And yet the love the bottom two

These two with Okoli and a newbie would be my preference, but we're probably stuck with Vestergaard. More than likely shifting Faes and Coady out, so every cloud..

I have a feeling it's Steven Gerrard

Rule him out then

Wrong thread

I think the club are (quite sensibly) keeping all options open. The likelihood is that they give Ruud the old tin tack, once they have his replacement lined up, and the financials are cheap enough to implement. If that plan should go tits up, they can stick with Ruud.

Ah, the old stigma attached vote of confidence

Exactly. Why on earth would we want to continue with him. Out.

100 percent correct. Could have easily been made a free standing gateway to the site. No vision.

Here’s a question designed to look at things from a different angle…. If you were say a Middlesbrough fan, looking for your next manager, how happy would you be to be linked with Ruud?

Yes they should. Completely different situation to us. They’ve just had two promotions and a relegation with McKenna. We’ve lost a million games in a row without scoring with Ruud

So we stick with a shite manager for a shite league. Sounds like a shite plan to me

Exactly. He is bobbins. Next…

Correct

Ruud is a bad bad manager. I don’t want him here anymore

Actually a good idea

But IF we are prepared to go for a manager that is currently employed, why go for Rohl? There are definitely better employed options than him!

Not this again. They are out there. I genuinely can’t be arsed to list them again. I do think people are underestimating our draw. Managers who are out of work really would want to come to manager us. Even under pressurised circumstances

No. A good one

I know what you’re saying. I think I agree. People may mock this next comment, but the main thing that puts me off Dyche is his win ratio. People will say ‘style of football’ or he ‘ doesn’t play the youth’ (Actually think he’d have no choice with us, as we have so many young uns)

I personally think we should swerve this guy. Why do we have to choose the hardest possible scenario to get this guy! Can’t we just employ one of the good free agent managers. Getting Rohl will bound to end up in some legal battle with Sheff Wed. Why do we always have to make such a meal of everything!

Obviously Kingy can stay. In fact, he can have a go on my missus, if he wants

If the finances were ‘that bad’ why didn’t we sell sell sell during the 10 day window which we’ve just come out of? I’m not suggesting things aren’t close when it comes to PSR but I genuinely don’t think it’s the case that we can’t afford to sack him, I just think it’ll be cheaper to sack him come July 1st. I also think that timeline isn’t actually too bad. Still plenty of time for a new man to sort things out imo

Based on what you’ve seen of Ruud ‘tactics’ and his team selections only, what makes you want to give the moron a pre season?
