I'd rather have Sturrock than O'Neil.

I'm not sure why we'd think that. Carrick has an example of being an impact manager at Boro. I don't think oniel does.

My prediction: We will play five at the back again. Bazunu will stay in goal and make mistakes which may or may not lead to a goal. We will score and then panic allowing Wednesday to score. We will get a second and hang on for an unconvincing 2-1 win. Off the back of that Sports Republic will announce that they've seen enough and appoint Eckert as the new manager. I wonder how much I will get right.

My mistake! He's the equivalent of appointing Sturrock.

I'm not avoiding anything! I didn't consider it relevant to the discussion since I never disputed that a managerial choice would be a gamble. What I said was that the response to someone saying they don't want O'Neil of "who do you expect Zidane?" is ridiculous which it is. You are aware I am sure of a number of realistic managers we have been linked with, many of whom I would rather have here than O'Neil. That does not mean I am asking for someone completely unrealistic. If you want to go off on a tangent and debate something I haven't disputed then six managers we could conceivably get that I may not even be a huge fan of but I would prefer to O'Neil: Hassenhuntl Carrick Corberan Robins Wagner Carsley

That's the team.

I think I'm leaning that way as well. Combination of a decent player so should command respect, has worked with some of our players and knows how to get the best out of them, has history in the league of improving performances for a team near the bottom, good links in the game so may be able to attract some decent talent on loan and seems quite likable compared to some of our managers who are very grating.

Every managerial appointment we could make would be a gamble of some kind clearly. I never claimed anyone we get in would be the messiah but taking issue with someone who doesn't want O'neil by saying "who do you expect Zidane?" is perverse. No one is calling for wholly unrealistic options, they'd just prefer someone else on the realistic list who isn't so divisive.

100% Gary O'Neil would lose at fratton and you'd have the agent Gary shit all over the Internet. I don't want to be managed by a divisive figure when we badly need some unity.

Ridiculous response. There's at least 6 options on the list I'd prefer to Gary O'Neil. The options aren't Gary O'Neil or Zidane.

What has Gary O'Neil done to show he would be a good option in this situation? That's before you even mention his extensive history with that lot down the road.

Absolutely insane.

I'd go so far as to say that if we do see some significant improvements then I'd consider him something of a Saints legend.

Arguably our best signing since the last time he signed.

What has that fucker Stephens done to get a start? He's shit.

Statistically the worst keeper in the league. Appaling.

Bollocks. Mads THB Wood Manning Downes Jander Fellows Aribo Scienza Armstrong Is a better team than this one.

They had invites for it at the fans forum.

Pretty sure I mentioned on here about the mini mart that sprung up a few months ago in Shirley. Also numerous Turkish barbers, vape shops and mobile phone stores that never seem to have many customers at all. It's been clear for ages, amazing this hasn't been looked into properly already.

Ramsdale isn't coming back. We need a replacement keeper.

I agree. It was seeming genuine that was his biggest asset. If the Democrats want to appeal to the country then they need more of that (less of the commie stuff though).

Personally I'm looking forward to a manager who uses Fellows and possibly Azaz properly so we can at least slightly see what they're capable of.

Ah all the football Alans are twats.

He spent most of yesterday having a fight with a pie.

Of course. It's still quite unlikely barring a total turn around from a new manager but it could still be done. Writing off the whole season at this point is silly and even if we don't make the playoffs we need some good momentum and a settled manager ready for a push next year.
