The worry for the BBC is if this is common practice. Someplace, somewhere somebody is meticulously checking through the speeches of all high profile politicians and how they were portrayed on Newsnight or Panorama....

I heard the rumours but wages must be a stumbling block. I would bite your hand off for him.

If we are struggling to attract a manager in a more conventional way I would propose putting a structure together with Romeu, Ward Prowse and Lallana. They all love our club, have enough status to generate respect within the dressing room and are intelligent. Romeu and Lallana have played under some very high brow coaching set ups.

Or the memorable Saints line up of Best, Pele and Jesus

Do you really think that doctoring speeches of presidential candidates shortly before an election is a good look?

You could argue that they did not need to doctor his speech to demonstrate that but they did and the integrity of the BBC's impartiality has been massively compromised.

I am not sure you appreciate the magnitude of what Panorama did! They doctored a speech to portray negatively a presidential candidate of the world's most powerful democracy shortly before an election.

Alan McLoughlin was rather unfortunate because if he played a certain amount of games we had to pay a chunk more money so the number of games he played was limited and he could not prove himself. He then went onto our neighbours and flourished.

I think we can probably put out two teams!

The creators would be locked up nowadays.....

Can they please appoint a manager who; 1 Has a stature that will give the supporters a feel good factor. This has not happened since I initially thought we had appointed the Pellegrino that was at Man City and not the one we ended up with. 2 Has an understanding of the Championship 3 Somebody who the players look up to, respect and fear. Should not be allowed near cups of tea at half time. 4 Will not do well and then just leave at the first decent offer - this might mean they have failed somewhere putting off the big clubs. Failure quite often gives them a point to prove something that can be harnessed. 5 A manager who attracts players. In the same way that Koeman brought, Tadic, Pelle and Mane when he arrived As supporters we need to recognise that in terms of attractiveness to candidates, we are looking a little dishevelled and have put on two stone.

The sheer stupidity of appointing a 32 year old when all your players need is some wily old veteran to build them up again.

I am afraid I agree. Another attempt to find the next Pep Guardiola or Pochettino.

Honestly, who did the scouting?

He has spent the money but appears to be incredibly badly advised.
