Defo would have Garde over the ones mentioned, but wouldn't be mad if we appointed Laudrup. The club go on about long term, their last long term idea was to give Pardew an 8 year deal. They just say stuff to mask the fact they won't spend any money. Laudrup would massively freshen things up on the training ground and would have us playing decent football at home, something I actually can't remember when we last did. The club got that stagnated I would actually take something short term just to see some good football.

I'll take a year of Laudrup attacking football tbh. Will go tits up but honestly who fucking cares? Can't get any worse plus it's universes better than Carver.

Stuart Pearce revival going well then.

I agree to some extent but I reckon Tiote wouldn't take a second chance. He lost the plot ages ago.

I did too but don't think we'll get so lucky as we did last time, above all else the squad had actual leaders in it that time, now we have a rather spineless group half of whom would be on the phone to their agents to get them the hell out of here. And the Championship imo looks far tougher now than when we went down.

Just trying to get my head round the scenario of us selling Sissoko and keeping Carver on until the summer.

Club will try every possible angle to avoid spending money, simple as that. All the players brought in this summer were down to the fee's for Debuchy & Cabaye. The club is absolutely minted yet won't spend a penny.

basically saying we're nowhere near close to appointing someone.

suppose.

I agree mind, but Ryder and Douglas have been doing themselves absolutely no favours recently so this could do with being something at least credible.

The Chronicle need to this to be good.

This. Unrivalled as a player but not the head coach we all want. The next cheap option after Carver.

Marko Marin to Anderlecht. Nice to see his move to Chelsea worked.

I have lingering hope that the silence means there's still something in this, if that makes sense. If it wasn't happening i'm sure Garde or crazily even the club may have said something and let Carver crack on. We're into the break now and they usually announce shit news at the beginning to allow it to sink in.

i'd have either of the cunts.

Any manager they've spoken to will have gotten a clear brief on how he has no say on transfers this month or any window, so can't see why they'd wait till the end of that. Unless it's to divert attention away from bringing in players, but thats pointless really.

They're struggling to find someone who'll accept the salary they were paying Pardew. Pretty clear imo.

cmd + r actually.

I'm sure it came out that he never actually said these things but could be wrong. I remember reading the quotes at the time and thinking 'this is it'

It's embarrassing though if Carver does get the job. It's like the club can't be arsed to appoint a manager, which you sort of need these days in football.

0-1 them I think. Enough to seal the contract for Carvs.

If they beat Southampton they'll maybe announce it Sunday night or something. If not they will probs announce during the dubai trip with a line somewhere along the lines of 'the team bonding session in Dubai have provided sufficient proof that John is qualified for the role' cunts

tis like. prepare for inevitable shit news.

pretty much nailed on to be carver then.

thought this too.
