New Manager Search *BACK ON*

[jd1981]

Anyone got a picture of that away end at Keniworth Road like to get myself familiar with next seasons travels.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I’d be tempted to see if AVB is interested or make Emrey an offer he can’t refuse.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Martins getting a lot of hate on twitter! Based on nothing other than he's Portuguese and unemployed and not Lopetegui. His style of play is more attacking and probably more suited to our squad. Twitter making out like we've approached Steve Bruce

I've said a few times I wouldn't be disappointed with Martins.

He'll keep us up in the short term.

Hopefully the idiot CEO sees sense and employs a DoF like Monchi and let's them do the football stuff. Far more chance of getting your targets if there's a competent management team in place.

It's not who is, it's what he is and what he represents. That's enough for me to not want him, although if it HAS to be a Mendes coronation then there is a reason to have hope, but we are selling ourselves short again in terms of options

I don't think we have a choice, we have an over promoted youth coach or a clueless idiot if we don't have input from Mendes.

Same would've been true of Lopetegui wouldn't it?

 

[Tony Towner]

Same would've been true of Lopetegui wouldn't it?

Yep and I said as much, although I thought Lopetegui was more of a risk but with probably a higher ceiling as posted on Sunday morning when I did pros and cons

 

[Lupollet]

Utter shambles. Embarrassment. Time for humble pie. Nuno’s coming home!

 

[ROVERT47]

Might be a bullet dodged, he looks shot lately, got his Fathers problems on his mind.
Just googled that Bo Svenson fella he looks half decent.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It won't not be a Mendes client though will it?

 

[ROVERT47]

Hmm, quite, Mendes got us Zenga last time it went tits up, maybe time to cut the links.

 

[HanDoJin]

Martins Olympiakos played some cracking football, really enterprising stuff in the Europa League. Their games v Arsenal were superb

Svensson ain’t leaving Mainz except for a kings ransom, he’s wedded to both team and city

AVB would probably be a really good appointment til the end of the season

Was thinking the same. Poor guy looks spent

Not sure our Squad is suited to attacking play myself.

 

[prawnking]

This was obvious the more it dragged on, same MO as our previous failed 'top target' player chases.

'He wouldn't turn us down again!'

 

[Del Woppio]

We should've known whether Lopetegui wanted the job or not before the Dortmund game, instead we've probably heard a no but wasted a week textign 'you sure m8' every half hour. Lage needed to be replaced by an actual football manager that actively wanted the job by Tuesday. I don't think shi really understands the that the ppg increase that will be needed if we get 4/5 of the next 15 will basically need to be top 8 form from day dot to stay up. Because he's a fucking dick and ho understands fuck all about football

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Fuck me we have some amount of board members on here.
No one knows what the fuck went con. Maybe JL said yeah need a week with family come see me lets chat, spends time with said dad and now decides its not the time i am not ready.

Lets appoint steve Bruce or Dyche just because they are English and not linked to Mendez, or may be just may be wait and see who we appoint then in good Forum style make your mind up. I dont give a flying fuck who, what, or fucking where he comes from if he gets wins

 

[prawnking]

wait and see

I think most of us feel Jeff and Fosun have just about used up all their 'wait and see's by now

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Perhaps Shi should give Brighton a call and see who else was on their shortlist. I trust their board to have conducted a more thorough search than Mendes and Shi will. Oh and don’t wait a fucking week to do it.
