No not at all

Just a kind of Hysteria I would have thought. Nothing that was said by the new lot suggested that Strahan was in the frame in the least especially as they wanted a completely clean start

Glad I was wrong when earlier I suggested that he would return to Reading Much better than I could have hoped for including the overrated Mr Strachan. Lets give him time and look forward to the future with renewed confidence

Yes a very balanced post which I fully agree with but why has a manager not been announced yet I still think Strachan was slightly overated

And of course we would probably do not want Burley an International Manager and Hoddle an ex international manager

Exactly

Yes I agree with you I cannot see DOF working Just looked up Pardew who seems to have a reasonable background http://www.4thegame.com/club/west-ham-united-fc/manager-profile/31147/alanpardew.html

Probably not good enough

I am not suggesting that he would not do a reasonable job but I dont feel he has the patience to develop the club in the next few years. But I am still confused as to whether the club is to get a director of football

Coppell Pardew Curbishley for me

If we were near the top of the Championship Strachan would have more to offer. Pardew by the way is 48 on Saturday

Dont understand all this support for Strachan as the only positive comments are that he can get the team fitter. Not sure he can develop a team to move from Bottom League 1 to the Top of the Championship. But with loads of money he may

Pardew did a very good job with Reading but since Curbishley left Charlton like us they have been in free fall

213 -2 Yes a Draw looks likely but either team can still win but maybe the weather will intervene

The tail did really well last time so I doubt if they can do it again. 400 tops I would have thought. Really irresponsible batting from a number of the batters I would bring back Bell now

Yes I saw that game too got a free ticket

The last time I saw Ajax was in Barcelona in a pre season tournament 1974 the stadium was immense. They played Barcelona and it was probably one of the best games I ever saw hope Saturday's game will be as memorable

I think it was a saga that they wanted to run and run to sell newspapers but some of the info was interesting and not posted on here before hand

Just like when Pearson arrived

Yes you may well be right but I am not really sure that is the right decision to get us from the bottom of Div 1 to the Premiership but with loads of money perhaps it will be OK

It does not mean that as Strachan is the favorite he will become the manager it just means lots of people are betting on him being manager

Sometimes information does get here before SSN Echo etc but you are right not very often.

I thought he was never wrong

I could not believe either I just thought he had been made coach and a manager would be appointed

Yes I agree with you but also a bit of luck would help I would have thought.
