome) then I think it highly unlikely that the fan base will accept him staying on because he's managed in the Championship before. I am sure this poll will show collectively he is not our choice so if he fails that will be it. He'll be gone.
  21. 9/10 transfer window it was. 9/10.
  22. I've heard that they are a bigger club than we are.
  23. Lawrie McMenemy was 0-2 once and everyone wrote him off but he turned it round and won the game.
  24. I've not seen anyone, anywhere say they want Gerrard but you be you.
