True. Unfortunately some people have other agendas.

It makes no difference to me what the race or religion of the nutcase was, unfortunately for some people it does.

We all know that if the driver had different skin pigmentation this thread would be an extra couple of pages by now.

It is a gamble but I guess with Still there is at least a chance we have got someone with potential to be really great. He seems the sort character we need and certainly talks a good game. I like his ideas about a high energy game so it will be interesting to see who he brings in and gets rid of in the summer.

A bit of a gamble but I guess he who dares wins! Glad to see us getting him in quickly unlike last time, good to have the whole summer to prepare. With the right backing there is no reason why we can’t bounce straight back.

Well our scouts obviously thought he looked good.

True but it’s still a different league. I think the situation we are in would best suit someone who knows the league and knows how to get out of it. It’s going to be a tough job with a lot of players in and out, I’m just not sure it is the best job for a young inexperienced guy.

A League where Sékou Mara looked good.

He is young, inexperienced and never played or managed in the Championship. He may turn out to be brilliant but it is a gamble.

Seems like a pointless gamble to me but have given up giving a shit anyway. Just have to hope they actually know what they are doing this time.

I agree it doesn't seem to make sense apart from the fact that Israel will kill, maim and bomb regardless of the hostage situation. It looked like a deal was done and the hostages were on their way but as soon as Trump announced his plan it gave Israel the green light to pretty much kill who they want. Their aim now is simply to ethnic cleanse so they can steal more land and build Trump's resort. From what I understand, the second phase of the deal that was agreed was to free all the hostages, a permanent ceasefire and involved Israel removing all their troops from Gaza. The hostages should be at home with their families but Israel chose to carry on killing, I expect because Trump's plan would be harder if phase two had been completed.

So the new manager will only be classed as a success if we bounce straight back up at the first attempt without any glitches?

Could the Leicester potential points deduction put Rohl back in the picture?

I think when people bang on about 'politics of envy' it says more about them than those who want just a fairer society with public services that actually work.

This. The ceasefire looked like it was working until Trump unveiled his plans to turn Gaza into a tourist resort. Now what we are seeing is just blatant ethnic cleansing.

Yep fully understand the context, still not racist. You carry on with your faux outrage though snowflake.

So suggesting foreigners may not have a perfect grasp of English is racist now. Blimey, you snowflakes need to lighten up a bit. Maybe you should add that to the dopey "things that are racist" thread.

Is it racist to unintentionally suggest a foreigner’s grasp of English might not be as good as that of a British person?

I think that’s a simplistic way of looking at it, we still have much of the squad that got promoted before and have assets to sell. With the right amount of investment and a decent manager we should be in a good position to challenge. We have a big squad of championship quality players (apart from 2 or 3), unfortunately in the Prem that means you get dicked every week, in the Championship where players like Armstrong can bag 20+ goal a season it should be a different story.

Is it really racist to suggest a foreigner’s grasp of English might not be as good as that of a British person?

All three that got promoted last year got spanked and sent down without a fight - unless we get really lucky with some signings or academy players we will never be promoted ready for the Prem. Leeds will probably find that out next season.

Smallbone and Stewart - fuck off Rusk

But Cooper knows the Championship and knows how to get promoted out of it.

But who have at least managed in the Championship. And have other attributes, Rohl with his links to the club and Lampard who is a name who could attract players.

I would go for Cooper. Would be happy with Rohl or Lampard.
