John B

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.

I agree but surely someone like Saga assuming he was trying would be pretty good in Div 1 With the Premiership full of foreign players the better English ones are now in the lower leagues I would have thought and the standard of football maybe improving

Yes I agree a lack of experience and confidence I would have thought

You and many others appear to be obsessed with the fact that the team are not fit but where is the proof you maybe right but I dont know . Murty said the team was fit and skilful and when they came in a week early everybody was as fit as they should be. Of course the team should be fit but I would rather have a team of skilfull players any day

I dont think Strachan is the manager to take us from the Bottom of League 1 to the Premiership. If however he had replaced Redknapp when we were in the Championship that is different

My 'Yes' list: Gus Poyet Gordon Strachan Steve Coppell Aidy Boothroyd Christian Gross Paul Tisdale Darren Ferguson Kevin Keegan 'Unsure' list: Alan Curbishley Alan Pardew 'No thanks' list: Glenn Hoddle Tony Adams Graeme Souness Alan Shearer Dennis Wise Ian Dowie Kevin Bond Harry Redknapp

I dont really know 1 The strength of the other teams in the Division 2 What new players we will bring in but at the moment I would have thought that we will be in the relegation zone for sometime

I think Crouch may want to go to Fulham so Sunderland are offering a lot How many clubs has Crouch played for?

Pothas and Tremlett not playing Is Tremlett injured again Sussex 46 - 2
