Managerial Replacements

[Stevie Synex]

I watched Darkest Hour the other night on TV, a film about the first few weeks of Churchill as the new PM in 1940 during the Second World War. Churchill was asked to be PM because nobody else wanted it and he knew it.

 

Germany had blown Poland away, invaded the Low Countries who were about to capitulate and had the French on the run from the off. The entire British Army was in retreat toward Dunkirk with little chance of getting home and the Americans were tied into a treaty which prevented them from providing any form of military support. 

 

Churchill was up against it and knew it, made some big decisions and got some right and some wrong but the rest as they say is history.

 

We need a Churchillian type leader at the helm of our football club. 

 

Just saying.

He's bringing back an angry aggressive former striker of ours, we could really do with a Wild Wood up front.

To be fair, we need someone to take us Out of the Sinking

Me seeing the thread had gone hot in the 30 minutes since last visiting and desperately hoping it wasn’t just terrible puns:

If Howe did get the England gig would that not make Potter a shoe-in at Newcastle?

Newcastle could attract bigger now, Jose maybe tempted up. If not him then maybe possibly likes of Poch. Newcastle after so long as become attractive project again.

It’s The Birch.

Reckon it's probably announced behind the scenes, but the club might make it official themselves on Thursday/Friday.

It was pre-Cardiff at home in the playoffs. The speech went something like: “We’ll fight them on the beaches…”

Is there any substance in that or just a feeling?

I think the appointment is close the rumours of Potter is certainly become more to a light now. If it is announced that Potter turns down Leicester job, then it's probably going to be Cooper.

 

Be good if the club could announce this before the euro's, so the players can feel at ease knowing who the new manager is especially the ones on tour.

Some great quips in the film. Don't know how accurate they are.

 

In particular when Winston is in the toilet and the shout goes out that the Lord Privy Seal wants to speak with him. The reply was something like, 'tell him I'm already sealed in the privy and I can only deal with one shit at a time'

Winston Churchill as manager? Would he be our first racist since Wayne Brown?
