Ok this is the sort of exotic nonsense I can get behind. Never heard of him but a bloody Spaniard! Get in! Sexy football here we come.

I think we'd all be happy with this TBF

Then let's go get Phil Scolari, bring back a load of old Brazilians from retirement and play some Samba football. Just bored of being bored at this point.

If it's him I'll give him a chance. Would love some unheard of manager from the other side of the globe to turn up unexpectedly, just got something interesting to happen as much as anything else, but Rudkin doesn't have that kind of imagination.

Depressing.

I think if UK TV showed more world news we'd have less of an issue with climate change denial. Couple of years ago Pakistan had an area the size of Britain flooded. There's been hugely increased temperature peaks across the globe. Freak weather events are becoming more frequent and bigger in scope, exactly as expected. But we don't see it on TV unless it happens here, or to a lesser extent, the US.

Sorry if it's answered elsewhere but what experience has Kingy got of coaching to date? I know he's been doing something at city for a short time but has he done anything elsewhere? Not against us taking a punt over the likes of Chris Wilder but just wondered.

I said it on city thread but it's 24 hour news and the need to fill time that's partly to blame. But even more, it's gamification of politics. An intentional attempt to split the country by some vague notion of 'values' to create an us Vs them society. Very like the US. Republicans and democrats actually hate each other and that's what certain media outlets are successfully recreating here. Ordinary people go on social media and just parrot the lines of their side and get angry with each other. It's hugely sad and I'm not a fan of what we've become as a result.

This book value fixation needs to end. You still lose more keeping the player than selling them. Not that I think the club will want to sell Skipp.

I think 24 hour news is to blame. Everybody expects everything to happen instantly. Not even just a football observation tbh. If it's going to happen there will be multiple moving parts, relax everybody.

Think our season hangs on whether we can get a decent goalscorer in up top. Think if we rely on Daka we won't make play offs and could end up relatively low down. He's that bad. Wth a decent striker and our current attacking midfield/wing options we should score plenty.

On a beach in Devon last night, washing down a range of seafood, with a bunch of 'pirates' holding their monthly parley nearby.

Let him go, he isn't very good. Didn't we pay something like £18m for him? Which is crazy when you think he was pretty much unheard of in a tiny league.

Surely if it was anything to do with the club or training he'd drive to Seagrave?

Struggling to comprehend that 28 people on this one website don't think it's real. Proper head in the sand stuff. Given the existential nature of the threat, a shame a further 20% don't think it's human caused, despite a wealth of evidence to show it is. Oil money is doing a very good job of muddying the waters, having people churn our the most basic of basic arguments against to convince some. For anybody interested the last IPCC report it is at https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-cycle/

I mean no disrespect to you when I say this, but I hate all the talk of book value these days. And it's kinda pointless. Because it's irrelevant. If you want rid you have to accept you might have to take a loss over the next year, no different to how it was with one time losses pre-PSR. But mainly it's the first thing, football fans guessing book values and trying to pretend they know what the club would or wouldn't accept.... it's sad modern football has come to this.

Less outrageous, more bizarre. The bloke didn't even bother chasing players that have dribbled past him, he's not going to be in any team's top 3 performers.

Had always seemed a relatively safe second choice in cup games when behind schmeical. Some of the errors he made once promoted to number 1 were almost comical in their ridiculousness. Positioning woeful, goals being scored near the centre when he's stood right to one side, zero handling ability. Absolutely shocking period of goalkeeping.

Managers don't buy players, clubs do. Also, if we wanted our new manager to dodge an input, and we already knew who it was going to be, they could still have input.

The midfield looks good but Daka is absolute dog muck. If we go into this season with him as our main striker we won't be getting even playoffs.

I'd say it's more likely that today was payday so doing the termination today means the payout will come at the end of next month.

They've sacked him today but it's when money leaves our accounts that is important - maybe we're paying him that after 1st July.

I'm probably a bit weird but I quite liked the top right one with the sandy gold colour. When do images of the actual real kits usually get released?

I'd like us to sell 90% of the squad and start again so if we could get £5m we should probably take it. Not because he couldn't do a job in the championship but because we just need a reset. That said, I don't like reading disrespect towards him. He's been a great servant to the club. At one point he was an absolute beast in midfield and it's just time and injuries that have reduced his effectiveness.

I don't really see this. The idea that high quality surroundings make you lazy is not really true is it? There are many factors to our downfall, having an incredible training ground isn't one of them.
