Brainy

We twatted 5 past his team a few months back with even Wout scoring, but yeah sure deffo him over promotion expert D.I Gravelthroat

Steve Gerrard's turn to leap to the top of the betting surely?

Would be our first O'Neil manager

Boo Rudkin, boo the board. But where does booing the manager from day one honestly get you?

It's just not that simple is it. If Pearson returned tomorrow many of us would be ecstatic yet he'd hardly got rave reviews from Derby fans will he? We wouldn't recommend Cooper in the PL but Forest would. Sometimes the club fits the manager. Wilder Sheff Utd is another, stunk out Watford and Mboro. And managers are capable of learning from their own failures, O Neill particularly is new enough in the game to be doing that

Makes you wonder then how managers cycle works then, once they show they're incapable of working at X level, no one will or should take them below that level because their past experiences mean they're guaranteed to not be able to take them forwards

So who is the ready made PL standard manager who we can attract right now that your crystal ball tells you that we won't need to be sacking in 18 months time?

Jon Rudkin has proven he can work with youth

Cooper was an even bigger punt

Cryptic ITKs are 🤮

Genuinely hilarious that people harp on with the "600k for Rohl or 2m for O'Neill when he gets sacked before Christmas" as though Rohl is a guaranteed success and O'Neill is a guaranteed failure. Open your eyes, as much as we hate most of our players we have one of, if not the best squad in the division. Only someone truly dreadful will have us fighting anywhere except the top of the table this season, and as miserable as a lot of you are, O'Neill is not truly dreadful. Neither is Wilder or Dyche. They'd very possibly achieve our goals this season and then next year is the conundrum. Even then there's nothing to suggest Rohl stands a better chance of solidifying us as a PL side more than the others

When did you last see them in meaningful running

And if we pay 600k for Rohl it's guaranteed that we won't be in a position of wanting to sack him in 5 months? How? Point is of all the managers linked with us, they should be capable of making us a top 4 side at a minimum, even if they are uninspiring names. So GON would have to be doing something pretty dreadful to be sacked in 5 months (wait, sorry I forgot that's guaranteed)

Sure but you could say that with virtually every manager (that they have negative traits) - the only managers you perhaps can't say that about are ones that we will not be close to attracting

And finished 14th with no pre season with the players, which to me seems decent. So it's odd how his stats were apparently muck (I won't lie I didn't study what you posted)

Apologies for not running with the usual doom-mongering mindset but is it out of the question that we're interviewing as a contingency for the Rohl situation not being resolved by X date?

Was he there for the whole season? I thought he came in midseason

I'm okay, I've already made my point. I remember being underwhelmed on behalf of Wolves fans when he was appointed manager and was quite surprised at how well he did. Just saying it's not particularly fair to judge a manager by narrowing down his stats to a window where he did a shit job

Full wet tyres are a myth, they don't exist. It goes dry tyres, inters, SC, red flag

You got the stats from the season before? Or are we just handpicking the stats of managers in the months before they got canned/left

Seriously though there are certain people I see in this thread multiple times a day more or less copying and pasting the same compiled list of everything's that's wrong with this club, most of it fair enough, some of it clutching at straws, and rather tediously signing off with "I'm officially done with this club". I take no pleasure in saying this but prove it. Take a break. Turn off social media. Just try and switch off and care a little less, because unless your persona on here is starkly different to the one friends and family see "irl", it's clear that your investment in this football club is taking its toll.

5 years should do it

Cya later tonight

How dare you try and be reasonable with your thinking

Dyche is this eras Allardyce, he's probably waiting for the call from Leeds/Burnley/Sunderland ....at Christmas
