We won’t appoint a manager before a sporting director imo, if as is strongly rumoured that is the route they are going down.

The article also says in talks to replace Stuart Bruce ?

That express article is awful ? it’s based on a sun article which is based on the telegraph saying Lampard might be under consideration ?

Good idea Im interested in peoples preference as seems to be many differing views.

Just caught the end of Downie on SSN, sure he said Bruce was due to speak to the media today but the club has cancelled it. He also said no decision made on his future yet. edit- no decision made on future but still expected to lose his job before Sunday

Maybe they had the idea to give it to jones but on speaking to the players they have changed their minds ?

Yeah, not sure his reasons for not going there.

AVB linked in the french press

Anyone rate the Atlanta manager ?

His pre match press conference will be either tomorrow or Friday won’t it ?

I agree with that, however my main issue is the position we are in I don’t think we can afford to waste any games and keeping him in charge for even one more is a massive missed opportunity

My concern is that they have spoken to the likes of Shearer and caulkin who have said he isn’t good enough long term but he deserves his 1000 match on Sunday.

Yeah the contractually difficult line is a load of rubbish, managers are sacked all the time, the compo and stuff is sorted after.

Can’t afford to even give him one game, knowing him he will start Wilson who isn’t fully fit get him injured and then he out for months.

He can stop with the patience line

Then they would be very wrong

Or we win and he stays, they won’t sack him after a win.

Would be an awful decision but I’m still going to enjoy the game regardless

Maybe they are wanting a replacement in first and are currently in negotiations with them

Again I agree, however my concern is he flukes a win on Sunday and then that’s him here for another couple of games I just think we need to use the momentum and feel good the takeover bought and really try use it the next few weeks and for me Bruce stops a lot of that.

I understand what you are saying, but there is zero benefit in having him around at all anymore. In fact him being there damages our chances for Sunday and will dampen the atmosphere.

Think it depends how much they have listened to his mate Shearer
