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!!

With probably the worst squad in league 2 with the smallest budget - we are in league one so we either get some has been or someone with potential - personally could buy into an ex-Leicester connection but more importantly he is bright and a winner - he will go on to have an exceptional management career if he puts his mind to it. His businesses are a success and he is ambitious - perfect mixture plus as an member of our greatest team he gains instant respect plus he is smart enough to deal with JR and Top plus the fans will get behind him generally ……no brainier for me!!!

He’s very smart and will if he wants to be a top manager - I would rather take someone who sets high standards, has respect as a winner and will know the club. I don’t think Richie Wellens will have the career that Fuchs will and even though Fuchs needs more experience where better than rebuilding our club in league 1 - he has done a truly remarkable job with no resources at Newport and given access to even this shit show will have the where with all to start setting standards. i for one would get behind Fuchs and he would be the most exciting appointment for manager in the past 3 years !!

I think sadly like an awful lot of fans the reality will hit in the coming days and weeks - this is beyond KP capability or resources and it will become evident very quickly. When the club went into administration many years ago it was due to never having the right base or backing - our club has created huge huge debts with pure incompetence and now it’s probably beyond KP - I fear for the future of OUR club ……..really really sad day but been coming for about 4-5 years - if you take the different key themes that are in the the different topics in here you have the essence of the various issues but they have never been managed and dealt with and sadly KP have to be answerable for all of it!

Steve that’s really sad as I like you have had a season ticket for over 45 years - I do not love locally anymore and it’s the only time I see my family but it’s become painful. Top and JR really have got a lot to answer for - we never expected the trophies but neither did we expect this absolute mess. Disgraceful and so many fans feel more disconnected than ever!

I think you’re being very harsh on Riccy - no doubt his legs have gone and he is definitely not good enough to be first choice. In terms of leadership I think the issues run really deep inside that dressing room with egos and toxicity beyond his capability to fix. when it all comes out I think none of us will be shocked but appalled that it got to this and it started under Rodgers with him imo and his big ego and over inflated opinions which was passed onto some bang average players but now exists in really poor ones and some youngsters too !!

And go down again with that team

He cannot pick Okoli and Nelson the need a rest and if Vesty and Lascelles are fit enough they should start with Skipp in front to break the game up - if Begovic is fit he has to come in too. we need a backbone or spine that can show leadership - it’s the only way we have any chance of surviving.

Sadly it was not JJ it’s something about the environment that’s been allowed to fester - JJ was and is a really good pro and like lots of players we have had suddenly look decent when they exit!! we need a complete reset and at least this summer lots of players leave but behind the scenes is as worrying with a complete inept leadership team

Feel for the lad tbh as being thrust into this pile of crap is unfair on any youngster - all of the youngsters are struggling and it’s because the base of the team is so weak - normally blooding youngsters into a team with a strong spine and leadership is less risky but these lads are being asked to jobs that there not ready for. Is he good enough I am not so sure but to be a centre half so young when he has not physically matured is tough. For me I would rest him , dump Okoli completely who is a car crash and build the spine with Vesty and Lascelles !

We need to be realistic and if he manages to keep this shower up he deserves a medal. He walked into a proper mess and be it goal difference or points if he keeps this team up he deserves serious consideration - he knows the club, brought a coach who similarly knows the club and has already simplified with a basic structure with work ethic. We have not had that for the past 4 managers and he will want this job not for money but for what he could achieve as he knows the potential. He will have worked out by the season end what is needed to get us competitive next season and be able to implement it quickly - for me already I would rather have GR than any of the previous 4 managers we had.
