Moyes has drifted out to 4/1 on betfair so you can fill your boots if you're confident about this...

Oh not confident. I just feel it would be an apointment we would make. If I put money on it, I would be even less confident 😂

I've just seen Michael Carrick in Mecca Bingo

It has been suggested that Top feels it was a mistake to move away from his preferred playing style when we appointed Cooper, and that he wants to return to something closer to Maresca's style. If that's true (and I have no idea if it is), then it won't be Moyes.

Personally I think if it is Moyes who gets the job it’ll be a temporary position, something that’s not for the long term. Get a younger man in with something to prove like Lee carsley/ Van Nistleroy, they’ll attract players I believe if we were to give em money to spend in January, which ultimately in needed.

I’m sick reading about how unlucky Cooper has been to get sacked. His whole CV looks so much better in black and white than what it really is. He was ludicrously lucky to get Forest promoted. The sort of luck you dream of. Then Forest broke records on spending money. No promoted team has ever spent so much. They should have easily stayed up that first season and was no major achievement with the squad he had. Now he’s gone they’ve moved up two levels. Then this season with us he’s been awful. Two very lucky wins. Last minute winner and equaliser. Probably at fault for the Palace draw where we should have won. Yet people saying he’s done well. We could so easily be below Southampton. He would not have got us to thirty points. 

And all he's done is whinge about our refereeing decisions, when we've been very fortunate with 2 red cards against Southampton, Ipswich and 2 penalties not awarded to those teams either.

 

Ndidi was very lucky to escape a red yesterday but he still found time to whinge after that game. 

 

Thank god he's gone.

Why would Moyes accept a temporary gig? All he has to do is wait a few weeks and another PL team will offer him a permanent job.

Have you ever heard that Gurinda who rings into TalkSport? Gives us all a bad name.

Was it the same plum that hijacked the BSLB Spaces last night? God what a carcrash that platform is for stuff like that?  Fully enjoyed it up until that point.

Nah just happened to be walking the dog and thought they may be covering us. A few called in and none of them got the point across that we are heading in the wrong direction and nothing to cling on to with cooper. Not even sure what points they were actually making other than the timing is correct

Why post this when anyone can literally go on oddschecker and see that he's still being offered by every platform?

Just spoken to someone who works very closely with the board. (FYI - I am not ITK and never claimed to be - person works on the corporate side with the ownership, not the club and just passing on what they’ve heard). 

 

1. it was all Top’s decision. Chelsea was not a make or break game  - however, Top did attend the game (and arrived earlier due to conversations with a certain player he respects). 
 

2. Top will head up recruitment - he never bought into Cooper and was quite disappointed with the appointment from day 1. This does not sound positive for Rudkin.

 

3. Club has a budget for January - for the first time in years, a representative from the ownership attended a recruitment meeting for the January window - the representative was not impressed with the target list (who presented that list was not clear). 
 

4. Top wants a style and felt the club departed from that. He is also trying to be pragmatic. Top also speaks regularly (post relegation) to a certain ex manager who was very truthful post relegation. That ex manager has fed back his thoughts.
 

5. There is a candidate they want. Not a done deal yet. 
 

Edit: wrote club when I meant board

How's it taken this long though for Top to realise this shit has been festering for several years? 

 

I wonder if that ex-manager is Pearson... 

 

If Chelsea wasn't the make or break game, why not sack him before the internationals and allow for a manager to bed in before that game, albeit for only two weeks. Does this point towards it perhaps being RVN, now that he is available? 

 

I'd love to know how bad that target list was

I suspect it was just that Top was at the game to see for himself, speak to Jamie and make the decision.

Disappointing in 44 pages of foxestalk that no one is even pretending to be ITK. 

This used to be a real forum. Bring back the Tinder thread 

[winteriscoming]

Seeing as we have 3 Danes I’m surprised Kasper Hjulmand hasn’t been mentioned or in the betting odds. 

[Lambert09]

i’m not claiming to be ITK, but i do have some sources on things. that have never been wrong so far. 

 

Do what you want with the info, will delete this post shortly so the bookies don’t get on to me.
