Farmer Saint

How are you feeling about it now? Are you happy? Are your millionaire mates sat in Dubai happy, crying into their bowls of sand?

And that's why 3 pages ago I said we'd have to agree to disagree - just not sure why you had to start making stuff up to try to create a narrative that didn't exist - but that's your prerogative I guess.

The fact that he's failed everywhere he's been. Either that or he's just a shit manager.

Again, haven't said that, but carry on making things up to suit your agenda, and in the meantime read what I wrote here: "I'm not sure anyone is actually saying TE should have the job permanently - my thoughts are if we haven't had anyone that we think is suitable apply, and we can't find anyone we think will be good, why just appoint any Tom, Dick and Harry when the interim option has won two on the bounce. Keep him on in the interim until we find someone to bring in. If he really starts failing then fine, we'll have to appoint someone who may not be suitable." I would argue everyone being interviewed is potentially better than TE, but surely that's a very low bar and we want someone who will be good, not just someone who is better than TE. Good things come to those that wait.

Not at all, just showing you that you're wrong.

I don't like any of the options myself. Maybe Rogers if he's interested.

But who is saying that 32 year old is the answer?

Never said he was, I just think we need to find someone of sufficient quality, and we clearly haven't yet, and until then he'll be fine as an interim.

Odd, because in this thread here I wanted Still, the incumbent at the time, to be replaced on September 22nd... Or here: Or here: Or here: No, I don't think the cap fits.

U-turn after U-turn... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mx3nv7zy8o And we've lost all those millionaires who didn't want to pay an extra 2 pennies in the pound.

But do you want someone that is about the same as everyone else SR has appointed?

Am I included within this cohort of incumbency worshippers? You seem to be getting in quite a tizz about this.

Why do you say that - doesn't look like he's commanded respect of anyone in his managerial career?

I wish we were Norwich.

Exactly, it's why we need to get this one right, and not rush into appointing perennial failures like Vieira, Ole, O'Neil etc.

He did as well at Nice as Still did at Lens TBF. That's what worries me. The rest of his career he hasn't been good. I'm not advocating for TE as Manager, I'm just not advocating for anyone else that I've seen on the list. If he was interested I'd take Rogers. Apart from that, maybe Ralph back, but he fell out with a lot of people here (players/board etc).

Agree.

What's Vieira done as a Manager to impress you? Reading through it just seems like failure after failure.

RM got us promoted, but was not suitable for the Prem, I'd agree. Far better appointment than Still (with the benefit of hindsight).

He's only managed once in the Championship, for Cardiff, and was fucking appalling. He has only managed one side in the last 4 or 5 years, and that ended after 6 months. What makes you think he's a good Manager? The football his sides play is absolutely dire as well.

Prefer to have RM over Still or Eckert though...

I'm not sure anyone is actually saying TE should have the job permanently - my thoughts are if we haven't had anyone that we think is suitable apply, and we can't find anyone we think will be good, why just appoint any Tom, Dick and Harry when the interim option has won two on the bounce. Keep him on in the interim until we find someone to bring in. If he really starts failing then fine, we'll have to appoint someone who may not be suitable. What I love is that there has not been one decent, realistic Manager mentioned on this thread, amongst how many posters? SR are utter shite, so if we're struggling, they must be struggling even more.

I don't see that there are any other even average options around at the moment, and he will only get the job if he performs well - that's how I see it.

Charlie?

Sorry, I didn't realise we weren't allowed to have opinions on here. Who do you like then?
