lovejoy

this hasn't had enough credit.

he'd be barmy to come anywhere near us.

Exactly right.

The club is rotten to the core and replacing those below the board is unlikely to change anything. I agree, but they'll make the change none the less.

They won't see Xmas man. It's fucking chaos this

Things going well, in every department I see!

Where's Jol these days btw?

Moyes would be ideal tbh, appointing him would signal the end of the recruitment policy as well.

Ballsy to leave his cushy Sky gig for that like. He'd be an absolute coward if he didn't take that job like eh?

gary neville, new valencia manager.

The thread title is "Who would you go for?"... Well in that case. I want Guardiola, with Enrique as his assistant. Yep. That'll do. It'll be a very short thread if it's 'who would you go for in an ideal world.' Guardiola, close thread. I was obviously being facetious It seems there is quite a small pool of managers to choose from though. The ones that Ashley would actually appoint and the ones that would actually work for him. I'd argue that the majority of the options on that list are unrealistic. I'm just hoping that the threat of relegation and the big money that he'll lose out on. Means that Ashley's hand is forced and he actually appoints a competent manager. It would be nice for him to panic in a good way and properly back a quality manager in the transfer market. Although TBH. We deserve to go down and there is the outside chance that Ashley would sell. So maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. If the last 2-3 years are anything to go by. Then what is the point of us being in the Premier League? i was agreeing with you on the thread title btw. Oh right. Well in that case. Cheers Quite obvious now I re-read it

It's also not a difficult concept to understand, I asked a question, obviously the answer is yes, and thats fine. Presumptuous fecker aren't you!

Nobody said he was btw (the best we can get). The limits are there while Ashley is there. We couldn't get an Eddie howe under Ashley man, let alone a European big name.

Redknapp would be grim as fuck like, no doubt. His record of fixing toxic dressing rooms isn't the best either.

By the way, I don't want a pulis type manager either, but we're so far f***ed I can't see another head coach type working, we're too f***ed for a Garde or mcclaren, who were their two main choices last time.

I'm laughing at the mini rant, I tried to highlight that but it didn't work on my phone. So you know who you don't want, you just don't know who you do?

Who would you (realistically) go for then? And why? Pulis isn't particularly realistic considering he's at a club tbh. Hence 'a pulis'.

They'll stay up imo.

I think the mackems have done it right btw, bringing in that slug to stop the rot, they can then look to make a more progressive appointment once they're stabilised. Could be time for us to do the same. Can't see a Rodgers type fixing this lot, we need a pulis type imo.

Moyes would mean scrapping the whole model imo, which I'd be all for, but can't see them doing it. Moyes wouldn't work in an environment where he couldn't sign who he wanted, it's arguably his biggest strength.

He's used to working with people who give a shit.
