Our (potential) new managers thread derailed into filth in just 8 posts. Thats a record shirley?

That makes sense as theres nowt we can do about Rithie or Fraser until Jan at the earliest.

Howe is an intersting choice. He clearly had problems in his last season in Bournemouth but as said above, he had took the club as far as he could. How many times have we seen a manager reshape an entire playing squad in order to push on, Ferguson did it at Man Utd, Wenger at Arsenal, any more? Its an incredibly difficult thing to do. Obviously Fergy and Wenger were top managers and maybe Howe could have if he'd had similar resources. Or maybe he just wasnt good enough. Time will tell if he comes here.

People seem to to forget we are still the same dysfunctional club. Nothing has changed in the slightest apart from the ownership structure. The club is a blank canvas, and its gonna take time bring in the people who can help reshape the club.

I may be wrong, but i think its to do with property. So maybe the transfer of 10% (Ruebens share of the consortium) of club property??

I must be the only one who is completely calm about this.

In the grand scheme of things - weve got decades of Saudi ownership to look forward too. Waiting a couple of months for key positions to be filled isnt going to be that difficult. Though obviously the sooner a new manager can get to work with the players the better. Even if we have Jones on board til January, so what? We could very easily buy our way out of trouble. Even if we somehow get relegated this season, so what? Weve got decades of Saudi ownership to look forward too... Im trying to look on the bright side here. But maybe the first appointment should have been a DOF - someone with the knowledge, the contacts, the reputation, someone who can sell the club to new players and the potential new manager.

Companies House hasnt been updated, so is it?

I take it were all watching Sid's last match?

Read elsewhere that he resembles Sid the Sexist and you can totally see it in that video

Promising? Hes been at the very top of the game for 2 decades!

This fallen through yet?

Hopefully a few weeks of full time training means we can concentrate on other parts of our game apart from fitness.

Bring on the Fonz.

@Rich Please change the thread title to "The Negative Defeatism Thread".

Keegans biggest failing was not upgrading our keeper. As much as I loved Pav, I dont think he won many points, if any, for the team.

GBNews starting a sports segment?

Shite result. Pro's: Fitness levels are a lot better Cons: Maybe they focused so much on fitness that they forgot attacking movement?

Happy days... https://www.change.org/p/change-the-name-of-the-metro-to-the-mitro

Yeah but can he leap like a Gazelle?

Why does the surname ten Hag have the ten in lower case? The dutch have some great names - anyone remember Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink? and the back of his shirt??

I dont think its actually been released as to why hes been admitted other than for tests.
