If he does sign, he’ll probably want to bring Henry with him, from Chelsea.

Why can’t we get it done tomorrow?

That would explain a lot of what I read on here TBH.

Neither had Poch, Ralph nor Koeman. All that really matters is experience at a decent level of football. There're no special rules in Italy and France that Still and Juric couldn't get their head around. Still didn't have a clue what his best team or tactics were, Juric was never going to change our fortunes with the players we had.

We appointed Still in May, didn't do us any good. Far better to wait and appoint the right guy for the job, not that I'm saying it's a forgone conclusion.

No worries, Russia only had enough petrol for three days, so we'd outlast them by more than double.

Because you seem to have this wild fantasy that Russia is still the Soviet Union, with the world's second best military. You're completely unwilling to accept any of the major, glaring flaws in Russia's military. Whilst I know Bret is on a wind up, you seem to believe all this stuff is genuine. You seem to be equating Ukraine, armed with donated weapons, with actual armed forces from NATO countries. Vast swaythes of the Russian airforce sits rusting away on disused airfields, overgrowing with weeds, whilst you seem to equate these aircraft to F35s because, "Russia gets more bang for their buck and are self sufficient." They aren't. They don't have anything like the supply chain or expertise to match the west. Corruption, bureaucracy and inefficiency are absolutely rampant.

Given the injury to Stewart and Downs being hopeless, I'd hope we can try and get another striker on loan in January. I wouldn't expect us to be splashing the cash on players and nor should we. We've just chucked £60m at the squad, and had to pay off Still and find a replacement.

Yes we are. The ingredients are all there, we just need the right man to come in and get them playing as a team.

No, they don't. They will no doubt have considered than GON would be an unpopular appointment, but fans don't dictate how a club is run. The only thing that would make a difference would be if you run the club into the ground financially with widespread boycotting, which wouldn't happen if GON came in and actually did a half decent job.

You’re comparing the man who won the PL at his first attempt with the man who steered one of the most expensive teams in Championship history to 20th.

It’s a lot harder to interview prospective replacements if the incumbent manager is still in place. As soon as the first hint gets out that’s what we’re doing, Still’s position basically becomes untenable and he’d have to go anyway. Besides, after two points in five games, I’m not sure what you think was worth hanging on to.

That would be England who are on their way to eight wins out of nine under Tuchel, the only defeat being a friendly.

He’d be an absolute cracker of a signing.

TBH, that’s probably more sensible than rushing into a panicked appointment. None of the names we’ve been linked with have been awe-inspiring, so far. Tonda not being a disaster in the last two games at least buys us a bit of time to find the right guy.
