Yeah - he needs to clear ship. Ankersen has shown nothing. I also believe that SR were potentially looking to offload us in the Summer and invest elsewhere...don't know if that's still on the cards.

Right, so I think we've exhausted the fun we can have with Josef Fritzl here, let's get back to discussing RM.

Jeez, you're making this thread awkward.

No, more that they were intended for military fixtures rather than civilians, and they expected a number to get through, which they seemed to. Hence why we saw little in the way of casualties. This was not Iran posturing, this was Iran wanting to do damage, and wanting to show that even Israel's defences can be breached.

I don't think there are good and bad guys here. I think there's bad guys and badder guys.

But the point is "most". If they'd have fired them at the centre of Tel Aviv and the Israeli defences had missed them then we'd be looking at far different escalations.

Points to them looking at military installations then as otherwise we'd have seen some casualties for the missiles that weren't caught by Arrow.

But what had he done in his career? He was an out of contract manager who'd managed in Cyprus, and then got promotion to the Premera Liga. Seems like a lucky punt to me.

Perhaps the lack of deaths was due to the Iranians looking to bomb military fixtures rather than Israel's tactics of bombing innocent civilians?

🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure your ultra-successful, younger, drop-dead gorgeous wife really loves your lack of sense of humour.

Who are you comparing Iraola to on that list?

We were not on a par with them - they are a much bigger club than us with much more money. We would never have attracted Unai Emery.

But who are you bringing in? Not having a manager lined up to take over is probably more negligent and the match was Monday (and that is the game that will probably have pushed them to look).

OK, so that is probably not a good idea to use over populated areas that are close to military targets then.

I think it's more scrap metal versus explosive material that I'm questioning. Of course there will be scrap metal, but that won't cause an explosion on its own, it needs fuel or warhead for that.

That makes more sense than the explosions being shrapnel.

I think the biggest issue we have is attracting a Manager to lead us - apart from Championship Managers and random unknown foreigners I don't think anyone will be particularly interested. We don't have the lustre that we did prior to Ralph arriving in players or stature, and being given this team, with no money to spend due to PSR and an almost nailed on relegation is not one that Moyes and certainly Potter would want to take in. West Brom are also pushing for promotion this season, so I can't see Corberan wanting to leave that project either (they won't suffer from PSR issues next season due to being in the Championship for the past 3 years, and a new(ish) American owner.

But wouldn't that explode midair as they've been hit? Otherwise aren't you just disabling missiles and creating smaller (but still quite large) but random hitting missiles, possibly over civilian areas? I've got no idea tbh. Also in the first video you can see one taken out mid air (and disappearing) and it doesn't look that different to the ones hitting the ground...the speed and cluster also looks quite targetted in the first and third video, in my completely amateur opinion.

That's some mighty big explosions from shrapnel - surely the point is if they've been intercepted there is no warhead left to detonate on impact?

Didn't shoot them down particularly well mind: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAlwNfaIEFg/?igsh=eWVsOXJ0bDE5OXNv https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAluogwocsb/?igsh=a25nYm15Ym5vaGsx https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAl0TL6I9pM/?igsh=MXZ3cHhocWp3aWlseQ==

We'll see I guess. I think Netanyahu is more hell bent on destruction than that. It'll all depend on how much the US wants to back an attack on Iran I guess.

Not with people with your personality.

Calm yourself.

No, never said that, I said that it's going to be WW3. Israel has a stronger army and more support, but the point is Iran is not Hamas or Hezbollah and will be able to fight back effectively.

I think it's more that they're bombing military targets, rather than schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
