Congratulations on landing Paulo (if you do)

You will have an excellent manager if he does go to you (it seems likely)

Ignore the crud about boring football, the only thing missing for us last season was goal scorers - apart from the odd rubbish performance that all teams experience at this level we played well and created more than enough chances to have walked into an automatic promotion spot. He will ensure a sound defence and patient play which might not appeal to those who claim to to dislike hoofball but all the while want route one stuff.

My only concern is his stickability, he seems to have left QPR under a cloud and now us. However how much is down to him and how much to those who wanted him out is anyone's guess.

It should be remembered that after the absolutely awful position Martinez left us in last summer Paulo took us to our highest league position for 27 years and something like the 7th best finishing position in the club's history.

Apart from our games I wish Paulo and Leicester all the best for the forthcoming season

Thanks very much. :thumbup:

I for one will wait for him to be unveiled before I start getting too happy about it!

All the best for the season! Hope you get your managerial situation sorted soon and i'll keep my fingers crossed it wont be Dowie for you!! :thumbup:

Fans with a dose of realism are always welcomed. Shame for you but we know how you feel about losing a decent manager unfortunately as fans it's out of our hands. Hopefully Sousa will improve our position and you can find someone who will take you to the next level. Good luck.

I'm a bit worried about his signings tbh. His record in the transfer market is not very good. :unsure:

Seems as good as done. But you never really know with Leicester. Or the Mercury :thumbup:

I see Harper is going Hull as well according to SSN. Going to "join pearson who he nearly joined at Leicester before his Leicester exit"

Looking forward to having Paulo in if its all true. Should be interesting to see what happens with these Thai investors as well :dunno:

edit: Forgot to say, good luck to Swansea in finding a new manager, we all know how painful that is. Sorry that we - in a fashion - poached yours away as well :whistle:

Perhaps that means Darren Pratley is coming to us rather than Forest. ;)

Hi DoubleDecker!

Good to receive a post from a Swansea fan without any hint of bitterness. Cheers, you are a sport & I wish your football club well for the new season. Hope you soon get yourselves a decent new manager. You should be ok on that front, looking at your chairmans last 2 appointments, Martinez & Sousa.

Funny old game as someone once said!

Thanks for the input pal :)

Although I'm pleased we've got a new manager (it seems), don't particularly like taking manager's still in a job. Hope you get a good replacement :thumbup:

Sousa bringing Mark Gower and Darren Pratley with him apparently.

Unless we're getting some outsider investment in quick there's no chance we can get Pratley after his season last year. On his way to Forest anyway apparently...

I think as long as he makes us as lean as Pearson did and he did at Swansea, then we'll be fine.

As for this about boring football, I thought the games against Swansea were in fact some of the best we played!

Therefore, in my opinion, anyway; a good appointment.

P.S. I hope we can sign Pratley, he'd be really good for us! :thumbup:

Thanks for a refreshingly nice post from a rival supporter! The very best of luck to you and your team for next season - although I obviously hope you don't do quite as well as us! I also hope you get the right boss to take you that extra mile.

No bids have been made for Pratley, so stories linking him with Forest are wide of the mark at present. Not sure that they could afford him anyway.
