One positive I see about Enzo is that he might have a couple of gems he might know about at Man City he could bring with him. Or at worse, we might get a couple of decent loans from them..

Said exactly this yesterday, might be key to an immediate return.

Personal opinion, think its maresca and were lining up his backroom team

Trying to convince him Sadler and Stowell aren't a comedy act?

Personal opinion...Rudkin is useless 

[l444ry]

Can't help but think that if it's Maresca, we'll be going through this charade again pretty soon. Not sure we need a tippy-tappy disciple with little managerial experience for a squad rebuild in the Championship.  Taking a big risk in my opinion.

Every day that ticks by with no statement about Deano saying toodeloo, every day it’s closer to him getting a rolling contract.

please be maresca just so that it’s not parker or smith. I just want some excitement back.

 

Even if it goes to shit… well at least enjoy the summer with him in charge. With parker all my hope will be gooooooone

Man who got two gems promoted = no hope.

 

Random who lasted a few games in last job and done nothing = hope.

 

The logic in this place is outstanding at times.

All the "ITKs" on twitter are backtracking on Parker, almost as if they haven't got a scooby what's actually going on

Yea but he’s an exotic sounding name!

Welcome Enzo Maresca

but one of them had a fox emoji in his name and his cover photo was the king power, how can he not be legit

At this rate we will have to ask the Coach driver to stand in the Dugout, at our first Championship Match.

[Molson Canadian]

nobody knows anything. mods i move to lock this thread until anything concrete in terms of an appointment comes up.

It's simply because he's foreign and worked with pep so he must be good. If Scott Parker was called Scotto Parkerinho and had just got back to back promotions in the Brazilian rainforest league, wed all love his hair, dress sense and be pining for him to take over asap.

Yeah and he posted a pic of seagrave earlier so seems legit

[winteriscoming]

I don’t want Parker or Maresca. 
The longer this goes on we’ll either end up with Smith or new name hopefully Hutter. 
So I’m expecting Smith to be announced soon.

McAtee helped Sheff U up, Hardwood Bellis and Tella were key to Burnley. As you say, could make all the difference.

If it was Smith it would have been announced weeks ago

Fans have a penchant for an element of the unknown and the possibility that unproven player or manager having a far higher ceiling than the likes of Scott Parker.

 

It's a risk if that's what we go with but then appointing someone like Parker is not plain sailing either.

It's classed as a fantastic pass and fawned over when Man City do it, albeit they do it rarely because it's not the way to play football  but they find a way to win.

 

Anyone else does it and it's considered "hoof ball" or "booted up field".

 

Them the rules.

 

I'd say their 1st goal in the FA Cup Final was pretty route 1.

Liverpool have scored loads through a long punt to Salah.

Nothing wrong with any of it  but those clubs never receive criticism when they do it

Nah if they were settling for Smith they’d want weeks of us being linked to appointments that would be obviously awful so it comes as a relief to the fans.

I personally think Parker is due a failure. That Fulham side he went up with was far too good for the Championship but only went up via the play-offs, while the Bournemouth side of the season before last did everything they could to balls up promotion at the end or the season.

People need to chill, no need to rush, players aren't even back yet and we have a Chief Scout and DoF identifying targets which I'm sure they're lining up.

 

Amazes me the amount of people who think they know how to run a football club
