Thought Baines and Rooney were very poor.

We need to attack to negate their decent midfield. Play to our strengths and let them worry about us.

I have complete confidence and faith in Les Reed, the board and our owner. Wonderful people, the club is in excellent hands.

25000+ posts. That's depressing.

Dodgy ground there, we could follow it up with '2 Little Boys' and finish off with the theme tune from Jim'll Fix It.

Bookies still think it's Koeman. I am going to spend the rest of the day watching cricket, golf and football. Might even bash one out. I suggest you all do the same, rather than log on here all day hoping to hear some news. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Very good point.

They interviewed Benitez this morning. Maybe Les set it all up and whoever does the best gets the job.

Bit of a reality check for Lovren.

Koeman back into to 8/15 on SkyBet.

I could change my view. I am both an open person and flaky as f*ck.

How I feel, and much better expressed than my effort.

You think that's bad luck, I've got £40 on Koeman being our new manager.

I don't blame him personally if he is wheeled out to give a real positive message, which he has done, but also did before we lost our manager and striker. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the time being taken is either the club dithering, or the club not being able to finalise a deal for who they do want. I'm not sure that it is a robust process. Only my opinion. Fair play to you Minty for asking a genuine question rather than make a sarcastic comment.

Depends on whether you believe him or not. The longer we go without appointing a manager, the less inclined I am to believe him.

Never trust a man with a comb-over.

'Sooner rather than later'. Close it Les.

Don't buy it, don't even look at it online. Used to, before it descended into total crap.

I think it would be a mistake trying to appoint a carbon copy of Poch. Think we also need more of a name to command the respect of our international players.

Interview sounded like a bit out of Fawlty Towers.

Getting fed up of all this crap. Just appoint the new boss and move forward from all this crap. We've even had Manuel talking English at Spurs.

Couldn't give a toss whether he wants to leave or not. It's up to the new manager. I wonder if we'll string this line out until next Summer, whilst not appointing a new boss, thus retaining the squad. It feels like it at the moment...

F*cking dosh c*nt.

He doesn't seem to be a good fit for us.
