  1. We don’t have the squad for a Dyche appointment even if we wanted him, which thankfully we don’t
  2. Derby literally got into the playoffs the year before abd narrowly missed out the year before that Coventry… ok, but again they’re a good side at this level, did well turning them around though But he’s not achieved anything, Id put him roughly on the same level as martin was really, purely because martin was highly regarded as a coach
  3. In what way has he proven that then
  4. You keep saying this shite… like any league there is a roughly defined way of play, for the majority. The prem can be different to many leagues, to the point you get a lot of coaches saying they get caught out by the physicality of it The championship is no different, but added to that, you play games thick and fast and often have to adapt towards the latter stages as teams get ready for playoff runs Now Im ok with Will Still, I think he’ll be fine.. but you’ve said this ‘label for the game’ bullshit about 8 times like you’ve got it out of a fortune cookie and its utter crap
  5. I never said he did Do keep up
  6. Who still hasn’t achieved fuck all Not sure why we’re going round in circles
  7. Ligue 1 is a higher standard to the Championship
  8. Oh ok… so 2 out of three that havn’t achieved anything
  9. Nevermind Ive just seen, Lampard, a guy thats *checks notes* not achieved anything either
  10. Unfortunately Im well aware of MLGs MO Shame on me for continuing to be drawn in by it
  11. Im not against Will Still, I think he’s a good progressive manager and, tbh, has a far superior CV to Rohl But personally, because of how vital it is to be promoted and, once there, pragmatically stay in the prem, I would have personally probably preferred Cooper But it is what it is… Rohl’s insistence to wait for a bigger job, unless he’s been sounded out already, feels a bit odd
  12. Are we at the stage now where we’re going to blame RA for every wrong decision and someone else for the right ones ?
  13. Things are always vague to protect sources But I can tell you it was part if the reason for Delap moving to Ipswich and why we almost lost out on Downes
  14. Talking of deafening I see you completely ignored my post pertaining to the fact Parsons was directly implicated in being obstructive to our summer transfer business Tbh though, ive been on this forum for probably best part of 20 years, quite how the mods allow you to consistently derail basically every thread is beyond me
  15. I can’t see Leipzig going for a relatively untested championship manager
  16. A significant chunk went to SSEN in order to underground the overhead infrastructure that was originally in place
  17. I dunno I think he’s a good coach, with a worthy philosophy, someone will take him on I don’t think we’d of stayed up but think if we had a good footballing DoF putting in the correct checks and balances we’d of made better transfer decisions as well as maybe stopping a lot of Martins stubbornness around his way of play He’ll certainly have admirers but Id suggests he’s the sort of manager you ultimately need a strong squad, relative to the competition, for him to thrive
  18. For some reason my reply didn’t send yesterday… Basically Bitcon is now the sort of, performance side director, so sports sciences, medicine side, analytics overview etc, allowing Spoors to develop the side you’d expect from a DoF He DID step closer into a DoF role, alongside Parsons when Wilcox left, with Rasmus acting as a sort of strategic overview… Rasmus’ role was already watered down once Wilcox joined, and he now spearheads overall multiclub strategy (alongside bitcon) and also is president of Goztepe… I believe he also stepped into the void left when Wilcox went, and has again stepped out of it No idea who made the overall decision to not replace Wilcox, but it was a poor one
  19. Well.. for one its been stated he was the point of contact for transfer negotiations and its been heavily hinted that his obstructive nature was a big reason why we missed out on some of our bigger targets, for instance, Liam Delap Now.. he’s done ok commercially so I wouldn’t necessarily want to see him gone, but I would have no issues seeing Bitcon (director if football operations) depart
  20. Pretty much still applies Bloke cannot mark to save his life
  21. There are always outliers mate
