TBH I think it's hilarious

Steve Bruce's sports scientist was obviously working from home, in a cellar without a fucking laptop, phone or any other communication device.

One rule for them and another for us. Mackem logic

?

And we totally and utterly apologise whole heartedly to any cabbages that were offended

Plenty players in Europe to target if that's the case

Hurry up and get a DoF in ffs! Just starting the new bedwetting topic?

Whoever wrote that just proves to the world they knows fuck all about football. Just a thick tosser trying to have a go at Rafa and embarrassing themselves in the process

Same, unless I wanted a canny bag of coke then he might come in useful

Well to be fair I agree with you. Whether Jackson was guilty or not it would give opposing fans a stick to beat us with?

Can't remember him ever being convicted of that mind. But since you're judge and jury we'll leave it at that

Hiw about Smooth Criminal. Michael Jackson Eddie are you ok...........

I'm quite warming to the idea of Howe now. Was a bit pissed off yesterday with the Emery rejection but he's obviously bottled it. I just hope there's plans yo bring in a DOF to work alongside Howe and they can plan for the transfer window. I think once Howe has taken training for a couple of weeks we'll start to see a difference on the field. The players are obviously unfit and can't last the whole 90 minutes thanks to Bruce's free days off. So anyway, just waiting for Howe to knock us back now

It's been well proven that Keegan's defence wasn't half as bad as most make out. As usual it's just lazy journalism. Yeah he liked to play attacking football but the defence wasn't too bad and I'd say if we had of had Schmichael in goal we'd have been a lot better

Rose tinted glasses man. Who else has served up better football for us then? Only Sir Bobby came close but Keegan took us on when we were totally shit. How can anyone have anything bad to say about Keegan?

Exactly. What the hell happened with Fonseca. At least he wants the job

How much longer can I go on supporting this car crash of a club. Yeah let's bring Howe in who'll inevitably get fucking homesick the first 3 months up here

Let's just see what happens tomorrow. Too many journos jumping to conclusions here

I couldn't tell you mate but he did like the drink

Just caught the tail end of the ssn breaking news. Apparently he needs a liver transplant

I've got my little girly knickers ordered in advance. Cheers for the heads up

I can't get my head around it tbh. I thought he'd at least have a bit money for transfers but he hasn't even got that. He's on a hiding to nothing

If Steve Bruce was half the manager these expert pundits would have us believe then we might have a few more points than we do, which in turn would have us relaxed knowing we have plenty time to get the right set-up in place. In reality though, we have 4 points in the league and already needing our first win asap. So I can understand some posters concerns. Saying that we have only played 9 games, leaving us with 29 left to play with the January window coming up. So any manager worth his salt could look at this and think 'no problem'. I think Rafa would be my first choice as he already knows most of the squad, as do they know him and I think we'd pick up points a lot quicker once Rafa got them up to speed again. If the consortium are wanting to bring in a DOF then things are different. I don't know how Rafa would feel about that and it could be a stumbling block. Also it would make more sense to bring in the DOF first and let them make the manager choice as they'll have to work together and it would be better if they've worked together before. It's pretty obvious that Rafa was their first choice and with him being at Everton it's thrown a spanner in the works. So it might take a bit more time than they'd have liked, but at the same time, they have to get it right first time or it just sets us back years. So we obviously will have to have a bit of patience and hope they get it right at the first attempt
