STUHILL

I think there was a majority happy with RVN at the time... Positivity will last about 5 games if he starts poorly. I think Rohl, like RVN was, is favoured because there is still a lot unknown about him and as fans, we fill in those unknowns with a lot of hope. I'd prefer someone who has a history of getting promoted, as I think if we dwell in the Championship for more than 1 or 2 seasons, then we may be stuck down here for a years. I will support him though and hope he has the impact Maresca did, as his unknowns were filled with genuine success.

Don't you have to get permission to talk to a Manager before entering agreements?

Latest theory is that RVN is due to go July 1st with Dyche lined up, hence why it has been pretty quiet on all fronts. Dyche will get us promoted, but it won’t be pretty.

They would have announced this already if he was staying. He will be gone as soon as we pass this dumb accounting deadline.

I actually think Dyche would turn us down. He will pick up a Premier League job around December and not have to deal with the mess we have become. I suspect we will end up with a very dull appointment that is out of work and grateful to get this opportunity.. i.e Carrick

So people are keen on Brian Barry Murphy because there is barely any Managerial experience to pull him apart on? Apart from getting Rochdale relegated to League 2? Gotcha

as ridiculous as that sounds, it is probably true. What a mess of a club we have become.

Carrick? Oh dear. He will keep us a Championship side for as long as he is here. Completely mediocre in everything he does.

That's my point. The opposition in the Championship are a big drop from the Premier League, and so even players like Vestergaard look decent. I think as long as we keep hold of the core of our squad and add a striker and pair of CB's, then we should really be pushing for a top 4 finish.

Top and Rudkin

This dude will go on loan to some random club in Europe. Weird signing.

I genuinely forgot he existed the last few months. What an absolute shambles of a signing.

How much did he cost? ... I know. Just wanted to laugh/cry again.

He is a brilliant Championship midfielder, but I wonder if he has burned that bridge already and we are best taking what we can get for him. I'd be happy either way to be honest. We have bigger issues at CB and desperately need a striker.

Expect he will be sacked this week, unless there is some dumb financial reason for keeping him on until a certain date.

Despite all the negativity, do you think he will get us promoted though? I want out this division first, and he did that only 12 months ago, and I actually thought Leeds were a better squad than yours, along with ours. Ipswich were the slight surprise but fully deserved. Personally, despite his style, I think he will still get the players on board quickly, as they all seemed to like Enzo's approach. I also think many forget how poor the Championship is, and so we will likely still have one of the best starting 11's once we clear out some deadwood and sign a striker and some CBs. I am saying this as it is almost inevitable he is coming, not because I am advocating for it. He must have got some things right to have a 25 game unbeaten streak and get you promoted with the 3rd highest goals scored etc.

Must admit, I thought this would have been a better signing than it has turned out to be. He has been pretty pants throughout. Seems like a popular player and has leadership qualities, but I don't even want him in the Championship. I can't think of anything he does well on the pitch. He can go along with Faes and Vestergaard. Give Okoli a chance with Nelson, and bring in two more CB's in the window. Not sure on Souttar though, maybe if we struggle to get the other two in.

Sounds like he is staying. Please stay fit. If so, will be brilliant in the Championship. We need to sort out our CB's though.

Can see him Managing us one day. He always says that he will be back.

Forest too? I keep waiting for their spending to catch up with them.

The mood would have stayed on a high at least. I think him leaving and Cooper coming in, killed any momentum we had from winning the Championship. The players also went from a style they had bought into, to Cooper ball, which didn't seem to be much of anything. I still think the gap would have been too much though, and people forget how many fans were already turning against him during our wobble towards the end of the Championship season. I think fans would have been very quick to turn on him. He just wouldn't have had a high enough quality of players to make his system work for us against most Premier League teams. I think he is doing well at Chelsea, but they need to be pushing for the title next year and win a Cup to show he is the real deal, due to how much Chelsea have spent and the young talent they have. I think he can do both, but a title push seems less likely yet due to Liverpool improving and Man City maybe getting their mojo back. The future looks good though and they will likely only get better under him.

He will be one of the best players in the Championship if we can keep hold of him. He is one of the players I think we should sell others to try and keep. I suspect he may push for a move though and there will be buyers.

I will be surprised if we aren't top 4. The Championship is terrible. People forget that our crappy players like Faes and Vestergaard looked like Puyol and Maldini down there. Sheffield United will lose some players. Ipswich will be up there, as well as Southampton. Don't see many others being stronger than us. If we don't get promotion next year though, then we really are in danger of being stuck down there.

Ohhh you love to see it

really? Not seen anyone say they want him. A handful saying he may still get us promoted though. He seems a overwhelmingly unpopular choice. He will need a very good start, as it will get very toxic if not.
