Home to a beatable side so we can have a look at broader squad (come on there must be one or two clubs we could beat….)

Didn't Enzo say he wanted a meeting to suggest re-structuring behind the scenes, shortly before he left? His opinion seemed to be that we weren't (aren't) properly set up to compete in the Premier League without it happening or that we'd at least have a better chance and better future. I'm sure I didn't dream this but it seems to have been swept under the carpet and Cooper was hardly in a strong enough position to make similar requests or suggestions.

You’re right, it will be different and some will benefit and come to the fore. The cliche of a fresh start or “new eyes” seeing something crapper, sorry Cooper, couldn’t. If we’re lacking leaders then Coady may be required, if we lack creativity then why continue to leave creative players on the bench, particularly with Fatawu missing.

“In days of yonder past I was once the manager of Leicester City. The mother in law said my team selection was BLANK or BLANKS….”

Anyone know where I can get a tattoo removed ?

Before Leicestershire runs out of persil due to bed wetting epidemic consider:- A) We have a big match tomorrow, that's the focus for the next 24 hours. Long term future is crucial yes but why divert focus and concentration. B) The people in place to manage and coach us tomorrow may have no future here, which may be made obvious by the list of appointments, they don't really want removing before tomorrow, it would leave Filbert & Birch to pick the....actually that sounds better than Cooper C) The new coaches coming in are real people. They need to have their appointments negotiated, agreed, discussed with family, pack some pants and toothpaste etc. D) Fazzyfox.com needs more time to order stocks of Dutch Orange facepaint and balloons to flog in the Kings Head E) It has been daytime. If you were showing someone the City Centre for the first time you'd wait til it's dark, looks so much better / less crap. F) Top, Rudders and Whelan are loving the banter on this thread and want it to continue.

We're signing Bruno Fernandes too?

Keen to see what he makes of Alves, a case of fresh eyes on him, we’re a flair player down (2 when we play Brighton) and a busy schedule coming up. A lot to ask but we could do with a wild card, another option. Maybe, just maybe, Ruud can bring some composure to Daka’s finishing. What will his view on Vestergaard be, what will the CB pecking order be? Will he continue the use of Wilf as an AM winning the ball higher or will he prefer players who are capable of shooting on target. Will he be more pro-active in affecting the game with his substitutions, give the opposition something new to think about and fresh legs to contain? All of this and more to be revealed……

What, the bald detective who likes Lollipops?

We’re continental now, 11 technically gifted players comfortable in all positions, shouldn’t take more than 2 days to get to that level of cohesion

An interesting out of work candidate has rocked up at Seagrave, says he has been studying the styles and image of Pep and promises an exciting modern fluent style of football whilst looking cool and suave (but still utilising Bobby Decordova Reid)

Re why would Top mention it will be a manager who is unattached - Maybe one of them queried whether doing this (recruiting) would tip us over into ffp problems and points deductions? Or just "Can we afford to be doing this" or "I thought we didn't have any money to spend"?

Karanka? How will we be able to make up a song that rhymes with that

Punsters praying for it to be Fischer. Banter will be off the scale.

Looks like he fell down the stairs on his way off the plane....

Speaking of riddles, here's one from the summer manager search thread:- Posted 14 June The current situation in short - If you wanna pick a Potter while Potter picks a club, you wanna be a Potter picker before another club, if that club's a Potter picker and Potter picks it too, then you better have a picker who can pocket Potter for you.

I see the Hamburg manager was sacked just around 3 days ago, meaning if we'd sacked Cooper earlier, in the International break, they would not have been in competition with us for Ruud (if that is the case).

We need a new fax machine and are reluctant to pay full price for it

I think traditionally (be it us or other clubs) if he's here for Thursday training it would possibly be him but if only joining in time for Friday they would leave the Caretaker manager to manage it and watch from the stands.

Just seen them take a Horlicks and some Werthers originals into the boardroom..........our long term vision is....... Hodgson He says it will be twicky to avoid welegation but he will twy.

Hermansen Justin (or Filbert Fox - no other options?) Vestegaard Okoli Kristenson Skipp Ndidi Buonanotte El Khannouss Mavididi Vardy Ayew & Daka on for Mavididi & Vardy for last 20 / 25 minutes at least (looking at you Mr "They've paid a fortune to watch so let's have a go for three minutes in added time" Cooper) Faes left out so he realises his name isn't rubberstamped on the team sheet, he has to stay focused to keep his place and earn it. In reality it won't be this, Soumare will be in for his relaxing Saturday afternoon stroll around, Wilf will be AM and El Khannouss probably left out or MacAteer RW, Buonanotte AM. And Faes will start.

Lee Carsley? Who started his career at Derby? Come to this City of pitchfork wielding anti Derby / Forest-ites (according to Cooper/media)? A few defeats and itl'l be Baah-rsley Out! Like a lamb to the slaughter he'll be for the chop in no time, even if your mint source tells you otherwise!

There's who you would want and who you think the club will choose which can be two different things. I'd like Corberan but I think it'll be Carrick.
