It’s only two years for parachute payments as we were only up for one year. You only get three years if you were in the prem for more than one year.

Maybe Tonda is the new Rohl?

I think it was 2mins 56?

The Sporting Director has to be the one to choose the manager otherwise what’s the point in that role? I’m not saying I’d agree with the appointment but surely that has to be the way a functioning football club runs.

We won again! 6pts. 3 goals at home.

People need to park their own views and think about how the fan base as a whole will react. This will unquestionably cause division. We don’t need that. They are supposed to have all this data on managers etc across the world. If they land on GON it’s a)lazy and b) an insult

Spors supposedly likes a high tempo/pressing style rather than possession. If he picks another manager with a different style than that, he has no credit at all. We need to stop flip flopping and stick to something. You can’t keep buy players for one style and then changing a manager to a different style.

Not keen on Viera personally. Definitely DO NOT want Russell Martin. No way. No to Gerrard too.

Carrick

He’s very Moyes at Man Utd. He has the mentality of a small club manager. Moyes didn’t have the nerve to go for it in games and neither does he. How many CB did we have at one point? 4? 6 defenders?

The issue occurs when managers don’t match the players. Jones was rubbish because he tried to force a style on players not suited to it. The same for Juric. Russell was able to sign players more suitable for this style. Supposedly so has Will Still. I think you can judge someone who’s had a transfer window and pre season more harshly than someone who hasn’t. If.. but more likely when he’s replaced we have to stick to the style of play we want - energy and pressing. We can’t switch again.

The morning after…. It was still terrible. The players aren’t showing the best of themselves and that comes down to the manager. The reasoning about that substitution was poor. I was losing faith but I’ve totally lost it now.

West Ham might be available soon… 🤣

I hate the thought of having to make another change so I want to be patient but… my patience has run out after about 3 wins in 30+ matches. Still looks lost to me. Seems out of his depth. God I hope I’m wrong. This is a mess.

Taxi for Still.
