If we’re hiring a proper sporting director then he’s not going to limit us to UK based managers or whoever the media says are the favourites. There are quite a few managers out there that have good records and are out of a job.

I recall a Liverpool documentary where he had a big painting of himself in the hallway of his house. He’s proven to be a very good manager tbf I don’t think we’re going to approach anyone until we have a chief exec and sporting director in place. Everything right now is nonsense filling the international break vacuum. The presence of Lampard in the speculation says it all, because there will be zero chance he’s being considered.

In my defence I’ve thought Squires is shit for a long time.

Just saw the footage of the police being chased out of the stand. I hope that's not how it ended.

God, imagine if this fraud benefits from the players being desperate to prove themselves to the new regime.

Squires is mostly shit. I can’t believe that people bother reading the walls of text that accompany his cartoons.

And Hamza Choudury!

Am I the only one still nursing a semi for Ralph Hassenhutl these days? Southampton haven’t had a very good year, but the circumstances there aren’t good.

It's tragic there's no fly on the wall documentary, to watch him get sacked and be escorted from the premises would be eyeball nectar.

Get him walking!

I’m not a big fan of it tbh, I’d rather it was a normal boring takeover. I just want the club to be run properly and spending massive amounts isn’t necessary to me. Trophies to me don’t matter that much, I really don’t think they’re what keeps people invested in the game. The game is structured in such a way that it’s all about who has the money, and most clubs have no chance of ever winning the major ones, yet they all have loyal fan bases. The media would have us believe that winning is everything, but it clearly isn’t. I don’t like the Saudi state for all the usual reasons and no amount of trophies would change my mind on it. I’ll do what I’ve done with football for a long time and just try to enjoy games and players for what they are, and I’ll hope this investment has some positives outside of just football. We’re no less deserving of good players and a good team than any other club, and now there’s a chance this will happen it will increase my interest. There’s really no point in getting on your moral high horse on the internet though because you will be a hypocrite, Saudi investment is everywhere in our society, it’s very difficult not to put money in their pocket. I just wish people would refrain from putting the Saudi flag in their social media and whatnot. You can maintain an interest in NUFC without becoming Saudi fanboys. I’ve got to say I’m as bemused as ever by the idea of sports washing. It just attracts attention to your misdeeds. It makes some sense to host an event as that can change the impression of a country, but buying a football club? I don’t get it.

He’ll be lucky to get any premier league job next IMO.

We may not be able to get a top manager, but that doesn’t mean Gerrard is in the next group. Winning the championship for example is far more impressive to me than winning the SPL with an old firm side.

I would have taken them over Bruce, but that’s it. Gerrard really hasn’t done anything to show he’s going to be a top manager yet. I see him the same as I would a manager that has won the Greek or Austrian league. Neil Lennon has 5 SPL’s.

If we hire someone just because they won the Scottish league with an old firm team I won’t be impressed.

I think Watford might actually be a worse job to take than ours.

Just had a period with no commentary on the Brighton Arsenal game. It was bliss.

Awful idea but the fallout would be hilarious.

I’m happy to just sit back and enjoy the show with regards to this power struggle. We have nothing to lose.

It’s marketing. If he scores in the next couple of games then he has come back from adversity and achieved redemption. Everything is a Hollywood story. IMO anyway.

Nuno might not be in a job tomorrow at this rate. It was obvious in the summer they should’ve hired Rafa, but they thought they were too good for him and interviewed pretty much everyone but him.

I wouldn’t just give him a red, I’d give give him an extended ban.

I expect Lukaku to be better in the next few years, he’s getting better while Kane will be trying to manage his decline.

What’s his relation to Brexit?

Noble, please retire.
