So after reviewing the thread, the new manager checklist needs to include; - a Mourinho/Ferguson like aura to take instant control of the dressing room - tactical flexibility to adapt and change based on opposition, including within games - be able to organise a defence, but also be able to attack and score goals freely - preferably not ginger - not have his own family members as coaches, otherwise it’s classed as nepotism - have strong ability, but minimal ambition so they are happy to come to the Championship and won’t want to leave - have experience of English football, preferably a previous decent playing career - be over 40 as a minimum, but preferably 50 Good luck Spors

I’ve seen this but I don’t think thats correct. Amorim has 24 points from 26 games. Derby got 11 all season, including 24 winless games under Jewell, so the Maths don’t add up.

1) Still leaving Lens is irrelevant- he is going regardless of our interest as wants to move back to UK for personal reasons. 2) only seen Miguel Delaney suggest we’ve formally offered him the job. The local journo’s (House and Blackmore) as far as I can tell have said he is an option and they want to appoint before end of the week 3) don’t think it’s a case Rohl isn’t interested, more that he wants to survey all his options and see what materialises. I do agree though, both shown vastly different respect levels to their existing clubs. I suspect it will be Still, but clearly Rohl was number one choice and if there’s even a slight chance he will join, the club are going to push for it.

He’s only played about 12 games in the championship and a handful of premier league games after basically 2 years injured. Quite how you can make that determination on that basis is ridiculous.

Do wonder if the Will Still bits in the press at the weekend are to give one last hurry up to Rohl to accept or we move on. TBH if he wants to hold out for a better offer then got to ask whether his heart will be in it.

I’ll be making a more concerted effort to watch more local non league football next season - Eastleigh, Sholing and Totton.

Don’t be daft, it would be much closer than that. Most of their players are well into their 40’s now.

He wants to come back to England because his partner has cancer.

I would prefer Rohl over Still, but that’s just purely based on a gut feeling. The fact Still is a free agent though will no doubt put him in box seat. I think Still deserves a bit more credit than he’s getting for his career so far though.

Congrats on missing the point, again.

Do you guys know it’s sunny outside at the moment?

We’re more than capable of being shite and bending over for Everton to have a fairytale ending on our own, but there’s not a chance we’re going to be allowed to get a result here.

Thanks for taking the time to post this FF.

I know they’ve been shite this season, but fair play to Goztepe for finishing above Spurs and Utd.

Are you the Tourette’s version of MLG?

The club didn’t dither with Martin, he was appointed in May then Swansea tried to sue us, but he was still in place when pre season started. You can slate SR for many many things, but dithering over appointing managers isn’t one of them. They’ve appointed new managers very swiftly each time (they’ve just been mostly shite). It’s also not “a couple of quid” either. 7 figure sums are significant for the club, especially upon relegation. Pretty sure there is a £2-3m difference in compo for Rohl depending on if it’s a championship club or premier league club - why pay the extra amount when all it means is hanging on until mid-June to avoid getting sued again. That could be a game changing loan signing for next season.

Well we do, because there’s not a hope in hell Ramsdale is here next season.

I see what you’re saying, but personally aside from Fernandes, there isn’t one player I’d be bothered about leaving. Players like Bednarek to me are just synonymous with the perpetual cycle of shiteness we’ve endured over the last 7 years. We need a complete fresh start.

Vardy to score is probably one of the most sure fire bets in football history.

He scored a screamer recently I’m sure, can’t remember who against.

That seems to be one person who’s mentioned Leeds, who also comes across a bit of a WUM. Leeds would be bonkers to sack Farke and employ Rohl. Leicester seem financially struggling, though rules don’t apply to them so won’t stop them. Wednesday fans seem to think he agreed to come here when we sacked Martin, but we didn’t agree the compo. Whether he’s still keen or that episode has cheesed him off who knows. I still think Germany most likely for him.
