Old Fox

He will be well suited to derbies against AEK and Olympiakos - big tough left back he is !

Personally I am quite glad he has told the fookers to run a bit - it maybe bloody obvious but I think since the last season under Rodgers the basics in the football club have been missing and never mentioned. Like many I wanted anyone but RM however now he’s here he will get my support like all managers from the off as it’s our club - I don’t want him to fail I want him to be a roaring success get us back up at least and get us a team to be proud of - he has a chance as I am sure this preseason we will have a complete squad reset and blooding a mix of youngsters who are ready with some new signings will feel like a breath of fresh air - maybe I am being too optimistic but the club and RM are at the last chance saloon so we will see!!

It’s not waffle but 💩

I completely agree on lessons learned and the capability in the board room concerns me however the constant referring by fans to administration is misguided - if he was to put the club into administration he would be both giving up and writing off £m’s - Top will not do that willingly and he will need a reset financially without jeopardising his ownership which is something he feels passionately about - irrespective of his ability!

Yes a completely arrogant so and so without the ability and I disliked BR but this guy is proper marmite !!

He’s 40 ! How young do you want ? Seriously I would rather have had Fuchs tbh and take your point - I really don’t like the idea of RM but if he wants to be a manager this job is probably his last chance to make it work - it’s got huge success or car crash written all over it !

Both quality leaders will help get you back first time and be great squad players when your back up!

Far more likely to go now - we are and are seen in football as being a mess and he has had enough experience to get a move to a championship or maybe a newly promoted prem side. I know he has stunk the place out with his attitude but he still has enough to get a move - hopeful we will get rid of this leech this preseason !

You have had a bit of a nightmare here - Bristol is five times the size and has a massive catchment in the SW - if they ever get their act together they could be a force !

£20m minimum

Any chance that Man City get relegated two divisions and we escape a relegation saving us and West Ham ? the penalties on city are imminent - pep leaving - Enzo in - saves the embarrassment of PG having to resign after City lied to him - Enzo has the youngsters as all the stars go on loan for a year or two whilst City comeback…..maybe it’s my imagination but hammering Southampton maybe a precursor to getting at City……. i know it’s a pipe dream

He is clearly exceptionally talented on the ball - work rate and physicality etc as you said will come as he is 16!!! It’s a shame that he looks a bit ruined by the environment and must be hard for any 16 year old if you do not have the right role models and discipline around them - he needs confidence but not arrogance and I sense a few of the youngsters have got that. He may go on to be a superstar but sadly if you were advising him with huge clubs circling he needs an environment to develop - I like you find it baffling fans cannot see that the environment is not developing the youngsters hence judging them is unfair !!

Based upon what ? I am not being difficult I just do not see it - very few 16 year olds make the transition at such a young age and I know it’s a sh*t show at seagrave but when I have seen him ressies and first team he looks okay but no more plus his work ethic is poor for someone so young……genuinely hope your right and maybe you know more than me?

Disagree completely as it’s not comparable - Kingy has limited experience and none as a manager. Fuchs has been coaching for a few years and has just saved a league 2 side with no resources, changed the culture, team spirit and results. we are league one and need to be realistic plus there are internal issues - Fuchs is also successful outside football and he is bright, good communicator and knows the club. i would rather take him over most of the names being mentioned here not just because he is an ex-player but because his characteristics suggest he will go on to be a top manager ! Who would have said that Andrews would step up at Brentford - well he is similarly a bright and excellent communicator - I know the situations and clubs are not comparable but CF is a better bet than most managers being linked or mentioned here imo

We are not attracting a Martin O’Neill or Nigel Pearson sadly and we will be taking a punt no matter who we go for imo. I would rather have someone who has the brains, knows the environment which includes the challenges and is a winner - I just want someone who we can all get behind and has enough credibility or nouse to manage up the line - if you have met Fuchs you will know he has all of these qualities - inexperienced maybe although done some grounding at Charlotte and Newport. All I am saying is that most fans would get behind this appointment which based upon the last 4 or 5 would be a positive step!!
