bulivye Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 what bugs me most is that Mike Ashley could, at any time, save the whole thing & be a hero by just making some very simple albeit expensive decisions. or have i got it hopelessly wrong/naive?

Not really, it wouldn't even be that much more expensive than now. Mainly he just needs a chairman who knows what he's doing, that would cost under £1m a year, if that.

Wullie Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Chris Sutton was desperately pleading for Harry Redknapp to get the job on 5Live last night. As more and more clubs realise that these British dinosaurs aren't actually the best option (take a look at the top ten, only Mark Hughes has had more than one job in England before their current one and he's the only British manager amongst them), we'll see even more of their mates in the media trying to get them work. Given the recent performances of Bilic, Flores, Koeman and Pochettino, any vaguely ambitious Premier League club would be mad to go searching through the pile of British losers in the bin instead of looking abroad. That's not to say there aren't promising British managers (Eddie Howe has worked miracles) but I'm hoping the tendency for real clubs to look for "Premier League experience" is over. The requirement is a myth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We are s***. Hope we get relegated. Genuinely hate our club now. Aye, go down and everything will be great. Not. It's absolutely gash when we're in the premier league we're a fucking embarrassing mess and have been for years and years. Get rid of us and football would be better off.

Nobody Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Stuart Pearce on Talk Sport thinks we should stick with McClaren. If not bring in Rednapp as a quick fix Did he give an actual reason for sticking with McClaren or was it just the usual old boys network in action? The media were quick to get Moyes forced out of Man U but are happy for us to do nothing. "i don't like to see managers get sacked" was his argument . Not surprising given he was binned off for being garbage at his last job. Ironically, we are probably his best chance of becoming a manager again.

The requirement is a myth. British managers imo are about a decade/two decades behind the cutting edge thinking with reg to training, preparation and tactics. The high intensity hustle and bustle of the PL hasn't helped matters. Think it's fair to note that Mark Hughes has played abroad and has at least had some kind of insight into wider philosophies.

Ketsbaia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I refuse to believe Rafa would touch us right now. From Ronaldo to Colback in just a few months? In other news, HURRY THE FUCK UP!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe has worked wonders at Bournemouth which makes it all the more surprising that he didn't do it at Burnley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What about McClaren btw. He must clearly know the club doesn't want him and is possibly talking to other managers, yet he just rocks up at training to coach a bunch of players who also quite clearly don't want him, to prepare us for a game where he will be booed by fans who also don't want him. And I thought Pardew had thick skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Apparently Motson (i know) was on 5live saying he had been led to believe Rafa was lined up for the job. I wasn't listening so have no idea. It's obvs bollocks, f*** it all. The bloke's barely allowed outside of London these days. I wouldn't believe him.

Just make it happen ffs. What the fuck is "suggested some form of sounding out"? Sending out smoke circles to see if he could spot them from his garden?
