He has Brendan levels of ego and narcissism

Typical Aussie with all that cheerful optimism!!!

Ohhhh errrr Harry, just a sec, come in and sit down, let’s not be hasty eh?

This is brilliant …. I’ve liked him as a manager for a while, his honesty and passion are infectious. It seems his tactics are a great fit - Gerrrrimmmmmin!!!

I do agree with this, but I also really enjoyed having a manager with a plan. The reason him leaving feels so deflating is that I was really looking forward to signing 6/7 players identified to play the exact role he wanted them to. We played well with some square pegs in round holes, I’d allowed myself to hope for some recruitment matched to his plan. I’d bought into the 6 years nonsense Enzo told us when joining. We’ll never know how it turns out now!

I really hope so…. But suspect it may have the opposite effect of Top thinking “blimey, good job I didn’t get rid of Johnny, he’s got to come up with another manager, and I wouldn’t have the first clue how to do that. JR, let’s buy you a car or something, you were right about Maresca all along”!!

Whenever there’s an “if” with our board I now presume we’ll go with the “but” option!!

Exactly. That momentum could have been worth 10 points. It’s so typical of us to squander any advantage

He is Rudkin

A great summary of how I also feel. Instead of celebrating promotion we are searching for a manager, and yet I almost expected something like this to happen. Supporting our club is like having VAR always on… you can’t feel good because there’s always a risk they’ll find a way to disallow it!

Hope so!

Great answer. In response to your last point about bravery, just like with politics, bravery is risky and potentially extremely costly. Hollywood is another example, a film maker can spunk a few hundred mill on a dead cert franchise movie or an actual story…. They pick the former even though nobody actually wants the lack a creativity - it’s that creativity / something different can crash. It’s why I suspect we’ll chase Moyes until he tells us to leave him alone!

That’s the other side to the coin, let’s hope it lands that way!!

Blimey, I’m more deflated reading that summary (which I entirely agree with)!!

That’s the bit that worries me …. We have a reasonable track record of appointing managers, but everytime it’s a risk

We’ve just been promoted, we should be looking forward to next season with excitement, anticipating the signing of the players to fully implement Enzo’s football and plan. Now we’re starting again looking for a new manager. Anyone else completely deflated??

I disagree, he’s just got a Premier League side promoted from a league they should never have been in. That’s got him one of the top (10?) jobs in world football, so keeping us up, despite a points handicap, would only improve on that

Another year of being the best side in the Championship! 😂

London?

Hmmmm these are good points, and that dents my enthusiasm for him. In the positive column his style is so similar he’ll hit the ground running and be a slight evolution not revolution, and will have players he knows he wanted to sign that will fit our squad (in terms of price range and ability to play his style).

My choice would be De Zerbi - Available and plays an attractive version of Enzoball.

You’ve confidently told someone they don’t understand PSR, whilst simultaneously demonstrating that you don’t understand PSR.

Arghhh this makes me really sad. Have a long and happy retirement Claudio, you gave me everything I could ever wish for from football 💙💙💙

In whichever combination it wouldn’t be beyond possibility that all 3 swap within the same 3 clubs.

Or Haarland at Man City, he’s never going to make it the lanky streak of p…
