Beth Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) 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?

The Bonk Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 13 minutes ago, David Edgar said: We fucking better not be asking Harry Redknapp for advice He’s most likely filled out an “manager appointment dossier” with an invoice for “services rendered” at the bottom. Also remember him sitting in a Rover similar to Bruce’s back when he got stitched up. Is it a requirement of the PFM mandate? 🧐 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It has nothing to do with the £670 I will win but I would love it to be Ten Hag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It's easy to imagine DOF/manager pairings based on the names we've been linked to. Campos/Fonesca, Rangnick/Favre, Overmars/Ten Haag. All three would be brilliant, let's face it. But in the case of Fonesca since he's the favourite, the 'risky' elements of his appointment would probably be offset by having such a good DOF arriving with him.

Also we should use the same standards for Bruce then, do you think he wanted Joelinton ? I do not know what you are trying to say here. Newcastle won the Championship and yes, Steve Bruce gave the go ahead for Joelinton and for a whole season played him as the main striker. The same Joelinton Rafa refused to sign.

Was gutted when he left and all but I’d rather a completely fresh setup. Going to agree here. We've had five years of watching 30% possession football, and I'm ready for a change. I watched the Everton game last week, and it was eerily familiar, Everton sitting back and allowing West Ham the lion's share of the ball. He'll get it right at Everton given a fair crack of the whip though, he's missing some key players at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won it thanks to a Jack Grealish fluke and that team was never allowed to dominate that league like it should. I'm sure rhe Joelinton deal was set up regardless of what Bruce wanted. We were told it was set up even when Rafa was here. Edited October 23, 2021 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Observations from today’s game, but it isn’t new and has been like this for the last two years. You guys could probably add to this as well: We can’t keep possession of the ball anywhere other than in the back line We can’t seem to pass more than three passes without giving it a way, panicking and kicking it long / losing it short or kicking it out of touch We can’t defend set pieces We can’t defend crosses We can’t stop crosses coming into the box from wide areas We can’t defend the long pass in behind We struggle with our offside line We can’t attack set pieces very well We don’t seem to work on corner or free kick routines We always seem to end up offering the opportunity of a quick counter attack where the opposition look more likely than we do to score from our own corner We always seem to lose the ball from our own throw-ins In fact, the only tactic we seem to have from throw-ins is a long throw and the guy who takes it can’t even throw it that long We are slow to react to everything so the press is always weak We are never as fit as the opposition we make the opposition look like Barcelona in their prime Whoever becomes the new manager has his work cut out big time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Rafa's not going to get sacked, Moshiri put his reputation on the line to go against popular feeling and hire him. He'll want to give him as long as possible to justify the decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
