Yes he should, but he'd be wasting his time trying to get a tune out of Shelvey and Joelinton.

Criminal the shite we have here atm. Keepers: Dubravka decent but injury prone, the rest are shite. Defenders: Lascelles, Clark and Dummett all still here from the championship season, all mediocre to shite depending on whos managing them. Only Schar and Fernandez have any quality but have hardly had a look in. In terms of fullbacks, Krafth is hopeless, Lewis looks out of his depth, Manquillo best of a bad bunch. Midfielders: Shelvey, Hayden and Ritchie all survivors of the championship and all given extended contracts, none good enough. Neither Longstaff will amount to anything either imo. Hopefully Willock does not turn into Kennedy Mk 2. In ASM, Almiron, Fraser and Murphy we have enough in the wide areas for now. Attackers: Wilson aside the rest are dross and should be jetisoned asap.

He'll be in he stands. Totally nonsensical for him to take charge just before the international break.

I'll nail my colours to the mast here and say he'll be a disaster. Hope I'm proved wrong, time will tell.

Should have jetisoned Bruce on day one, leaked the Emery link prematurely. Howe in isolation would have been accepted failry well but the fact he is a clear step down from Emery takes any sort of gloss off it. His teams can't defend for shit either.

Its fair to say this new lot have made the preverbial howling cunt of things since they took over.

Over his five PL years at Bournemouth they conceded an average of 66 goals a season. He sounds ideal to sort out our dogshit defence.

Another embarrassing defeat.

Howe would be an absolute disaster, we can't defend for shit and his Bournemouth teams conceded loads as well. We'd probably be best getting a firefighter in to keep us up then start again in the summer.

Lets be honest, Conte was never going to come to us was he? Spurs are at least three years ahead of us in terms of squad/infrastructure etc.

We started with Hislop and iirc he did ok but got injured and Pav came in, and when Hislop was available again Keegan decided to stick with Pav, not dropping him until after the Liverpool 4-3. If we'd had Schmeichel we'd have pissed it .

Agreed. Took Wigan down and shit at Everton.

How many of our players would get into their first XI? ASM and thats it.

Their squad is light years ahead of ours.

So Asprilla didn't miss any chances then during that run?

I'm not having that like. Yes he turned the game against Boro on his debut and the two goals against City, but other than that nothing he did contributed towards the end result that season. According to that article it was partly due to Ferdinand missing a sitter at West Ham ffs.

I'll get pelters for saying this but here goes. Never understood the general love in for him, apart from being zany and the hatrick against Barcelona. Upset the balance of the team in 96 and contibuted to us blowing the league in my opinion.........

Total croc who is well past it, what could possibly go wrong?

Standard 0-2 defeat.

Will get his usual 6 or 7 in the PL if they're promoted again.

Fake as fuck, you can see where he has already cut the top of his top so he can rip it off.

Haway that was obviously a piss taker.

No chance he walks what payoff will he get when sacked?

What's the odds on him rocking up at Cardiff when MicMacMackem gets the bullet? Would show him up as the greedy money loving cunt he is if he did! Edit: Sorry can this be moved to the Bruce thread please?
