In the interview he says that if he changed the style it would have sent the wrong message to the players I.e you’re good enough to play like this in the championship but not in the PL. he stated that his squad was weaker in the PL than it was in the championship (some might say the same for us) and that he overthought it too much and tried to adapt his style in certain games without success. Essentially there is nothing wrong with the style, the players just weren’t of a high enough standard.

I didn’t want to but it’s kind of hard to having listened to that. He took ownership for what went wrong this season and signposted things he would have done differently. Comparing that to Ruud who is putting it on the players it was refreshing to hear. We could do an awful lot worse.

Listened to it this morning, found it very interesting. i would 100% take him over RVN and get the feeling as if he could talk himself into the job. Sounds obvious, but our next appointment will be determined by who applies. He could end up being the best available option - especially considering he’s without a club now.

It will come out that it’s all severance related and never get a manager job again. Destined for working as a pundit on Dutch telly.

I sense a frosty conference today, seems to be suffering under pressure. Hopefully the journos press him on some of the questions he dodged on Monday night

We should stick him in front of the back 4 to dictate play. Need to do whatever needs doing to prolong his career

Had a huge impact. We’ll never know how well KDH would have done and if Enzo was in charge we would not have signed the dross that we did.

Thought he did really well considering what he was being thrown in to. Wanted the ball and was positive. Next season seems the ideal opportunity to bed him in alongside Fatawu’s recovery.

He knows the game is up so he’s given up caring/trying. As soon as relegation is confirmed we can get rid and move on.

I would side with Coady purely for Nelson’s development. With a hectic fixture schedule I’m sure they would all get good game time

I was impressed with him on the MNF a little while back. This experience has appeared to humble him and he was very open to the fact that he was naive and made mistakes. If it was him, and he was able to combine the fluid attacking style with a most risk adverse defensive structure it wouldn’t be the worst move we could make

For next season I’d be happy with Nelson and Coady starting with Souttar and Darling from Swansea (available on a free to challenge) Sell Faes, release Vestergaard (if no-one will pay a nominal fee) and loan Okoli back to Italy

He turned his back on playing for England yet thinks a manager leaving Celtic for an (at the time) ambitious PL club is wrong. Strange bloke.

Hermansen Justin Coady Okoli Coulibaly Skipp Ricardo Thomas El Khannous Ayew Mavididi Not joking.

I was more talking severity

Any idea why he’s withdrawn from international duty?

My guess is that he’ll be gone one way or another once we are in a new financial year. Pretty sure the worst year (PSR wise) will no longer be counted after this season. Hopefully he will agree a mutual termination to save face and save us a few quid. Whatever happens he is not the right man to take us forward and I hope and pray that the decision makers are already talking to potential replacements.

What we’re doing isn’t working so need RVN to try something different. I’d go with this - it can’t get any worse

I actually quite liked what Russell Martin was saying on MNF the other week. Basically said that not enough thought was put into the dark arts side of football and was naive in that he thought they could play the same way in this league. Good to hear he understands where he went wrong and hopefully he’s learnt from it

Utd are shite. sadly, our manager won’t think that and will convince the players they’ve lost before they reach the tunnel

Id go with: Mads Faes Coady Thomas Justin Ndidi Winks Coulibaly Bilal Vardy Mavididi

Does Ruud get the boot if we get a good hiding?

This. As we should recall from last season, Enzos teams are vulnerable on the break. I would play Mavididi, Daka and Bilal at top end and add an extra body at the back

When we go down, we need to focus on losing as many high earners as possible before using the loan system to replace them. Regardless of who we lose/sign this summer, if we come back up there would need to be a complete rebuild again. Filling the gaps with loans makes the most logical sense. You would like to think with our contacts at Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea we could borrow some highly rated youngsters for a season.
