Harrogate away

I still believe in a chunk of this squad. It looks bleak right now with the added injuries to a crucial player like Fatawu + a few others but I think we can get to 35-40 points.

Lovely bloke

The overwhelming thing i hear from players and coaches is RvN is very good at improving players. That's a massive positive. Really hope he can get some semblance of sanity from this club to build something here.

Skipp has the ability to do that but we don't play him.

Hermansen Justin Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Skipp Ndidi Bounanotte El Khannouss Mavididi Vardy

That's class pal, I'm 41 and I've had only x 2 5km runs below 23 mins this year. Smashing it mate.

I like 3-4-2-1 but surely that's El Khannouss and Bounanotte together. Suppose that can happen off the bench. Thomas in is a brave call 😂

Championed Enzo and Mavididi too so I've broken the curse. I'm very good with managers, identified Slot in 2019 and knew Alonso was going to be the bollocks. I'M BACK

Can't stop looking at pictures and videos of him.

That didn't go well, listened to my body and pulled the plug at 5 miles. Felt something go.

Just heading out now for a 10 miler

And Ruud helped serve a few excellent players through the academy and reserve team.

I'd counter the PSV improved after he left bit with the fact his successor benefitted from being able to spend a chunk of the funds they got from selling Madueke and Gakpo, as well as inheriting Bakayoko who's had a year developing under Ruud to kick on in his 2nd season. They were bang in the mix for the title until those mid season sales.

Based on graphic design alone, I can smell the suaveness from here.

Stand by 🚨🚨🚨

Suppose the only difference was Percy has said its Ruud, where as in the summer everyone else was saying it was Potter and then he broke it was going to be Cooper.

Can see us going after Harry Amass from Man Utd in January.

Do not be surprised if this isn't announced until after the Brentford game.

Not sure but the media weren't expecting it today and think tomorrow more likely (not sure if that's changed)

Was told this morning it's unlikely this will be announced today. Knowing us it'll rumble on a few days.

Didn't someone on here mention Darren Fletcher?

Whilst I can see why some fans take this view, there surely has to be the possibility that vastly talented coaches/managers at the start of their career have something about them that convinces clubs to take the high risk high reward chance. It was as clear as day after just a year or so of Arne Slot at AZ Alkmaar how good he was going to be (I called it) and likewise Xabi Alonso (I called it) from the glowing praise he got by all and sundry when he started out at Sociedad's B team. Whilst for every Slot and Alonso there's a Gerrard and Lampard, there's also clubs like us giving perceived proven managers a go who've an armpit full of failures and seemingly so stubborn to utilise the exact same methods that got them the sack previously too. It's a risk but I prefer these types (Enzo) than going for someone like Moyes or dare I say it even Potter who I can't bare.

I'm on the Ruud Van Guinnesstelrooy's as we spaaaake
