Now I'm a pretty level headed guy but even I have a breaking point and over the next weeks and months we will all eventually be forced to write off our new manager as a pointless waste of skin who couldn't pull a decent team out of his backside. Of course, amongst the current candidates I will be prepared to give some managers far more of a crack of the whip than others. Some I will view as clueless dead men walking by the time the clocks go back while others will be lucky to make it past the day the kids go back to school. I wonder where everyone else thinks their patience will hold out before deciding to write the whole thing off as a bad job and getting the bedsheet and black paint out and organising a whip round for a light aircraft trailing a banner over the ground. Here's the current list of candidates and the grace period I am prepared to give them, the time they are allowed to be disappointing/underperforming before I am incandescent with rage: Rudi Garcia - 29 games, about March time AVB: 31 games, just before crucial run in Eddie Howe: Last night of the Proms. September. Puel: Pancake Day. Giggs: August bank holiday. Waste of space. La Liga Relegation Boy: utter hipster baiting fury on Halloween when the evidence of quite how sh it he is is there for all to see. De Boer: Good Friday. 30 games. Vitor: after two Europa matches. End of September Yakin: such lovely hair. October 2017. Didier Didi Deschamps: July 14th Moyes: Mother's Day, lunchtime. Pellegrini: December 1st. Ernesto Valverde: I have no fu cking idea who this is. How much patience has everyone else got?

Tuesday is the Wembley debate right? That's going to be absolute carnage.

Don't worry Lord D, the EU campaign will warm back up over the weekend. We're not talking to Ryan Giggs, there's no way it will be Ryan Giggs. Not sure what this forum has got to do with that. And Ryan Giggs wouldn't be "thinking out of the box" it would be a virtual cliché of an appointment swooned over by Talksport and the tabloids.

Congratulations to Les Reed for making such a brilliant signing then, Roger.

Get it in the mixer.

Just dreading us appointing a "look at us, aren't we clever" left field appointment. Actual, measurable success and relevant experience please. Please.

Judging by previous drivel he's posted, he actually means this sh it.

Nah, he said he was a good manager and if the bookies are right then we'd have done well. Not any actual info.

Or Eddie Howe. He's sh it too.

Disappointing. I'd fallen in love with over the last six days. As long as we don't appoint La Liga relegation boy I'm comfortable the club won't coc k this up.

Massive part of our progress over the last three years. Good luck to him. He's no more a mercenary than any player who decides to join us this summer. Will be tough to replace but I trust Didier Deschamps and the new management team to know exactly who to go after.

It was pretty obvious that whatever happened, we would not let him go into the last year of his contract. Well it was obvious to me, which I why I kept saying that was clearly going to be the case. You're all very welcome.

Are you saying all Frogs are muslims? All one billion of them?

I like what they've done with the glass ceiling.

I think you'll find here is KBS naming names. There are other posts including him naming the names of five first teamers he thinks are on the list to go. One of them has now gone. Think that's very telling, don't you?

The reveal of that name of a French guy barely anyone has heard of has shaken British football to its very core.

Just to keep you up to date, KBSS has now named the mystery man as Puel on this forum just like he named the others on this forum. So presumably we've done all the work we need to do on Puel "behind closed doors" now then.

In summary: all the other British teams are brilliant and we're terrible (if we'd played like NI or Wales yesterday you'd be whining the place down). Kane hard done by because he was picked as, er, centre forward and Alli as, er, centre mid. How can they possibly cope with such curve balls thrown at him? Maybe, it's an international tournament, step the f uck up boys. And your "fine margins" conveniently ignores the equal possibility that we could now be sitting pretty top of the group on two wins. You not able to "imagine the reaction" to that then? Score last minute goal it's a fluke, concede one we deserve it. Bang on the money as usual then.

Happy Garcia day everyone!!!

Yes - their names were spread about by ITKs on this forum but the club do need to carry out their business effectively behind closed doors or something.

KBS was naming people. Not just Garcia.

Classic KBS. Just to throw us off the scent. The fact he hasn't specifically said it isn't Deschamps proves it is.

That would work if club insiders weren't naming some names and then playing the "mystery" card on another. And then people guessing names who make no sense to be a mystery in the light of names spread around that aren't a mystery. Puel "needs to be done effectively behind closed doors" but Garcia doesn't at all? How does that work? Is Puel agoraphobic or something? It's all forum bulls hit and great fun. Anyway I know for a fact it is definitely Deschamps.

Why on earth would Puel need to be a mystery? Out of work and barely anyone knows or cares who he is. It's Deschamps. Looks effing sh it as well so I imagine the La Liga relegation hipster fan-club love him.

We have individual threads for other contenders so might as well start one for the third man. To be honest he's my least favourite of the three but at least has Premier League experience as a player. Great that the club are aiming high though. Here are his Wikipedia stats. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didier_Deschamps And lots of chatter on Twitter: But proof that the club are brilliantly keeping all of this under wraps because there aren't any mainstream media reports yet. Well done club and agents for once.
