I think as long as you don't have the John Rudkin edition of AI, it will be fine.

That they will run an internal investigation as to why we are being run into the ground, identifying who is responsible then ACTUALLY holding them responsible?! At this point it really doesn't matter who our manager will be. You don't put new curtains up when your house is on fire. You put the fire out. The people who are running our club are the fire and Top is too busy running around with a gerry-can of unleaded to give any indication that he plans on doing anything about it.

Your super computer is drunk.

I wonder if the boat has already sailed to sign Lennon Miller. Apparently would cost about 7m to sign, plenty of competition around Europe and a risk for an 18 year old but looks to have a very bright career and has already been in the Scotland squad at 18 in our strongest area of the pitch.

Whoever our manager is, they need to use the potential points deduction to their advantage. It's the perfect thing to create a siege mentality. Us against them. Everyone is out to get us, let's prove them wrong type of thing. This is the sort of thing that Pearson was brilliant at and we know first hand how effective it can be.

Zidane, Simeone, Kompany (kinda), Thiago Motta, Guardiola... Obviously I could go further back but that would be too easy. I assumed you meant recent players.

Ah.... now I see the issue. You still have faith in our owners!

You're telling me that a young, big name with experience managing in the UK who looks to play possession football isn't exactly the profile our owners look for?

I said it months ago and have become more and more convinced that it'll be Gerard.

I can completely understand that but no other form of protest works. If people are buying season tickets and their generic kits emblazoned with their soulless sponsor, they don't cate what we chant or post online because they still bring in money.

I think his experience could be vital next year if you consider a team of Thomas, Okoli, Nelson, Skipp, Fatawu, BEK, Alves, Jakub, Mcateer, Monga, Evans etc. He is one of the only ecperiences players who are good enough to get into the starting 11.

The people who make our signings SHOULD have more informed opinions than that of opposition fans. They should know if they are going to be played in the system that saw the form that lead to us signing them OR if they could play in the system we would have them playing... Neither of those were the case for Daka and Soumare.

They called him a "Tofu tadger!" Lol!

So you think that Martin for free was our first choice but now that's fallen through, we will spunk 5m on Rohl? It'll be Dyche, O'Neil, Cleverly or Gerard.

Gary O'Neil, Sean Dyche, Tom Cleverly or Steven Gerard are my bets.

Not to put a dampener on things lads but, IF Russell Martin was our boards FIRST pick.....WTF is our SECOND?!

Like we did with KDH....

He's got mid table LaLiga written all over him. Valencia. Bets, Vigo, Mallorca, Girona etc...

It was in 2018...

It'll be Angus Gunn. I'm sure of it.

Yep. Thos guy and Richard Kone would be ideal.

He's NOT a "barnacle on the side of a sinking ship." He's one of the holes.

Problem here is I'm not really sure what it is you're looking for then.... between the 3, we have 2 young managers and one older head. All have experience in the league, two of them with promotion from it. One plays attacking, adaptive football with quick counters. One plays possession, slow, patient football and One plays defensive practical football. They are all at the level we can attract so what is it you're looking for because I'm struggling to see who you think we can realistically get that can offer us more than what these 3 do, depending on what kind of football you want us to play.

Hopefully it's because we still haven't found our new DOF. This would be the only acceptable reason for this newest clown show.

Top would. At least until he sold us. You don't get to just walk away from bills... I've tried.
