Bad Wolf

Wouldn't even want him doing that tbh. I've always wanted Adkins back as academy manager, he'd be brilliant. Thing is, it would essentially be a demotion. If you were the store manager of a Tesco, did a great job, got sacked suddenly and harshly, you wouldn't want to go back as warehouse manager four years later. He'd be a good choice for England U23s.

He's just a total bellend. There's trouble wherever he goes. Still, I don't think us fans get a say...Mind you, we seem to have put peer pressure on the board so they sacked Puel.

Difficult to know how to feel about that one!

"Who needs Mauricio? We've got Mauricio!"

If he's poached then he'll have to go a good job. This is why I have no objections to us being used as a stepping stone club by players or managers.

Me neither

Adkins may have done that for all we know. He wasn't given the chance to. We'll never know how that would have panned out.

Yes. Announced this morning but we all got together with the club officials and national media and thought it would be far better to erase the announcement from history so we can pull a fast one on you. It was Sammy Lee's idea.

Sholing I believe!

Shall we have a mini-sweepstake? Just guess the day and a two hour slot. I reckon it'll be Sunday between 4pm and 6pm.

J-Rod has signed for WBA on my FM world, August 2020. It's a sign!

Signed him on FM the other day, he's great! Though I think we're pretty covered in that area aren't we?

Overseeing the journey of League One to regular top half of the PL in a short space of time is underwhelming to you?

He's done it at a bigger pond and got found out. Very overrated manager and a smarmy bastard too.

we're linked to a player I've never heard of, I form a temporary judgement based on the other clubs that are being linked...Does anyone else do this?

Have we had it confirmed that Black has left too?

Anyone else think it feels different this time? Normally when we're on a managerial search, I'm checking this site every five minutes, looking up stats of everyone that's even vaguely linked and just getting generally hyped up. This time, it's just meh. Maybe because of the underwhelming list of names being linked. Or maybe it's because it's been obvious we were going to be looking for a new manager this summer for several months.

Snatch their hands off.

Then we wouldn't have been relegated, we wouldn't have been on the brink, we wouldn't have got The Leighburr's and we wouldn't be in the fantastic position we're in now despite everyone's whinging. We're in a far healthier state now than we were in 2004 IMO.

Did he have his ear piece in? If not, it wasn't him.

I think De Boar's reputation of blooding academy players might swing it his way.

Or they might be getting our second choice. I don't think we'll appoint someone before the weekend. I reckon it'll be not this Thursday, the Thursday after.

Just typed his name into Google, there's nothing about him being linked to us. Where has this rumour even come from?

Despite having little managerial experience, the idea of Viera coming to manage us excites me quite a bit but I can't put my finger on why.

I'd pay £10 million, 13 at the most for Sahko and consider it a very good signing...Any more than that and it becomes ****
