About the third person to suggest locking. Just don't open the thread if you don't want to.

Haaven't follow for a while, why is Feng Xiaoting not included? The defense line seems lack of classy players Don't know, possibly something political as he's been in good form for GZ.

中国加油！

Fuck that shit. Keep him, get a decent manager with a bit of ambition in and see where we can go. If the club at least appears not to be a stagnant, unambitious mess we may have a chance of holding onto some of these players and doing something interesting.

And not a Sports Direct in sight. How times change

Agree with oldtype tbh.

I like the sound of the intensive pressing! Hate it when we sit off and defend at the edge of our box at home. Its f***ing s***. Have you read the whole thing? This sounds too familiar: I get what you're saying but the pertinent part in the whole quote is: Rather than Pardle's which would be:

The problem is he's not a good coach. For example his solution to the bolded section won't be to train the players properly in off the ball movement and good passing shapes, it'll be to lump it long at the opposition box and play the percentages game which, for me anyway, is the worst, most unimaginative football possible.

I think he looks decent He gets into good positions and his technique looks good. Needs to improve on his decision making but that'll come with experience you would hope.

We may struggle to get 2 wins judging by last couple of games. You probably have to ignore yesterday when considering performances. Against Burnley, who you have to remember are a form side we put in a very good first half. You would have to believe at this stage that there is no reason that can not be transferred into a 4 to 5 wins at least, especially with Aarons, Abeid, Cisse, De Jong and Santon coming back, and perhaps more opportunities for Cabella under new management.

He'd love to have SD plastered all over the newspapers.

Remember all those times just after another disappointing transfer window or when season ticket renewals were coming up and we used to be treated to all these stories about our transfer targets and the fantastic lists of brilliant and expensive players we'd targeted to sign?

The only thing with this Cabaye deal is that people have been using him leaving as an excuse for us being shit. If he comes back under a new manager and we're suddenly good again they're going to ignore the fact it's down to Pardle finally fucking off and say 'Ha, look, Cabaye, told you silly geordies all along'.

He was a nice lad at school.

Even if the fans turn on him en masse he can just stop going to games and basically ignore the club apart from banking a fuck off huge cheque each season.

I'd rather they pissed off but if they have to hang around I hope the new guy is at least allowed to bring in a few competent, qualified coaches and just lets these muppets sweep the car park or something.

Come on Ketsbaia! Garde or Favre would be decent too but I can't see us paying the compensation to get the latter.

Must be hard being the first bobble-head to make it as a professional footballer.

Rosler's wiki is suspiciously positive in a 'written by a PR firm' kind of way.

Perez is suspended and on his way to the ACON for Senegal anyway.

It is a bit of an improvement attacking wise. Vuckic in behid that front three could be interesting, especially if Anita has license to get forward too.

Well, if you think he's decent I think that goes a long way to making the rest of our minds up.
