I doubt it, you cant learn a fish to run.. Aye mate, just aye...

Could JFK be the man to return confidence to Smith?

We'll have to finish 3 places lower than out current position to be where we were when he first signed, we'd just finished 14th. I was more on about the seasons beforehand, the seasons where we were finishing UEFA spots with no bother, the 14th was then seen as a blip rather than the norm its become, you could say almost Tottenham like now, without the trophy of course.

Think we should get a target man in if he goes in the summer. Zaki would be a good shout, but his season is evening out a bit now.

Made me chuckle too. Praying NE5 puts it in his sig for life. On a serious note, agreed with both fellas on this one, he's got a huge decision to make, and the club need to show its ready to put itself back where it was the 1st time he signed on, that position being what Villa are doing now.

The JFK way of thinking, i like it.

As if! Been saying it for several seasons its been our downfall. We've need players every single winter window that comes round, and we have nothing in place each time. Hopefully JFK has his targets and negotiations are underway and players are even in for the Hull game. That's how its done properly, would be a massive show that the club has finally progressed if we do.

I was very meh when he was appointed, but he's had my support since that day. I simply couldn't be arsed to get too angry about it, and for me the season was damage limitation when KK walked away again. Got some funny old results under his belt, has managed to get the defence playing the best i've seen easily this decade, which is crazy talk i know, but this lot look more solid than ever i can recall, beaten by single goals when we do lose and playing as a unit not one player carrying the back line ala Woodgate. While doing that playing some nice attacking football and lifting the morale in the stands, in the club and most certainly in the players, even Zoggy is smiling and getting back to the player we loved a while ago. The man could even be persuading Ashley to bolster the squad in January and for me, its just a hunch but Owen is closer to signing a contract with us than ever before. I mean Owen won't leave the Country again as he can kiss goodbye to playing for England if he does, out of sight out of mind, the top 4 don't want him, most clubs cant afford him and the two that possibly do are below us in the table, and he won't be captain there. If it wasn't for two equalizers from former defenders i'd say his spell in charge would have been top notch. He's made poor decisions, but it really does seem the guy picks up on it and learns, not too afraid to makes decisions and not too stubborn to see that he can get it wrong, i've not seen any manager like that here, ever, inc SBR who was as stubborn as a day is long. He does however need to clam down and stop getting banned. Its beyond a joke. Not only has he a dodgy ticker, but obviously we need him there because whatever he says to the players, it works. Maybe the experience he's built over the years, and the timing of the club's demise is perfect for Kinnear. Maybe right now he is what we need? I'm hoping more than anything the big job for him has come at the right time in his career, and this unexpected series of events sees us benefiting for a change, and we got the right man, it just happens it's not the type we usually go for. With all this in to account, its a very difficult question of whether should he be made permanent? The players seem to get on with him, and the owner loves him and he can get on in this set up, and we've seen what happens when that doesn't go, managers lose the dressing room (Allardyce) or the owner and system doesn't fit (Keegan) can we afford to gamble for another man to come in only to have another unseen problem arise, or one of old take us back to 4 months ago? As long as the guy keeps getting results, and can add to the squad then i'm happy for him to be here. There's no rush in replacing him unless the club is sold, and a world class manager is brought in and will get 5+ years to change the club around for life. otherwise, you'll do Joe.

Been beaten by only one goal under his spell so far, not bad considering he's had a few tough games. Close games make interesting games, and that's what we are right now, interesting to watch.

Tbf only nincompoops use the word nincompoop.

Blatant toon fan.

Were the toon fans singing 'we love you dawson, we do...' ??

I used to sign Sakho and some other young DMC for free from PSG every season in FM2008 since their contracts weren't sorted. That's all i know. And on that, we should sign him since Juve used to buy him 2/3 seasons later for £25m+

No thanks, he's gash. Don't be daft, he's quality, could never understand Liverpool letting him go. I'd take him in a heartbeat, on loan as well? Magic.

You use paper? No wonder you are having trouble.

Fuking hell, simply cannot get a break with my dream team atm.

Mint, thank Christ for that.

Genius

How fuking long lefT?!!>!?

Kinnear does it again.

NO WAY?

how long left?

Aye. Looks woeful as well, even for a Liverpool kit. Looks like the late 80's early 90's Candy kit.
