Dr Venkman

The reports about how much he'll be getting paid strike me as a little odd, not entirely sure who would be interested in leaking that. Hopefully nothing in it.

I don’t know, should he only be given a head coaching job at a team in precisely the same circumstances as his previous job? What sort of reasoning is that? If he’s got enough about him he’ll set the team up for success based on what he’s got to work with. We’ll find that out soon enough if he’s appointed. The club are interviewing multiple candidates, these things will be discussed I’m sure.

One of the things that upset me the most about Pardew’s time here was how easy a ride the fans gave him for so long despite his ineptitude and shithousery. I’m happy that the fans seem to have figured Bruce out quickly and acted upon it. You need that sense of pride and standards to keep club progressing no matter who the owners are.

Could it be the statement from the football club owned by Saudi’s asking people not to dress up as Saudi’s?

Maybe PF will be pragmatic enough to tweak tactics based on the players available? Good coaches can do that.

If he sounds like Borat I really, really want him to manage us.

Well, this thread went to shit didn’t it.

Did you spend much on your costume?

Yesssssssss it happen

If AND when?

That article that said they were down to the last three for final interviews would seem to tally with sacking him now. At least one of them is going to take the job.

No

Fucks sake. Been in the sack the manager bath for ages now, will have to get out soon.

Indeed. And it was clear as day that he’d been appointed because of a perceived lack of discipline in the squad.

Very wary of the argument that we need a defensive minded coach because we can’t defend. That’s the sort of reasoning that appoints Souness as a replacement for Bobby because the team needs ‘discipline’. Just appoint the best candidate.

If the decision is to keep him until another manager is confirmed, as reported in a few places, they can and have made the decision.

If they'd bought Man U there'd have been nowhere near as much of this.

Certainly looks that way doesn't it. Or haggling over the pay off.

Next up, a rule that says NUFC aren't allowed to win anything.

May I politely enquire as to what is big about Frank Lampard's personality? Or do you mean he's a very famous, very good ex-player?

Howay man. I've been away for years, just come back and you're talking about taking on Pardew?

This lad's shite.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Was it just me or did the boss look emotional when he was introduced to the fans?

Cannot BELIEVE people still say Proper Football Man seriously
