When we were in the second tier of English football...

We are not in the same position as Brighton. We can not be gambling on a coach that's only ever managed in the second tier of German football.

Lewis Morgan. Added to the squad now too. Makes a bit more sense. We don't play wingers but we have an option for each side if we need it. He is in good form in the MLS too.

I'm not convinced by his record which is all I've really got to do on as I barely watched Forest under him and yes, I've had a few joking potshots at the fact he looks like he'd hang around parks looking to by teenagers booze and spend the rest of the night trying to be pals with them because all his old mates have moved on with families and he's lonely BUT I do think some of the reactions on here are WAYYY OTT!

If we get relegated, there is absolutely no chance that the board won't stick the blame onto the manager and sack them. What else are they going to do? Accept responsibility for the mess they've put us in?

Think I'm more excited by Tommy Conway being in the squad than I was for Ben Doak. We need to unearth a prolific goalscorer and this lad has the chance to nail that spot down.

Didn't he turn the entire squad against him in doing so? That's why he left, none of the players wanted to play for him.

I'm sure if the name they mentioned suited people's opinions more, it would have done. Hear what we want to hear!

No, it wasn't. Stop talking crap. You specifically said on numerous occasions that the club were talking with MON and even made comments about how people should thank you for your info. MON has since come out and said he was never in any contact with anyone at the club about taking over. I don't get what you gain from talking nonsense.

Two of the teams that were relegated this year would have stayed up in that 2013/14 season. Two of the teams that made the playoffs that year would have missed out last season and Burnley who were promoted automatically with 93 pts that season would have finished third this time around. I think you're suffering from a bout of nostalgia.

When was Dembele switched to CM? He was always a winger up here with Celtic.

Right? I said I thought about him when I was thinking of who the club could go for that would suprise us. I didn't say I was his fvcking BFF or that I wanted him here.

I was actually thinking about OGS when I was considering who a left field appointment could be.

Yeah but it's not like this has come out the blue! We've had a week to sound out candidates... another week to interview and get one in is plenty, I feel.

He took a Swedish 4th division team to the knockout stages of the Europa League, finished 5th in their tip tier and won a cup all in 7 seasons. Say what you wasn't about how it translates to the PL but you can't say it's not impressive.

Take it! Ol' lefty is a dud anyway!

"Perfect grasp of the beauty of the English language" is a bold statement regarding someone who learned English in Glasgow.

"One good season on English football" is a stretch. He took over at Brighton, kept them up for two seasons, setting their PL points tally consecutively, stabilised them then pushed them into mid-table. That's 3 good seasons by the standards he was working at, at the time. I'd be absolutely delighted with a repeat of that here.

The only time I pay any attention to the odds is when they start rapidly shortening on a name with no or few media links that hasn't been mentioned all that much. That means money is being put on someone that no one is talking about publicly and that makes me question who is putting the money on it and why. But apart from that, I agree with you. Odds don't usually mean much.

It's cute that he thinks he'll get a game at the Euro's!

Elland Rd OBVIOUSLY!!

I wouldn't be so sure mate... this is eerily similair to were I was in life back then. I won't go into too much detail as we're already looking at the prospect of Cooper at the KP so i don't want to make it worse but during THAT season I was in a very bad place and had mentaly checked out but as silly as it sounds, didn't want to miss what happened each weekend so held off week after week. Not long after that, I met my now wife, have a daughter and two step kids and life is good.... well apart from the aforementioned Steve Cooper situation.

Because it easier to be pleasantly surprised than to have your heart broken by John fvcking Rudkin and his sh!te mates.

Why wouldn't we be a stepping stone for an experienced PL manager too? If a bigger and better team come in, the manager will generally go regardless of were they've managed before.

...but alternatively, we can now go and get Cooper who looks like he'd sit next to you on the bus even though all the other seats are available!
