That sounds like exactly what we need

I don’t see how they could go from having Benitez lined up last year to Lampard this year? I know rafa isn’t available but it’s a completely different approach regardless

I’d be so underwhelmed if it was him.

Was it Caulkin who pretty much said we are definitely not getting Rangnick?

Would be surprised if anyone like that is there tbh as they will know the media will be on the lookout

The start time being pushed back a few hours till half one is interesting. More than likely it’s to spend the extra 3 hours briefing him on what he can and can’t say. I fully expect him to come out and sound as those he believes he has a chance at staying on as well fwiw.

I’m all in on Favre based on what I have read on here and some of the articles I have seen. My number one choice is still Conte and him not officially ruling himself out gives me hope it’s possible. He was linked with Arsenal about 6 weeks back and came straight out to deny that, he’s been linked with us for a week now and still hasn’t. Still a long shot I know but it would be such a statement and match with the ambition the consortium spoke about last week.

Think ASM also poured cold water on the bust up rumours on Twitter

Supposedly the appointment of a MD or CEO will help speed up decisions otherwise I agree it would be problematic

Looks like Bruce is in charge till a new manager is picked, fine that they are taking their time with it, but we can’t afford to end up with Lampard/Martinez at the end of this process.

I doubt we will have to worry about a win now he’s in charge tbh.

Sounds like we are going to get a manager first going of that Fab tweet above

You know you have made it big when Fab starts tweeting about you, can’t wait for the here we go tweets in Jan. Also going of that tweet I’m still hoping it’s conte because he for me would be the one that discussions would take the longest over.

If we are keeping him because we have no one lined up then he could be here beyond Sunday

Yeah because that’s what I’m saying

They shouldn’t need to do that over Bruce though

It’s fine asking them stuff to get a feel for the club and fans, but they shouldn’t be asking them their opinion on sacking a manger

I would be fully against it especially Shearer.

I honestly think with caulkin saying the consortium asked his opinion on Bruce earlier that they also asked Shearer and he’s told them to keep him on till Sunday at least.

More the direction, like are they going down the sporting director route ?

Yeah I think it’s premier league rules managers have to do the pre match press conference before a weekend game

Surely we should at least get some form of communication from the owners to tell us the actual plan going forward ?

As long as we are in the bottom 3 we are in with a chance of going down, we need points ASAP considering the run we have in December as well.

As long as they don’t do any sort of presentation or acknowledgment of his 1000 game before kick off I can just about accept 1 more game in charge. If he’s in charge any longer after Sunday then I would be concerned.
