Everyone bar Shazz knows what you mean D_B. Jon(athan) Walters gave a good account of what happens at lesser teams when discussing West Ham on MOTD2 earlier today. Lesser clubs attract a poorer calibre of players for a reason. Better clubs want the best and the further down the ladder you go the more meagre the pickings get. Same applies with managers. Agents will sniff out the desperate clubs and hawk all manner of **** to them.
Thanks Arnold... I did wonder if it was me. You've saved me from developing a complex....Shazz never seems to take a day off.
We need a Warnock type, someone who can work on a small budget and someone who can dish out a bollocking or two and someone who knows this division so what about....... mick McCarthy
We definitely should be looking for a young ambitious manager with a good current record in the lower divisions, as I can't see any manager in our division or above willing to take on this mess. All of the above are the right kind of candidates. Above all we need a manager who knows how to organize a defense as we are a shambles in mid-field and at the back under Slutsky, who I now think has to go...and soon...before we are in a real relegation battle. Lets hope we get it sorted quickly. But whoever we bring in we almost certainly will lose Bowen, Grozitski, and possibly Hernandez, in January, and therewith most of our goal-scoring potential. Time for more promotions from the U-23s??
With Abel's injury I don't see us losing him which might turn out to be a key factor in actually staying in this division
He’ll go for nothing next summer having not played for us again! If he does come back this season which I doubt, it’ll be too late anyway!
Of course he will, he wanted out this summer but we invoked the extra year on his contract - he'll get fit with us and then walk at season end without a backward glance.
