He'll be sacked by mid Jan - bookmark this!

and that means fucking Jones stays. Great - so look forward to Richie and Fraser down the left wing whilst all the other teams attackers are scoring against us

Just a FARCE as I said before, we are down!

if Howe comes in I will support him. But he, the NUFC fans, opposing fans, MSM will know he wasn't 1st choice and I think the atmosphere at SJP will soon sink back to what it was before the last 2 home games.

Sorry, on 3rd pair already!

Obviously not as I had no hope then. Its the hope that kills you now!

FARCE, FARCE, FARCE Ive held off but I am having real concerns now if this doesn't go through. 1st there was win the PL in 5 years shit. and then the delay to sack Bruce and now this..........3 mistakes in 4 weeks We are sinking quick

Honestly - its moving into farce territory. Why is this being played out in the media - whoever leaked it yesterday needs to be fired!

Fuck off posting Edwards shit!

Exactly. If I was Emery I would be well pissed that this leaked before the game last night. Say nowt to no-one until its signed and done..

Thats it Im out! Will come back when an official announcement is made - can't be arse with cryptic breads and translating spanish tweets. Mind is scrambled!

Hold!

Glad someone can get through to the doctors

Got to be better than Bruce throwing the ball in the middle and saying 'let's play' the pissing off for a kebab

Yeah, we need to stop looking back (Rafa, Keegan) and look to the future!

sounds like my type of tent

agreed that's why I want Favre or Fonseca. I just can't get excited about a Lampard, Howe or Gerrard. Nuno is a left field if others dont come off

We are not going to get a Conte, Poch or Mourinho for the next 3 years. We need someone who can come in, organise us and get us into the top 10 consistently. At that point then we can go for it and get a top quality manager. We need a Favre, Fonseca or something like that. In fact if spurs beat us to the punch for Fonseca, I would go for Nuno but to be honest we should have our manager in before Spurs sack him. The next manager is important but its unlikely it will be the one that wins us trophies or is around for 5 years or more. They need to get on with it now and get the person in place so they are prepared and ready for 2 weeks intense training during the international break. If we reach the break and they haven't appointed anyone, then that is when concerns will mount for me. They have this week - please dont screw it up.

that telegraph article - absolutely nowt in it. Just throw in the names that have been mentioned and wrap some words around it! edit supertoon beat me to it!

why does it need to be an interim manager? If MSM as what this board seems to refer to - then Favre and Fonseca both want the role? Im sure this week the announcements will be made and then we can hopefully focus on the task in hand, which is a slow recovery (as if we have more than 13 points before Jan, I will be amazed). It is a dire situation but we are all assuming that we will not get anything off the top 6 sides late in season. Depends on how well the new manager does. We just have to be better than 2 teams now as Norwich will be relegated.

I think most people can accept that against Chelsea, its just that we set up that way against everybody. CP last week and Brighton next week if a new manager doesn't come in. If you dont shoot, you dont score. And if you dont score you dont win matches. Its that simple. NUFC had 1 shot on target in the whole game and that came in the 80+ minute. Id much prefer we went toe to toe with them and lost 3-6 rather and 0-3, at least it meant we had a go. At the rate we are going, one day the opposition will kick off and find we have all 11 players on the goal line for the whole game! (joke but you get my point)

Okay, Im not going to defend Caulkin, its just my opinion. MSM know jack shit so no need to get worked up with the articles they put out. Its the same with player transfers, its all bollocks!

Yeah, the guy that said Fonseca is unlikely and that it would be a quiet week on the managerial front last week and it was. Meanwhile the MSM were putting a different name each day in their articles. Caulkin at the moment seems to be able to get info from Amanda more than the others. For how long I dont know but as I said, ignore the press but if you can't, Caulkin is probably more intune with what is going on than the rest!

After all this time guys, the press know nothing, why can't you all see that? They will write anything to fill their quota/column inches. If you must take notice of the press, then take notice of Caulkin and the local press (except the bald shit), they seem to have a more direct line to Amanda that the those hacks down South. As an example you have Merson screaming 'whats the plan', its a valid question but a perfectly valid response is 'Why the fuck would the owners tell you, you washed up drunk'? Hopefully they will announce a Sporting Director and Manager this week, and the Steves will be jettisoned. Graeme may be around till the end of the season.

So Mandy has had a real baptism of fire and those that said get rid of the old regime on day 1 were perhaps right. If they bring in Martinez and keeps Jones then I think we will go down as it just going to be more of the same. A new manager and new coaches need to be brought and all the old ones gone. Keeping Jones I dont agree with. This group of players need a total new broom, they need discipline and they need a system that the management believe in. Jones its clear doesn't believe in changing the style of play of 20% possession football. Get rid of the lot and in January start to do the same with the players. Many have been here far too long and are just championship material!
