like rafa

definitley not

would take that right know if it kept us up. mediocrity is a couple of steps up from fat shite.

they got quite a bit for coutinho though didnt they?

not keen on howe, but the other way to look at it is he may have stayed too long, got into a rut and couldnt get himself out. he's had time off to recouperate and analyse where it may have gone wrong. new set of players (admittedly shit) and a new environment may be just what he needs.

i think there's gonna be some attempt at face-saving from the club now. we'll get more leaks about how great his interview was and how some board members preferred him as first choice

we've been managed by a cabbage patch doll for over 2 years ffs. give me a ken anytime!

wonder if emery negotiated a pay rise with villareal overnight.

may well have pissed fonseca and favre off - interviewing them and then leaking it that we had narrowed down the search to howe and emery.

fuck it. get him in today. set the team out for sturday. given him a few players in january. get shot in the summer if we stay up. just all getting a bit too ridiculous. ashley fucked us by not investing over the summer.

we are second bottom - 6 places from safety. not as attractive as a better team based in London.

may be the only long term choice of theirs that hadnt turned it down was emery. howe may have been the short term back up so they could start afresh in april/may if we stayed up and we'd be more attractive for a higher level coach.

agree that the leak was poor form, especially on a champions league gam,e day. emery will have been fuming. board needs to learn and move on. need to try not too hard in getting the local media onside by feeding them stuff like this. we need to know when its done and signed off, whoever it is.

talksport earlier this morning had reported that villareal had released at statement saying he was staying.

think we can think about more glamorous or attacking coaches once we've survived and stabilised.

hard to tell. we didnt take the piss out of rafa's accent but fuck me brucey's was bad.

dont care about his previous record in the prem as long as we finish at least 17th this season.

hope he stays as he's got a lot of learning to do and we be great for him to get a decent job in the future.

if we get him, lets get this made up as a flag! (like jocky wilson and dexy's on totp .... god i'm old!

we're gonna struggle to attract decent managers or players stuck to the foot of the table. any half decent coach would be fine. if he saves us from relegation but is generally shite, they'll sack him in the summer. its all about getting to the end of the season and staying up.

we want dick!!!!!

what really annoys is that him and bruce just persist with same tactics and largely the same personell game after game even when it clearly isnt working. other than dropping big jow and miggy - its same old.

whilst i dont agree with his starting line up, the tactics for the first hour were understandible. what wasnt was the fact that we went 0-1 down and he just kept the same formation and tactics. we would still probabaly have lost but we could of at least TRIED changing things. it was as though it was jones going for a 0-0 or nothing.

and joelinton has played up front for the vast majority of those games, so the fact that an average midfielder has similar stats says it all.
